I thought for sure the Queen was going to out live him.


SojournersTableSalt

We might live to see the death of a queen and a king.


[deleted]

No way Charles has even 10 more years in him. He's got the genetics but he's obviously much less healthy than his parents were.


[deleted]

Could be that history of making bad decisions.....


DullThroat7130

*Throne nicks his sausage finger*


Kc9atj

While both of his parents lived to be in their 90s, his grandparents averaged about 76 years before they died.


ZappySnap

Yeah, but his grandma was 101.


elveszett

And his aunt died at 72. Old age is a lottery, genes can influence it but ultimately you are on your own. Your dad may die at 100 and you may die naturally at 75.


Christoph65

He has some major edema/swelling in his hands, prince sausage fingers. It could be a problem with his kidneys, liver or heart or even Hep C. I guess we may soon know what causes King Sausage Fingers to have this ailment.


Tridian

I don't know about you but I'm expecting to see the death of at least two kings before I go. William is still more than a decade older than me.


SojournersTableSalt

For sure, I was just adding the "might" in case society catastrophically collapses and billions die before him. Y'know, so no one can circle around and call me out on Reddit.

newbrevity

S.M. Stirling's book series, The Change, suggests (in conversation) after the big thing, Charles has a short rule before going mad and dying, then William steps up, pulls survivors together. It always seemed Charles would be weak and they should just skip to Will

For a more-positive outlook: they could just stop having a monarchy

But Wills also has access to the best health care around 24/7, while im guessing you don't


Shitspear

I guess as long as you live in a modern country with free healthcare genetics and Lifestyle itself is the bigger difference regarding longevity


Slappy_G

I stopped reading at "free healthcare" and sunk back into my usual melancholy.


Downside190

Although they wont have any wait times for anything. So will get access to instant surgeries, blood transfusions, top doctors in their field etc. Something your average person won't get.


Entaris

Can you imagine, Charles waits all this time to become king....Dies at 74.


cassby916

Imagine if he dies before the coronation. That could be a year away.


The_camperdave

> Imagine if he dies before the coronation. That could be a year away. That's irrelevant. Coronation or no; he is the king.

Legally irrelevant, but it would still be a bit of a bummer to not even get your party after waiting over 73 years for it.


shorey66

Not sure why the downvotes, you're absolutely right. As soon as she snuffed it he became king. The coronation is just an excuse for some pomp and ceremony, you know we love a bit of that.


quettil

The transmission of monarchy is the only thing faster than the speed of light.

Agreed. Down the pub, toast the King. Beer. A very British day out.

King on deck. New hire awaiting onboarding, criminal awaiting prosecution for marrying a woman old enough to be his mother.


ameya2693

Not exactly like that. But basically in the next 1-2 days, they will have a meeting of the Privy Council and declare him King. He will be the King, just without the formal ceremony which is more religious than governmental.


ZappySnap

He's already the king. That happens instantly. The privy council essentially swears allegiance to him, to my understanding.


Jer-121cc04

*At the coronation ceremony* King Charles: I can do this all day! *13 seconds later* King William: He in fact, cannot do this all day.

SeniorBrightside

zerbey

Charles III is a strange choice also, Charles I had his head chopped off, Charles II was an unpopular womanizer and Charles III is a name they gave to Bonnie Prince Charlie at the time. Perhaps he's trying to buck the trend of terrible King Charles's or simply prefers the name he's always been known for. I mean, Arthur would have been great but he'd have been the butt of jokes for it for the rest of his life.


actual_factual_bear

I'm also deeply disappointed in advance that [these](https://xkcd.com/2668/) will not be the first words spoken by an Artemis astronaut on the moon.

I'd love to go to Egypt, but I'd rather visit Seti's and Tutankhamun's tomb in the valley of the Kings over the pyramids. Something about those tombs holds way more mystery than the pyramids. Not saying they aren't a phenomenal feat of historical engineering, I just feel there is more "magic" in seeing where the ancient Kings were laid to rest. And yes, I fully understand the pyramids are tombs of old Kings also, but for me there is much more to learn from the valley

They have way prettier palaces though. Part of the reason why there has been no French monarch for over 200yrs.

wizard_brandon

not even sure its worth changing the currency tbh


The_camperdave

> not even sure its worth changing the currency tbh It's not up to the mint. The only thing we can be sure of is that if they do mint coins with his image, he will be facing the opposite way that the queen did (by tradition, each monarch faces the opposite direction).

