You don’t have to be a monarchist to feel some cultural affection for the Queen and her institution. No bowing and scraping required. Besides, it’s hardly a monarchy. If the monarch were an autocrat who ruled with an iron fist, I’d be sending pitchforks to the English resistance.
Especially after being denied the promotion he thought he was entitled to for a good 30 years.
Nonetheless, still proof that the system works for old white guys.
Damn right, Al. If you had a job whose primary requirements were to suffer fools gladly and keep your opinions to yourself, you wouldn’t last 15 seconds. But you’d have fun breaking the mold before abdicating.
Are you kidding? This is a producer’s dream — lots of planned-ahead historical stuff already in the can, moving pictures of something other than nattering heads — and on a slow weekend besides!
We fought a whole revolution so we wouldn’t have to bow and scrape to Lords and Ladies. But some people just seem to love that shit.

Gotta feel a bit sorry for Charles. Who wants to start a new job at age 73?

Lol a “job”.
Go ahead and laugh. Whatever you call it, you wouldn’t want to do it.

The “job” must not be too bad since they all seem to live forever.
Mountbatten didn’t.
This wall to wall coverage on cable is fucking ridiculous.

Settle in for several days of this stuff.
Joey is going so all is good! What an amazing old man we call President!!!
What an amazingly dull trolletariat we attract!!! Can’t you guys come up with a single clever insult?
Ugh? I’m on board with Biden. Paranoid?
“What an amazing old man we call president” is supportive? In that case you gotta work on your compliments.
