Not my king ( from a lifelong Royalist!)

I was a Royalist, I was a child when Elizabeth II took the throne, I always had doubts about Charles and I have been proved, unfortunately, right. William won’t be any better. I am becoming a Republican and I don’t seem to have any party to vote for . Reform are keeping very quiet, I think Robert Jenrick should be their leader, on present showing.

Agree with every point, Victoria. I have become Republican too despite being Monarchist all my life. This King has made me see how unreliable Monarchy is. He has betrayed his people and his Coronation oath and should be made to abdicate. Unfortunately, he has a lot of Arab Prince “friends” who have donated vast sums of money to his pet projects. Imho, he has been successfully bought.

I am sorry to hear this from a Brit, but it confirms my sad observation (from the U.S.) of Charles.

I, too, watched Elizabeth become Queen, when I was a little girl. My mother let my sister and I stay up late to watch it on a little, tiny TV screen.

I followed her life...admired and respected her for the most part. I believe she knew that Charles would not be a good king; and she stayed on the throne as long as she possibly could.

But no one lives forever!

The king and government have no respect for us

Couldn’t agree more. Unfortunately it’s a disgrace, utter hypocrisy. No surprise really when you think about it runs through our political system and judiciary. Someone is pulling the strings to cause conflict, chaos and war. This is not just a problem in Britain, it’s basically worldwide . Western style countries are being distroyed internally while the Middle East , Ukraine tensions might seem to be simmering down but I wonder for how long and where next will war spring up.

We are falling like Constantinople. This King has a lot to answer for. The breaking of his Coronation Oath must be seen as a violation of his position. Does he have no sensitivity towards the suffering that this barbaric, backward, alien religion is inflicting in his people? Can he not see there is no place in the future Caliphate he is promoting for a Christian King? He has taken much money for his “charities” from generous Arab princes and now has come the reckoning. I wish he would abdicate but neither of his sons would be any better.

On the lighter side, I must say, this Imam has an excellent voice (I’ve been wakened by a number of variable ones in my time abroad, including some scratchy old recordings from the minaret!).

Interesting, that portrait, don't you think? Possibly Hell is where CIII is drifting.

He won't be King for much longer. If you saw the speech he made recently (on some ship, I thought) he was trying but failing to get a full sentence out. His cancer appears to be affecting his lungs.

A friend pointed out that while he doesn't smoke, Camilla ("not my Queen") is a chainsmoker and may well be effectively responsible for his death. What an irony, after his responsibility for Diana's.

God is not mocked.

That horrible moaning, wailing sound that one hears in parts of Istanbul multi times per day made me sick! I told my cousin I didn't like it and I didn't feel safe and the sooner we were out of Turkey the better.

Based on the blasphemic behavior of Charles, allowing horrific islamic sounds to echo in churches where the Gospel has been historically preached, I would pray that the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY will show Charles who is actually KING!

KING of Kings and LORD of Lords

Queen Elizabeth knew that her son and heir to the throne is a Socialist and a heretic... and that he would be an atrocious monarch. She held out until she could no longer be Queen.

Hey, Charles! "BE NOT DECEIVED. GOD IS NOT MOCKED. WHATSOEVER A MAN SOWS, THAT ALSO SHALL HE REAP"

I don’t agree with British courts being subverted by the ECHR but one benefit of that set up would be if they held Charles to account for failing to uphold his oath to the public. Britain’s political establishment — which the Royals are part of — knighted Tony Blair and Queer Starmer — and mark my words, they’ll knight Boris Johnson in the next 10 maybe 15 years, too.

Charles is as embarrassing as Harry and Megan. The Royal Family are an embarrassing anachronism and I suspect they’ll be gone within my lifetime (I’m 45).
