They should have beheaded that bunch of royals a few centuries back.

They beheaded Charles I and wound up with Cromwell and the Major Generals.

There is a reason Charles II was restored.

Well they did behead Charles I but didn’t like what they got in his place, so they asked his son back to be king. The article strikes me as a slam against Charles III ignoring the fact that his beloved mother, grandfather, great-grandfather, etc. etc. benefited exactly the same way.

Lots of reasons to criticize Charles (and the monarchy) but following a practice that goes back for centuries seems a bit much.
