“The trouble with monarchy, however, is that, by definition, no one can stop the Prince from becoming King Charles III, because the British are not allowed to vote for their head of state. Charles Windsor constantly interferes in politics and promotes every variety of reactionary superstition and new-age quackery. He sounded like the leader of a messianic cult when he announced in a recent book, “I would be failing in my duty to future generations and to the Earth itself if I did not attempt to … indicate possible ways we can heal the world.” Yet whatever his personal failings, he will be King because he was born to the right mother.”

He will however sidestep the historic resonances of Kings Called Charles by taking the regnal name of George VII
George II I was also something of a dabbler in health and other issues by the way . For example he prefered brown bread to white bread and was mocked for so doing.
