I see Charlie naming himself "King Charles III" as a huge missed opportunity.

I recall that years ago Charlie half jokingly entertained another name for a short time.

That was "KING ARTHUR" on account of Charlie's real name "Charles Philip Arthur George" *

The mythological** King Arthur, notionally lived somewhere in modern day Wales, with his Court of Camelot, complete with his Knights of the Round Table. This would:

- have transmogrified the very shape of Monarchy as we know it.

- made excellent journo copy for decades.

- have placed King Arthur in the fine tradition of JFK's "Court of Camelot".

And would have entertained little kiddies.

** http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Arthur

Oh well, Charlie it is :(

Hi Maverick,

Thank you for your kind words.

"It's always marvellous to have somebody who you know,
you feel understands and wants to encourage."
(the previous Prince Charles).

It is well established historically that there was a real King Arthur, just as there is a very real King Charles III, the most powerful man in Great Britain.

Hi Foxy,

I've had my fill of the death of Mrs Windsor for now, missed the program purposely. Although I did enjoy the victory by the Bunnies over the Roosters, on Ch9, and they live to fight another day.

Hi Issy,

You speak of "consequences" for the footy gal, will there be a rush of beheading's anytime soon?

I see Jamaica is the first country post QE2 to blaspheme and speak REPUBLIC! Others may follow one by one.
