King Charles the Third sounds odd, even with the plummy BBC voices

2. King Charles 3 is odd. He has been for a very long time.

[Srkdqltr]

3. His wife is even more odd.

[Glorfindel]

5. She is, isn't she?

Poor old thing. She never seems to be quite aware of what's going on.

[Srkdqltr]

12. She was playing the long game. She held on all those years. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Wicked Blue]

22. Her hats remind me of gussied up

toilet seats

[Glorfindel]

4. After 70 years, anything other than

"Queen Elizabeth the Second" would sound odd. But at least it's not horrifying like "President Donald Trump." Nothing will ever sound odder than that!

8. You win the internet today!

9. Nigel Nunes with his deep BBC voice saying

"The American president tweeted..." Got me up at too many 3ams saying "What did he do now" (several variations with profanity we're also possible)

17. FOR SURE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[treestar]

21. +1

[Wicked Blue]

23. King Donald Trump the First?

Or maybe King Donald Chickenheart

[MerryHolidays]

7. They will call him something like C3 (c)

There, I've copyrighted it!

C3 has done a huge amount of positive things like his very early and passionate stance/work on climate issues and The Prince's Trust: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prince's_Trust

I guess he's weird because he's done so much to help people?

[irisblue]

11. Brilliant!

[tblue37]

16. C3PO.

[MerryHolidays]

19. That will be said when he is angry about something!

[tblue37]

20. Good one!

[Wicked Blue]

24. Beat me to it!

[muriel_volestrangler]

30. Ooh - I want that on the postboxes

"PO"="Post Office". And they do need a new insignia for them.

[secondwind]

18. Well said.... bravo

[EYESORE 9001]

10. 'Third' is easily mispronounced

Especially by those who tend to drop their aitches.

13. King Charles

I hope he has better luck than Charles I did!

[irisblue]

15. I wrote my senior thesis on James 6/1 and how his failure to understand England led to his sons'

Charles the First execution.
It was a niche area of study.I did get a B

14. Bonnie King Charlie?

A modification of the princely version. Seems to roll off the tongue OK!

[Wicked Blue]

25. Try Balmy Prince Charlie nt

[SheilaAnn]

26. I was about 8 years old when King Charles III was born and remember the press referring to him as

Bonnie Prince Charles. LOL.

[Zambero]

27. I was born two months after Charles and also recall hearing that characterization

even some years later.

[speak easy]

28. That was until

'I talk to the trees, but they don't listen to me'.

[Zambero]

29. I talk to the wind...

My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear

-King Crimson, 1969

At some point after the TREES didn't listen!
