On the official announcement at the gates of Balmoral it read:
The King and the Queen Consort regret to ....
Yes.. technically, he becomes the next ruler 'immediately'
after the death of the queen.
But it takes a little while for everyone to update their
allegiances "ie. bowing for the [updated] royals" and the re-
swearing of the allegiances to the king instead of the queen
now, etc.
I'm ashamed when I see people bowing for the royal folks.
It's a leftover from the middle-ages and I cannot accept
that the (theoretical) leadership of a country depends
upon a specific sperm and a specific egg fusing. They are
born with a silver spoon.
Yeah.. and what gives them the right to maintain this
pretentious position?
Today, they serve little more than being a tourist attaction,
really.
The queen never expressed options on politics nor tried to
influence things. Her goal was to maintain the hereditary
status quo and live a peaceful yet privileged life.
We now have a crown princess, OK ... she's kinda hot, and
celebrity watchers are now scouring the masses to find
someone to breed her with [...]
May she likes really old men like you. :D
