gcreptile 10,963 Posted May 12, 2022 I can't quite believe this thread will eventually have to be renamed to "King Charles". He'll always be a prince to me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slackhurst Broadcasting 374 Posted May 12, 2022 It will feel odd to say "The King" instead of "The Queen." And he'll be on the stamps and money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 14,384 Posted September 9, 2022 As some have said, it’s still odd to read ‘King Charles III’. Maybe the subheading of this thread should be ‘The artist formerly known as Prince’? 1 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think @MortalCaso is closer to the ball park. His ominous use of the phrase "the time remaining to me" and his already ruddy complexion do not suggest to me he will live as long as his father 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His mother was just a few years short of her Golden Jubilee when she was his age. He'll have to travel a lot over the next year or so, start reading the state papers every day, audiences with the PM and so on. Edward VII lasted 9 years. I agree, 10-15 seems logical. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
