"King Charles III makes homeopathy mandatory in the UK and mandates that its citizens only eat Organic food"
He is rife with Pseudoscience garbage too.
I have an idea. Explain to Charles that if he repeatedly dunks him self in Water and then goes away he becomes more powerful. The less people see him the more powerful he becomes.
We went to Scotland in 2019. From Aberdeen we looked at a map, and decided we wanted to check out the Highlands, but didn't have a bunch of time to research. So we saw a castle on the map, and figured we'd go there and ask around about what to do. That castle turned out to be Balmoral.
So we are driving up a windy road, and end up noticing traffic getting thick. To the right on a hill is a church with people all around, so our assumption was a wedding. The GPS says we are close to the castle. Then we get turned to a grass field to park, and at this point, well, close enough. We'll walk to the castle. So we park ,walk up a road, and it's lined with people. So finally we ask someone "what is going on here?"
"The Royal family is making their way from Balmoral to the Church for Sunday service!" Ah ha! Should be by in 20 minutes, we are told. Well, in that case, we stick around. So I find a nice spot, and we sit tight. Sure enough, they roll on by.
The future king?
Or maybe this one!
Anyway, it was pretty cool to just stumble into them. Later that day we were up at Glenshee Ski hill to do some hiking, and were told Prince Philip was up there hiking. At one point in the distance I spotted his Land Rover. It's a gorgeous area, if you can get there!
When we got to our Air BnB (which turned out to be a shed in a Scotish guy's back yard) I showed him the picture. "Are you ####ing kidding me? I've lived here all my life, never seen the Queen! You're here 5 minutes and she just pops up in front of you???"

My cash is still good, right? Have a couple of 20s in my wallet...
As others have already stated, they are now obsolete. However, I would like to buy up as many as I can find for sentimental reasons. I'll e-transfer you $5 upon receipt if you want.

My wife and I have stayed in the Royal Suite in the Hotel McDonald in Edmonton where the queen stayed during the Commonwealth Games. We didn’t book it but were upgraded.
i guess charles is now officially the king. We'll see if he takes the crown or steps aside for william.
If he does take the crown, we'll also need to see what regnal name he choses. As i understand it, he can use any of his given names: Charles, philip, arthur, or george.
King arthur would be interesting, but unlikely.
I don't know if philip ii of spain, husband of queen mary i counts as having been king of england. Otherwise, there has not been a king philip in england/the uk. He could choose that to honour his father.
I believe charles is considered a bit of a cursed regnal name, which is why many expect him to not choose that. Although, i think many said the same about elizabeth at one time.
George was the name his grandfather chose and seems the most-likely candidate if he doesn't use his given name.
The Quest stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray but a little, and it will fail, to the ruin of all. Yet hope remains while the Company is true. Go Flames Go!
My only up close experience with royal family is when I lived in Winnipeg and Prince Charles came to town. We were bored and went to check out the hullabaloo and when Prince Charles was within ear shot, the guy next to me told him he had weird hair. Prince Charles looked right at him after he said it and gave him a "how dare you" look.

This guy's telling the truth.

It makes sense that he'd choose to stick with Charles. It would be weird to be almost 74 years old and have people start calling you by a different name.
