It’s coronation time. On Saturday, May 6th, England will officially crown Charles III. As a nation that rebelled against royalty, we are also fascinated by its pomp and circumstance, and its bitterness and scandal. Prince Harry.
Live: Coronation of Charles III
No matter how much we hate other royals, or have an ax to the new king, our own wannabe princess binds us all together. As Seeger once asked. I spent decades as a devoted basher to Prince Charles. But comparing him to Markle, I’m ready to restore the king’s divine rights.
I have good reasons and so do you.
Markle emerged onto the monarchy scene just a few years ago, sweeping the royal family like Daenerys Targaryen in “Game of Thrones.” (She doesn’t have a dragon. She doesn’t have to be a lady.)
Markle spent years in Hollywood before marrying a prince, notably on the TV show Suits. While this has officially elevated her to the Duchess of Sussex, she has discovered that being royal is a life of service, which is why staff, directors, media and fans are like her one of the hungry dragons. Quite the opposite of living in Tinseltown feeding your narcissism as if it were.
The Love Story of King Charles and Camilla: How she went from mistress to queen
nothing was enough. Markle went from being second-to-third-row royalty on television, which infuriated her. She whined that royalty was racist and had the audacity to ignore advice from Queen Elizabeth about learning how to be royalty. , became a constant thorn in the side of the Queen and her family.
Each time a crisis subsided, the couple created another one. Like, for example, when she unleashed a Netflix documentary about supposed hardships. . (Queens are not to be taken lightly. Clearly, Markle has never played chess where a queen can easily sweep an opponent off the board.)
Harry released an autobiography called “Spare,” which was like a strike against the royal family they didn’t like. Markle and “Spare” were part of a media deluge that turned fans against them. I was ridiculed for participating.
The couple are very unpopular in places where they are both royalty. But perhaps because of their weeks away from the news and her decision to avoid the coronation, their support is skyrocketing here. Despite the increase, 33% of respondents view Markle positively and 39% view her unfavorably.
ah.
With her royal endeavors unsuccessful, Markle turned to those who treat her like royalty: the Left Bank. She signed a deal with a high-profile agent designed to make her a “power player” and “Queen of Hollywood.”
Now let’s compare everything with the new king. When Queen Elizabeth died, I figured that Prince Charles’ accession to the throne would make me covet King Ralph.
Like most Americans, I didn’t hate Charles to begin with. He did his duty in the Royal Navy and I respected that. He got international attention when he married Princess Diana.
No couple has thought of all of us more than Prince Charles and Princess Diana. Their courtship and wedding in 1981 was a world affair, and America loved the young couple as much as their cheerful old British compatriots.
Our love for their “storybook” marriage, which the press constantly called out, was reinforced when they visited America in 1989.
However, the story has a final chapter, which ended badly. Then both he and Diana cheated. their marriage fell apart. She then died tragically and was memorialized in a rewritten version of “Candle in the Wind” by Sir Elton John.
Charles stayed in the news. People have been making fun of his apocalyptic climate comments for years. In March 2009, he warned that “he has only 100 months to act” on climate change. That was about 170 months ago. In July 2019, he lowered his target to his 18 months, arguing that “his next 18 months will determine our ability to sustain climate change at viable levels.” . That was 45 months ago.
That is why he is not good at mathematics. At least he’s good at architecture. The new king was an ardent defender of traditional buildings and towns, which helped create the very beautiful town of Poundbury. attacking modern architecture and emphasizing alternatives based on classical forms.

Modern architecture spoils the landscape most of the time. So he got it right.
To be fair, he was destined to play a royal villain for the rest of his time after a terrible breakup with his beloved Princess Diana. It’s a familiar Hollywood plot. The first villain we meet in The Wizard of Oz is the Wicked Witch of the East. Just like in the movies, the Wicked Witch of the West takes over.

In the real world, that’s where Markle came from. Every time bitter Hollywood Haridan appears in the news, I like Charles III more and more.
God save the king!
