King Me, Chequers!

All things King Charles. (And modern monarchy in general.)

King’s staff to be buried with Queen.

This is the guy who wanted his shoe laces ironed, so I'm not surprised.

I suspected right away that the article was about metaphorically Qin Shi Huang-ing Her Majesty's domestic staff, but the unintentional wang reference was still funny.

Oh, duh. I only read the title and assumed it had actually meant that something like this was to be buried with the Queen:

...so I thought I was being clever by interpreting it as his assistants.

I’ve very much enjoyed people getting upset that there’s a separate fast line for MPs, Lords and their guests to see the queen lying-in-state — as being “deeply unfair” and treating “some people as better than others” — while waiting to view… a “queen.”

Some wag pointed out that The Queue could take the name of the newest rail line in London, the Elizabeth Line.

So , Liz Truss seems to have stopped King Charles going to the next COP Global Climate Summit and giving a speech. Equally the king appears to have authorised the leaking of this. It ain’t going to be like it was with mummy.

Against my own will and all previous judgements, I admit to himself: I like this King.

He's said he wants to slim down the monarchy, and I'm interested in seeing where he goes with that.
