    He's not King yet at the time of this writing, ;) but I suppose
    they will make it official tomorrow. :D

    .... and Queen consort ....

    Sheesh.. "consort". They just HAVE to come up with a special
    word for "wife" of a monarch. :(

    Do you LIKE being the subject of a king and queen yourself?

    August,

    On the official announcement at the gates of Balmoral it read:

    The King and the Queen Consort regret to ....

    .... and Queen consort ....

    Sheesh.. "consort". They just HAVE to come up with a special

    Actually, Lizzie came up with it herself ....

    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.

    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 and secure the monarchy. If you're the guy, you don't have to work a single day in your life anymore and you get to fuck a hot princess ... it's like a Disney movie, and certainly winning the lottery.

    Hello Ward!

    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.

    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.

    someone to breed her with [...]

    May she likes really old men like you. :D

    So when are you going to do that?

    In Belgium they serve a role, but nothing that will shake the world.

    May she likes really old men like you. :D

    Because I'm 71 does not give you the right to call me old, I'm much younger than a lot of 15-20yr olds ....

    Apprently..

    "People who have sworn allegiance to Her Majesty do not need to
    swear allegiance to the new Sovereign.

    "All hail King Ward", sounds weird. Nah, you couldn't pull it
    off. :D

    Congratulations all Canucks with your new King ...
    .... and Queen consort ....

    Pfft!` Not my king -- we repatriated our Constitution & right to act autonomously in 1982.

    We keep the royals on as a figurehead as a nod to tradition & history, not to be subjects. . .

    I'm not looking forward to the invoice & tax bill to have all new money plates & mint dies designed to accommodate his majesty's jughead ears!
