It was due to him already being pretty old. He is 70 and the thought would be that it would be better for the nation to skip Charles and go right to William.What was the talk about him getting skipped? I know I've heard it before. Was it around the divorce and blew over? Like was this a done deal or chance somebody else was king today?
I saw a bbc reporter say that might not be the case because his statement just refers to him as “the king.” It’s possible the British PM assumed wronglyHe’s going with Charles III as that is what PM Truss called him.
wouldnt it be in the royal family best interest to make william king (young cute family etc).... who the f wants charles and his mistress?

It’s the UK. The PM derives authority from the monarchy. It wasn’t an accident.I saw a bbc reporter say that might not be the case because his statement just refers to him as “the king.” It’s possible the British PM assumed wrongly
Surely, you jest.They need to skip Charles and let Prince William and Prince Harry joust for the throne
Real missed opportunity to be Campbell I, IMO...I saw a bbc reporter say that might not be the case because his statement just refers to him as “the king.” It’s possible the British PM assumed wrongly
Edit: BBC is now reporting he will be known as King Charles III
So is Prince Charles King now or is he getting skipped?
I say go right to one of those little kids so they can beat great grandma's 70 year run.
Yes. He is unpopular for a variety of reasons, not least the divorce from Diana and her death making her way more popular. People generally like William a lot, seems like he gets gma's "duty first" while still appearing to be a decent person with a pretty wife and cute kids. So there was some thought (hope?) that Charles would either die or pre-retire and the throne would bypass him straight to William. I suppose it still might- Charles could be King for a short term and then retire early - sort of like what Benedict did with the Papacy.
No, he said joustSurely, you jest.
Wow, the nerve of the queen to "croak" and mess up your trip. Your grief must be overwhelming.I’m going to London next week. If she croaks I’m afraid it’ll ruin my trip. I’d imagine there would be a lot more people out and about.
She was 96. There was always that risk but yes I care more about my trip than I do about a queen that I have no obsession or personal connection.Wow, the nerve of the queen to "croak" and mess up your trip. Your grief must be overwhelming.