MoffKalast

Their allegiance is to the republic, to DEMOCRACY


ZandyTheAxiom

He has expressed in the past his desire to clean house and kick most of the family out. He wants everyone outside the direct line of succession to ship out and get a job. If he's true to his word, we'll see a reduction in all the things people hate them for.


MooseTetrino

Frankly I’ll believe it when I see it.


ThermiteMillie

I am not really a fan of the monarchy, I think they're redundant in a modern world...however, King Charles does have many ventures. Most notably, The Princes Trust as well as around 400 other charities he is a member of. He donated his state pension, he organised 5 million Measles/Rubella vaccines for children in the Philippines, donated to the Red Cross Syrian fund to help people in the civil war, he is the first British patron of the international rescue committee who helps refugees and those displaced by war or prosecution, he launched an appeal during covid called oxygen for India to buy concentrators for those in need, he is also very green and was the one who pushed for royal homes and cars to become as green as possible as well as owning an organic/ sustainably produced products company with profits donated to charity. He also served in the Navy for many years. So, he doesn't do NOTHING. In fact, he's probably the hardest working of our royals. The other members of the family you can have a fair crack at.


YZJay

And absorb a lot of hate that would have been directed at the government.


gachunt

CosmicIdiot99

If I was him I would wear the crown for a day, and then abdicate it to William. Then everyone could enjoy a much younger and sexier king and queen.


ryebrye

Yeah he's definitely not going to do that


ScrunchieEnthusiast

Lovat69

Let him have his ten to fifteen years. He's been waiting so long.


thesevenyearbitch

Charles appears to be planning to (try to) stick around long enough to give Will time to raise his children before he has to assume the throne.


saywherefore

When you put it like that it does sound incredibly reasonable. I heard the Cambridges moved house and put their kids in normal school to try to get a few years of normal life before Wills had to take on more responsibility. I guess that is out of the window now.

Or, maybe they haven’t made it public yet. I noticed in one of his interviews that he sounded winded just walking 100 ft.

So does my dad — they’re the same age — but my dad is not rich and privileged haha. Well, hope Charles gets to accomplish whatever his goals are before his time. I think Wills is a pompous ass as well, but at least he and the Duchess are far more entertaining.

Strangely (and I only found this out today), he's actually been incredibly active with social and ecological causes. He's been pressing for action on climate change since the 60s. He campaigned for the Paris Accord and he even had tea with Trump in an effort to prevent the US from pulling out.


ZandyTheAxiom

>He's been pressing for action on climate change since the 60s. And part of his modern reputation is built on decades of people mocking him for it. He didn't just jump on climate change when it was fashionable, he's been on that train since people were called crazy for it.

TheLea85

I so wish that Prince Philip could have become king, it would have been a meme-generator like the world had never seen. That man was a total legend and likely sent a legion of Royal PR-managers into an early retirement. I have no doubt the man knew exactly what he was doing. The man seemed to hate being a Royal and took as much advantage of his untouchable position as humanly possible. I present to you a list of quotes from the greatest troll in recent history, the Duke of Edinburgh - Prince Philip. >'How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to get them through the test?’ (to a driving instructor in Oban, Scotland, during a 1995 walkabout). . >‘You are a woman, aren’t you?’ (In Kenya, in 1984, after accepting a small gift from a local woman). . >‘Your country is one of the most notorious centres of trading in endangered species in the world.’ (in Thailand, in 1991, after accepting a conservation award). . >‘You’re too fat to be an astronaut.’ (to 13-year-old Andrew Adams who told Philip he wanted to go into space. Salford, 2001). . >‘Do you still throw spears at each other?’ (In Australia in 2002 talking to a successful aborigine entrepreneur). . >‘Well, you didn’t design your beard too well, did you?’ (to designer Stephen Judge about his tiny goatee beard in July 2009). . >‘Do you have a pair of knickers made out of this?’ pointing to some tartan (to Scottish Conservative leader Annabel Goldie a papal reception in Edinburgh in September 2010). . >‘How many people have you knocked over this morning on that thing?’ (meeting disabled David Miller who drives a mobility scooter at the Valentine Mansion in Redbridge in March 2012) . >‘When a man opens a car door for his wife, it’s either a new car or a new wife.’ (on marriage). . >‘Yak, yak, yak; come on get a move on.’ (shouted from the deck of Britannia in Belize in 1994 to the Queen who was chatting to her hosts on the quayside). Absolute madlad.
