"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!

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?
