The above caption is just a certain section of the Internet's belittling and vile thoughts...anything for clickbate, really.....just to focus on the chaos that is, sadly, happening..

But, yes, if modern Britain that is stated is about diversity in all it's ways and forms....

I love the royal family, being a Brit myself, and think that Charles would make a fantastic Monarch.

Supporting the Royal Fam and appreciating the positives in this country? Yep...count me in.

He is already the monarch. The British tradition is encapsulated in the phrase "The king is dead, long live the king."

@CassandraSissy I agree. I'm not sure about joining whatever celebrations might take place locally but Charles is already King because the succession is immediate. The Coronation formally and ceremonially complete that that.

@ArishMell Does that mean he became King the moment Queen Elizabeth II died??

Yes. It works that way in the UK (and those Commonwealth nations who have the monarch of the UK as head of state) and Norway and I think most European countries now. It used to be different in the Holy Roman Empire; the monarch was elected but not by universal suffrage of course, just by a small group of high nobles and the pool of candidates was exceedingly small.
