I’m Old, White, Male and English.

Please send your letters of complaint and dissatisfaction about the world to me - I seem to be responsible for everything.

@JohnPhilpin Oh dear. You appear to be having a Winer moment.

@JohnPhilpin blame the queen?

@hjertnes sure ... everyone else does ... but she’s female ... now had she abdicated and Charles had taken over .... 4 for 4 🤫

@simonwoods certainly not a ‘winning’ moment ... that’s for sure.

@JohnPhilpin then they have to deal with the weird conversation about skipping a generation

@hjertnes I will guarantee that there won’t be a generation skipped. Charles could choose to abdicate when the time comes ... and so it will continue ... but that isn’t weird .. Edward abdicated within a year, different times, different reasons .. but that at a stroke changed the order of the lineage. Charles’ abdication would not.

@JohnPhilpin imagine the outcome of WW2 if Edward was king

@hjertnes well at least we’d know ... rather than reading between the lines ;-)

That said giving up power for love is not very fascist like is it?

@hjertnes sorry ... you are absolutely right ... ‘power’.

@JohnPhilpin royals in democratic countries are weird
