Charlie Kelly was King of the Rats.
There is also the rat king
And the Nutcracker’s arch-enemy, the Mouse King
There is also a King of the Gypsies.
St. Louis has Becky, the Queen of Carpets. Along with some really awful hometown advertising of her, a very big girl, wearing a crown while riding a flying carpet past various local landmarks. I did not know that here in the 21st Century somebody could produce a special effect that bad.
I tried to find a cite, but she’s not quite prominent enough to be on YouTube.
That’s her exactly; Queen Becky in all her Glory! Well done. As corny as only a hometown ad can be. Between her and Princess Wanda, I hope that carpet has a very strong magic buoyancy engine to keep it aloft.
As to my searching failures, I’d originally remembered her as “Becky the queen of mattresses”. And when I was searching for that, “queen” + mattress was a total red herring that utterly confused YouTube’s search engine. After all, every ad for a mattress store includes the fact that they sell queen-sized mattresses.
Then I could not persuade YouTube to stop showing me hundreds of pages of mattress ads. Queen Becky was probably somewhere on page 37 of the results, but I never clicked that far.
Obscure 1970’s Canadiana: King of Kensington
There might be room for her on British TV. Ever since La Pracatan went to join the Great Keyboard in the Sky and Eddy Wally hung up the hair-dye, there’s been a gap.

“Fargo” begins in an upstanding establishment known as the King of Clubs.

Eddie Feigner was the King in the King And His Court.
Forgot about him. Got to see him pitch once. IIRC it was a 4 man team, pitcher, catcher, and 2 fielders, against 10. After a few innings they took a huge lead. Nobody could hit Eddie’s stuff.
