Indeed good point. He will use his influence just as she did.

These BBC documentaries are dope. Sentimental as fuck but I wouldn't want it any other way now. Thousands of years of history will deal with other aspects of her reign.

This is true.
There's been loads of made up things about Harry and Meghan over the past day, makes me wonder where Andrew is right now.

I have never been a big fan of his but I choked up a little bit with my English bubbles. The message of him committing the rest of his years for service - with no retirement, no privacy, no free life ever again, until the day he dies.

I've never understood the hate for Charles. I have zero interest in royalty but he's always struck me as a genuinely decent guy. Same goes for the old Queen at that.
My own country lived under Danish colonialism. We still make jabs at the Danish but it's never been as ill hearted as I've seen on the Internet in the past two days.

Meghan Markle Disinvited from Seeing Queen Elizabeth in Final Hours
Prince Harry traveled solo to see his grandmother as she was dying, and that wasn't on accident ... Meghan Markle reportedly did not get an invite to be by her side.

Think it stems back to his treatment of Diana and still carrying on with Camilla while they were married.
Diana’s quote of ‘there were three of us in this marriage’ for example.

Rest in peace. She seemed to be a good person and did well with what she was tasked to do. You can feel the significance of her passing, and all that she represents and has been witness to. It feels what can only be described as history turning a page. A brief moment to reflect.

Will is 40 - how much more mature are you expecting him to get?

If Henry 6 can do it at 8 months old then William can do it at 40 years

It’s not about whether they can become king, it’s about whether they should.
Henry the 6th only became king at that age, because there was no other choice.
My point is why would Charles abdicate for William, and ruin his life? What possible good reason would there be?

Those long posts don't cover that red neck boy
May gave out a good speech. This is especially apparent when you aren't from UK. From where i am from (Dutch), she is remembered as looking grumpy.
But looking grumpy doesn't land you the immense popularity or endurance Elizabeth II did get. So instead by comparison for me to understand, she was to UK what our former Queen Beatrix is to the Netherlands. Loved and cherished, a constant flow in a river that sometimes dries up and then ignites rapidly.
And by that comparison it is easier to understand why Elizabeth II was so adored. Because she was always there. People find shelter and faith in things (people/buildings/deities/statues) that are consistent and don't change opinion or form, atleast to the public eye.
Elizabeth II set out to do just that: Being timeless in a everchanging timeline.
She achieved it.

Charles won't abdicate. This is his destiny as rightful heir and what God put him on the world to be. And he fucking loves it. Doubt the wellbeing of William factors in much.

I doubt Charles believes the old line that its a "divine right". I could see him enjoying the seat for a bit and then abdicating due to health in the near future.
Not everyone is made of the Iron that the Queen was. Not everyone is able to be in such a position until death.

No one has abdicated for health reasons before so I don't see it happening any time soon. Charles will be king until he dies and then it will be William. That's just how it goes.

You are probably right.
I'm just saying I also wouldn't be surprised if it happened the way I mentioned.

Of course he believes it. There's a reason heirs behave very differently to their siblings who almost get a blank cheque to live the life of millionaire luxury with very few of the drawbacks. They are groomed into it from when they're born that the overwhelming weight of duty and responsibility will fall on them. Charles has been thinking he's all powerful king since before his mum even had a walking stick by trying to exert himself with various governments. Its absolutely his belief he was born to rule, because that is the truth.
Whether he abdicates and uses health, or anything else, as an excuse is neither here nor there. There's no evidence we have that points to him just not wanting to do it.

Agree to disagree. I don't think any sane person in the modern age is deluded and ignorant enough to believe in a "divine right" to rule.
And Charles does not strike me as crazy.

Why are you bringing stuff like the modern age into a discussion about the royal family? The fact that they are put here by God to rule the subjects is their entire reason for existing.

Mate, I doubt they went to Australia because it was ruled by the King/Queen and not a Republic. Otherwise they would be in the United Kingdom, right?
They obviously went there because of dingos and kangurus are superior to foxes and deers.

He's not really kidding. The royal family being ordained by god is technically part of the "lore" of the British monarchy. As well as being the head of state the British monarch is also head of the Anglican church. And I believe "by the grace of god" is technically part of the monarch's full title. You dig into an old institution like that and there's some weird shit still buried in there.

What really pisses me off about this is her final PM she saw through is a complete cock womble, and her speech of the queen after the passing was an absolute shit show, and you can see why after looking at her history... Where as Boris' was truly heart feltLess than 2 days before her passing she welcomed in our new PM which shows her complete dedication and servitude for the country. A rare role model that carried out her duties in a way that almost doesn't exist anymore in sea of pretenders. Many won't understand why so many people care, but to quite a sizeable amount of people, the nation state and an identity tied to a nation that tries to do the right thing by people still matters. As does history.
She's been a grandmother of sorts to all, a calming influence and figurehead of stability through wars, economic and social crisis. Whilst the world and culture has changed so much, she's served as a reminder of the values of the old world that are still so relevant today. Duty, dignity, integrity and family. Rest in peace.
We are truly doomed as a nation.

No I understand that at one time that was the dogma and the party line.
I'm saying that no sane human being in the modern age would believe that it's real. Anyone who is even slightly educated knows that the royal families of the world got to where they were by a combination of luck, wealth, and politics. The current English royal family is no different.
There is not a single solitary chance in hell that Charles actually believes that he has some divine right to rule. He has never struck me as a zealot or an idiot.
