He mentioned his "love" for Harry and Meghan

I thought he did a fantastic job of that speech. He had me in tears.

I thought it was good too. He spoke well and was very family centered.

He was covered in grief.

I just saw it and think it was great. It was warm and heartfelt, which was unexpected. And I noted that he referred to his family by first names (eg, William, Catherine, Harry, Megan) instead of their royal titles. The speech writers really focused on the human, family elements here. And he teared up at the end talking about his mother and father at the end.

It was sweet. He came across as warmer than I expected.

Good speech by Chuck. Though, I think this job will kill him within a decade. He’s not accustomed to the pace and seriousness of the demands.

Charles does 400+ engagements a year and has since the 80s. He is far-and-away the most engaged royal of any age.

Umm.. you're joking, right? Charles has been working more than the Queen for years and years and years. 335 to her 118 engagements last year.

Did you catch that they changed their handle to D of D of Cornwall and Cambridge when the Queen was still dead in her bed? The thirst is real.

PP not joking, just ignorant.

Charles is a pretty active Royal and besides, this isn’t like becoming the pope. That job will age the F out of you.

There are about 200 working days a year.

So it a big deal he has 1-2 “engagements“/ working day?

If Elizabeth died suddenly, what would Camilla’s title be? I guess it was determined long before the Queen officially announced it. Would Philip as king grant her a higher title or is there a default royal title?

Why would you think Philip would’ve ever been king???

She becomes King Mother.

Just like Elizabeth’s mom was Queen Mother.

Lol on 2nd thought

King step mother

Elizabeth's mother was only Queen Mom because she shared the same name as her daughter. That's it. The press needed a way to differentiate them especially as they often appeared in public together.

This. Otherwise they would have both been Queen Elizabeth. Camilla will remain Queen Camilla after Charles dies. No one will confuse her with Queen Catherine.

It’s 3X someone doing 70-90 engagements a year for certain.

Charles was also declared monarch before the Queen was even cold. I guess his thirst was even more real.

Ever heard the phrase "The King is dead. Long live the King!"? None of this is new or unusual.
