You mean the King that would never be according to you? You made the prediction of a week. Be prepared to eat your words. Must be hard for you to call him King Charles, something you couldn't fathom even happening. How many other times have you been wrong?
Never be? He's been heir since he was 13. Of course he was going to be King. I mean...there was a 50/50 chance he would die before his mother but that happens.
Now the question is will Charles manage to burn it all down? If you believe the rumors...quite possibly. And no I don't mind calling him King because I don't pay taxes for him.
Hmmm... I recall a lot of predictions that it would all end after the Queen died. This thread reads like a comedy of misinformation and fantasy. No wonder it's in the Entertainment forum.
I mean it already started. Or have you not noticed a string of disruptions and much more virulent disrespect by the public towards the royals since the Queen passed?
Camilla was booed. Kate was confronted. Andrew was heckled. This all in the last three weeks or so.
I'm sure the senior courtiers are shocked.
It wasn't going to all fall in 24 hours. Even the French Revolution took 5 years.
This is what happens when you're only source of news is Twitter.
You haven't heard? Twitter is the source of social revolutions these days. Its no longer broadsheets though I'm sure you wished we could go back to the 1920s when the commoners knew their place.
If only knew the people you claim to care so much about. You live in your little Twitterverse yet have no connection to any of these people and claim to know what they think and feel.

I doubt it will be fast, but I don't think young people view the monarchy with the kind of reverence that older generations do. Does anyone see William inspiring that kind of devotion? At some point a minor scandal may just be enough for parliament to wonder why they are supporting these people

Its more like 55% are “very favorable” but only 25% want it abolished, so quite a bit of ways to go. And this is nothing really new.
“The relative stability of the age gap reflects the fact that the older they become, the more likely people are to feel it is "very important" to have a monarchy. In 1994, only 22% of those born in the 1960s felt that it was "very important" to have a monarchy, ten points below 32% figure among the population as a whole.

Agree, the older you get the more conservative you get.
For example, where are all the hippies from the 60’s? They’re all living in The Villages (huge golfing community in Florida) and voting conservatively.
Not really. The boomers, yes. I think there’s evidence that X and the Millennials are staying as liberal as they are if not becoming more liberal. Kind of off topic to this, but it’s a GOP friendly lie.
In 1994 the Royal Family was a dumpster fire of tabloid behavior, whereas now the royal rota is very, very royal friendly (for now, I should say. Let’s see if some of the rumors are allowed to surface). So far there aren’t any big messy divorces, no one’s really talking about the royals’ shady finances (not even the suitcases of cash King Charles has received), Andrew’s rapes have been settled out of court… if things get messy again or if people really start to wonder why a smallish family has a dozen castles, most of which are publicly financed to some extent I don’t think so many people will find it so important to have a monarchy.
Do you have the faintest idea what needs to happen to make it go away?

Their counterparts in the UK were also similarly against the monarchy. But, look at them now.
