So what kind of King will Charles be?

[Anonymous]

Duke of Edinburgh, named after the city of Edinburgh in Scotland, is a substantive title that has been created three times since 1726 for members of the British royal family. It does not include any territorial landholdings and does not produce any revenue for the title holder.

There are decades where no one had the title. Charles may not give it to anyone.

It was announced that Prince Phillip, the Queen, and the then Prince of Wales agreed that Edward would get it. Because Charles was the eldest son, he automatically inherited it, and the Queen couldn’t just give it to someone else. Now that Charles is king, the title is part of the Crown, so Charles can hand it out. Edward and Sophie have kept their noses very clean, so no way Charles doesn’t do it,

Hmm more like they’ve kept their noses brown.

I think he’ll try to avoid it. His reference clearly is to not have extra royals around and Edward is not a friend. If he delays, it will force Edward and Sophie to either keep their mouths shut graciously and stay out of sight (meaning people forget about them and they never get it) or Sophie amps up her press leaking to get sympathy stories which could piss off Charles. If there is too much press either in getting the title or lobbying for it, the press may go after outing Edward.

Without Harry and Megan around, the press needs a villain or scandal. Andrew can keep them busy on that front but Edward being gay will be on the table. The palace would likely trade an Edward is gay reveal to bury another William cheating story.

Oh, its you again. I was wondering when you would bring up William's "cheating" and Edward's "gayness" again.

Hmm — could it be that both Edward and William are on the downlow and are both cheating with PP?

Why didn’t the Queen give it away after Prince Philip died?

+1. It might be too soon after Philip’s death.

The title automatically passed to Charles upon Philip's death, as his eldest son, now that the title has merged with the Crown, Charles can create the title again, and pass it on.

I don’t think he’ll give it to Edward. He doesn’t like Edward and it goes against his long standing position of slimming down the extra royals. Sophie was trying so hard to get close to the Queen in hopes that she would intervene. I’m guessing that this won’t sway Charles. I think he will not fill it and leave it for William to give to his second son instead.

I think they should fight for Royal positions. Like MMA style fights. They can wear their silly costumes.

My money is on Anne for all of it

Me too. She was Prince Philip's Alpha daughter.

Wasn’t she his only daughter?

Oh goodness, someone was not privately educated and knows nothing of Greek.

New Zealand’s next,even after the Kiwi soldiers did that moving Hakka for the Prince and Princess of Wales when they thanked the military for participating in the Queen’s funeral

On a business note, I rent houses to the Australian military and will jack up the rent when they leave the Commonwealth. They will have much more disposable income.

I saw Michael Sheen's video re the timing of Charles' visit to Wales and I agreed with him, it seemed tone deaf and colonialist:

Yes, that Australia. Those monarchist polls are crap - they were saying no one wanted Charles a week before the Queen's death and two days after - majority approval! Anything to shore up that dying institution.

Oh and here's the New Zealand PM saying its inevitable.

It sounds like she was educating her constituents, that the process would be drawn out and they stood to lose much by dissolving the treaties. Tiny countries like New Zealand gain more than they give by this alliance. If not Britain, they’ll need to find another benefactor and protector. Not sure what their options are honestly.

LOL The U.S. does more for the Australia and New Zealand alliance. Did you forget we sold Australia multi-millions in nuke submarines in 2021? Call me when Britain does anything but drain their tax dollars dry.

LOL, come again? You mean we forced them to break their contract with France but have zero chance of producing anything for decades? The US is stretched thin at home and across the globe, New Zealand is 150 on the priority list. Australia a tad higher.

Yes! I thought Michael Sheen was absolutely right here, I bet Charles just didn't think about the celebrations being cancelled at all. From the news article: Owain Glyndŵr day and the King's visit are "obviously connected" according to Sheen, who said: "Because of course to choose September 16 to come to Wales having only a short time ago proclaimed that he had created his son William as the new Prince of Wales and to choose this this day September 16 to come here as his first visit as King seems full of meaning." If it had been chosen deliberately, "it seems insensitive to the point of insulting," Sheen said before continuing: "If it was done without realising the significance of the date then one does wonder what being Prince of Wales for so long actually meant if you're not aware of what that day means."

Sheen was also in the news recently for a stirring speech he gave on TV for Wales' football team -- if you missed this earlier you're in for a treat: https://prosoccerwire.usatoday.com/2022/09/10/michael-sheen-wales-world-cup-speech/
