Move King Charles to the guard hut at the gate.

Well, watch the wheels turn ‘round.

The succession is ruled by birth; and nobody is going to do what you suggest.

(I guess you think that the royals killed Diana, too...)

He’s right—I visited Windsor Castle in 2016, and planes from Heathrow fly over it about once every 5 minutes. It’s incredibly noisy and oddly ghetto. Even though there was a SOLID SILVER TABLE in there which was the both the most grotesque and beautiful piece of furniture ever. I wouldn’t want to live there either—never buy in an area with an “unfixable defect”—which in this case is noise. It’s like buying a home right by the freeway.

But my trip to London was amazing—I recommend it to all of you! The Tower of London, the Churchill War Rooms, the Victoria and Albert museum, Buckingham Palace (we toured inside), the cathedrals—I loved it all.

Same here but 20 or so years earlier. The London part. I didn’t get out to Windsor.

He’s nothing but a tool of the corrupt United Nations, imo.

Soundproofing has been around for over a century now and can be applied to structures like Windsor Castle. And a lot of interstates in urban and suburban areas have noise barriers these days. Hardly an “unfixable defect”.

The queen is 95. She may live to see her 100th birthday, but 105th is more problematic. Charles will be 73 next month. So he could be king before he’s 80. Or maybe the queen will be succeeded by her grandson.

"Buckingham Palace is stunningly beautiful. If you are ever invited over for tea, you should definitely go."

I visited Buckingham Palace in August of 2007. It was only open during the summers when the Queen wasn't in residence. I'd visited Windsor Castle in early May of 2006, and the State Rooms were off-limits then, because the Queen was there at the time.

I’ve probably got more British and Scottish royal blood than the so-called Windsors. In fact, I’m supposed to be connected to royal ancestry back in the Germanic Empire too.

Whats your point? Do I need to meet some personal criteria for you?

Charles has always been a moron lefty. I shudder to think of what this low IQ inbred jerk will do to the beautiful palaces.

She has chest congestion and a sinus sniff. Sounds like she took the vax, is conjugating s proteins and will have heart failure in two weeks. Or she has a common cold. Good queen Bess the eveready pink bunny still running at 95 years.

Well, the Royal Family hasn’t soundproofed that castle yet—the airplane noise was loud inside and out. . .

Indeed. Essentially, Charles’ excuse is bunk.

For not soundproofing, that is.

Incorrect.

I’ll just leave it at that, but suggest a re-read of Judges and the Samuels.
