The Queen has retired; Long Live the King

:sniffs:

“We are Protestants, Charles. The Pope of Rome may abdicate; the Supreme Governor of the Church of England does not!”

“Now Charles you know we haven’t given a damn about the Pope in over 400 years.”

Honestly, I think it is a great idea - ruling, even if it is ‘only’ a constitutional monarchy can’t be easy and low stress. Let someone take over and have a rest, take some nice vacations, freely tell journalists ‘No Comment’ and play bingo or whatever appeals.

What’s the board coming to when people don’t recognize a Monty Python reference?

I don’t know, I never listened to any of his music.

We should invite King Bill-Al to join us here. Unca Cece doesn’t come anymore, and there’s nothing like a monarch to liven things up.

The King of the Netherlands is a Muslim?

Yikes. Some kind of Dutch monarchist “We Are the World,” I guess. Anyone have the lyrics in English? Google failed me.

And what’s with the three-fingered salute - because of his first initial? Have people done that before, or are they trying to start a new fad/custom?

In any event, here’s to the new King - hope he does a good job.
