Watching the British have a massively obsequious sentimental, mawkish self-congratulatory orgasm over the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha..........oops; did I write the name that shall not be mentioned? I'm sorry, I meant the House of Windsor, is really the limit.
But as many people have pointed out, the majority of the British are generally supportive of the institution of monarchy, and very supportive of this particular monarch.
It'll be interesting to see what happens when Charles becomes the reigning sovereign. Of course, there's speculation that he may be King for a day or so and then abdicate in favor of his son Prince William, but who knows?
I wonder if the British will still be so enamored of their Royalty then?
