King Charles Iii Quotes

“Elizabeth II was the best known child in the world when she was BORN.
She became the greatest monarch of all times, LATER ON.
She will be remembered as the most wonderful queen on the THRONE.”
― Mouloud Benzadi

“The Lion of Albion by Stewart Stafford

Bell tolls on the second age of Elizabeth,
As another reign of Charles commences,
The Lion of Albion monitors its domain,
With the steadying mending of fences.

Acceding to the throne, León Coronado,
History's weight on verisimilar shoulders,
As the matriarch reflects in absentia,
Crown jewel of memory to beholders.

Over moor, loch, valley and causeway,
Rises the realm of Charles Rex III,
Phoenix feathers of noblesse oblige,
For the Brexit nesting of a dove bird.

“When a philandering ass is declared head of state, and the other woman sleeps her way to the throne, it's not a moment of national pride, it's an outlandish declaration of national pestilence.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavictor: Kanima Akiyor Kainat

“The King has lived a full life out in the public as an outspoken environmental activist, an occasional meddler in politics, a successful businessman, a flawed father, and a philandering husband who destroyed the life of Princess Diana.”

“Everyone already knows that King Charles might have preferred a life as Queen Camilla's tampon.”

“A stubborn eccentric who has spent most of his life waiting and planning for his ascension, even at the cost of his relationships with his own sons, the former Prince of Wales is not only far less popular than his predecessor and his successor, he has also been a thorn in the side of the institution. Despite the fact he’s well-liked by world leaders and global power figures, during the life of his mother, he was never fully embraced by power brokers within the system, the Palace operators and partisans with links to the British establishment, including the government. When he was Prince of Wales, some senior Buckingham Palace aides had expressed to me and others that they felt the then next in line didn’t quite have the moxie or vision for the family’s next chapter. Perhaps they were right.”

“Jealous of Harry’s popularity with the media and William’s preferred status in the Firm, King Charles has been known to turn a blind eye while aides leak details about his sons to the press. Camilla, also guilty of the same practices, caused further damage to the family during her long-running campaign to rehabilitate her own image. A tactical masterstroke, a well-timed leak, can pave the way for a beneficial back-scratching relationship with media confidantes in exchange for favorable treatment while also cutting down competition for the spotlight a rung or two. Long before the release of Spare, it was well known within the tight circle of royal correspondents that Charles eagerly piggybacked on reports of Prince Harry’s teenage drug use by allowing the leak of personal details about his own son to construct a “great dad” narrative that many within the press gladly printed in return.”

“He's a very charming person - very warm and very friendly...I admire the way he interacts with people. That, to me, speaks to the measure of our King.”
