      Eh. Old Lizzie did alright toward the end. Her ancestors and governments were quite monstrous (especially that weapon Thatcher). However, she breached protocol during her state visit to Ireland in 2011, to start her speech in a formal Irish language introduction. Further, she came the closest that any monarch that I’m familiar with to offering an actual apology to a former colony for the way that her country had treated them over the centuries.

    I’m not much into the British politics, so what’s the problem here? The dude was the heir, everyone knew he would be king, that’s what “heir” means. As far as I know he didn’t do much as king to ruin the timeline, because he thankfully just couldn’t. So basically nothing really happened, one rich dude inherited some money from the other rich dudess, that’s all, what’s the fuss?

      I’m assuming this is some guy plastering his house with the King’s picture - the sort of thing you’d expect in a monarchy rule, not democracy.

    I think it’s more of a thing that someone realised they accidentally time traveled or had a coma. Charles III was basically inevitable.
