  1. I'll be 72yo in November if he needs any help!😁

  2. Princess Margaret was already gone at 71- Charles is past that one can only hope that King William will right the ship before long.

  3. Let's just hope he makes better decisions smh, think about the people for once

  4. Time for the book of revelations to take place 😈 good luck everyone

  5. It took him his whole existence to become king with his luck he probably be king for a few years he looks a lot older than 73 he won't have time to reign and leave his own imprimatur

  6. William oughts to be the new King!

  7. As i am not a fan of the royal family as such the king and the rest of his family gave an emotional tribute to their mother, they were all devastated you could tell in their faces it said it all

  8. Long live the King 👑

  9. King Charles wants a one world government/economy see Revelation 13. This is end times stuff. It's so important that you come to Jesus now, believe and repent. The kingdom of God is at hand. Love y'all

  10. Listen to Clark Van Wick pastor/teacher, on youtube. He goes thru the Bible and gives a clear understanding of the word of God.

  11. What exactly is the service he provides? Other than using all the peoples tax money, the privilege, protecting his brother from prosecution.

  12. Well his mum had the longest reign….
    So he'll probably have the shortest…

  13. “From the aesthetic point of view it won’t matter a bit because the prospect of a morose, bat-eared and chinless man, prematurely aged and with the most abysmal taste in royal consorts, is a distinctly lowly one.”

    – Christopher Hitchens –
    Upon Charles III becoming King of England

  14. This guy doesn’t have much time left either 😂

  15. "Better late than never" – king charlie

  16. Kinky King Charles Ordered Five Girls Stripped? I’m gonna have to get used to this…

  17. Queen Elizabeth has been alive for so long that the title "King of England" now sounds wrong somehow.

  18. All the people who are so invested in this stuff should remember how much death the British empire oversaw. Remember the Boston Tea Party? American's are supposed be anti-monarch yet they are all crying

  19. The waited his whole life, imply he somehow relishes a burden that requires the worst day of anyone's life. .

  20. Great! We lost a sweet charming queen of Canada and got ourselves a possible pedo king!

  21. If you see him walking down the street toward you…..

    Who?

    King Charles the "Adulterer" with the spoils of his affair he married….Camilla

    WALK ON BY….

    What an example to set to us all…

    NOT!

  22. the British throne is full of the most vile people in human history. read your history folks.

  23. If Chinese 🇨🇳 Xi Jinping or Putin passes away,
    would the world mourn like this?
    – I don't think so.
    The world may celebrate.

  24. The Changing of the Guard
    The continuation of "The Firm"
