King Charles III had no idea what cling film was and “shrieked” the first time he saw it, an author has claimed in an unauthorised biography which detailed a selection of interesting stories about our new monarch.
Author Tom Bower said he interviewed over 120 people for his biography of Charles, entitled ‘Rebel Prince’.
The book delves into Charles’s struggles to overcome unpopularity, and includes some pretty unexpected tales along the way.
Explaining how the royal reportedly had his first encounter with cling film, Bower wrote: “He walked into the dining room and shrieked. Fearing the worst, Camilla dashed in after him. ‘What’s this?’ asked her husband, pointing at the food.
“’It’s cling film, darling,’ she replied.”
Scrap the anachronistic monarchy and replace it with a President… the election might help to unite the country. The uk needs more politicians. What could possibly go wrong with electing a president? It’s not like it could destroy a country from the inside. That’s never happened.
Historically Monarchies have been far more damaging to human rights in general.

About as valuable as saying. More shit happened in the far past then recent past.
Democracy is a pretty recent experiment. And over the time it has grown. Some pretty evil shit has been done in its name. Comparing it to 1000s of rears in the past where few nations past of any power had other options. Is hardly cause and effect.
Nothing more then desperate point scoring on either side.

The point was to show why there aren’t many Monarchies anymore and the ones that are, usually amount to little more than a mascot.
Unfortunately fails when you look at timing.
The UK started democracy in 1690. When we cut the kings head off. Messed up the republic with religiose zealotry. And started our current constitutiomal Monarchy with a powerless monarch.
Slavery in Africa begun after that mainly started by the Spanish. But that British democracy did some of the most harm raising cities.
The finally ended it in 1838. But democratic America built entirly from it continued for nearly 40 years more.
The 2nd World War was started by democratic Germany. Along with the holocaust.
I’m sorry but no. Democracy was at no point a change in human morality. Humans were shit under all forms of management. Democracy was simply no worse.
