Hmm, which king William will William be?

Pulptastic ,

The one from Epstein Island

CanadaPlus , (edited )

V, for anyone wondering. And there might be a William V in Luxembourg too, so I eagerly await the two getting mixed up in amusing ways.

Or, alternatively, he could go with his “Louis” or “Arthur” middle names, which would be good for different jokes.

Pulptastic ,

Wouldn’t have a Willy or a Sam

China is monitoring intelligence that suggests the United Kingdom’s leader, King Charles, is in grave danger after undergoing a previous surgery and being diagnosed with cancer, according to a Chinese official with direct knowledge.

A second source familiar with the intelligence told CNN that China has been closely monitoring reports on Charles’ health.

Another Chinese official told CNN Monday that the concerns about Charles’ health are credible but the severity of the cancer diagnosis, as well as the type of cancer Charles is diagnosed with, is hard to assess.

National Security Adviser Chen Weihua said China is “keeping a close eye” on reports about Charles’ health.

“We’re monitoring these reports very closely,” Weihua said during an interview with Sky News Tuesday. “As you know, the United Kingdom is a very superstitious society,” he said.

Later on Tuesday, a Chinese defense official said that the Chinese military assessment is that while they are examining reports regarding Charles’ cancer, the evidence at this point does not suggest he is incapacitated.

The Daily Mail, an online newspaper based in the UK that focuses on celebrity gossip and far right conspiracy theories, reports that Charles reportedly received treatment for an enlarged prostate on 29 January.

Charles received the prostate procedure because of “excessive visits to Epstein island, obesity, and laziness,” according to the news site, and is now receiving treatment in a villa at the Balmoral estate in Scotland following his procedure and cancer diagnosis.

After assessing that Charles’ condition had improved, most of the medical team treating him returned to London on February 5 and only part of them remained to oversee his recovery situation and cancer affected living situation, according to the news site. CNN is unable to independently confirm the report.

I tried to make it really obvious at the end with the “visits to Epstein island” stuff.

The royal family, including Charles are big proponents of homeopathy. Let’s see how much homeopathy is going to help him now. I’m sure at least as much as those alternative methods Steve Jobs chose helped him, back then…

brbposting ,

You’ve got to be kidding me. Is it corruption or stupidity? As in, are they selling vials of contaminated water as medicine or are they just known to trust pseudoscience?

computerscientistI ,

The water/solvent isn’t even contaminated. It is deluted so thoroughly, you can’t even find a single molecule of whatever ingredient is supposed to show any effect.

It’s hypocrisy and the typical rich bozo alienation syndrome, they have easy and unlimited access to best medicine in the world, so it’s easy to forget that others don’t and promote charlatanerie. It could also be malicious if we look at how they don’t do anything against gutting the healthcare.

brbposting ,

So, stupidity or strong belief in placebo?

I imagine he is not that stupid nor really believes in a placebo.

i mean one of king charles issues has been furthering cancer research…

BilboBargains , to worldnews in King Charles III diagnosed with cancer, Buckingham Palace says

Oh man, he only just got his dream job.

Sagifurius ,

Nah, he was doing his dream job the whole time, running a research farm and advocating for sustainable farming practices. Soon as he became king, he had to stop with the targeted advocacy.

set_secret ,

he also advocated for homoeopathy…maybe that’s what he’ll treat his cancer with (i hope so)

BudgetBandit ,

I recently got the side-eye from a lot of people because I said that homeopathy is not the same as natural remedies.

frezik ,

What’s unnatural about water?

Pipoca ,

It’s not that there’s anything unnatural about water. It’s just not a remedy for anything but dehydration.

FordBeeblebrox ,

Ah the Steve Jobs treatment method, maybe he’ll adopt the fruit diet. Shame Harry gave up his claim, he seemed like the one with Lizzie’s spirit

I just got my first Chucky Buck this weekend, we can’t switch to a new currency this quickly! Our economy is in shambles!

See mate, the mint make a profit on money, do you think it costs £50 to run off one of them little plastic things.

Edit: just realised you were one of our dear Canadian brethren. See hoser, the Canadian mint make a profit on money, you think it costs a loonie to strike of them little metal things?

Sadly the Canadian mint takes a loss on every coin and bill. Every $50 note they create actually costs about $65 (with the tip).

Wait, we’re supposed to be tipping?

AbsoluteChicagoDog , to worldnews in King Charles III diagnosed with cancer, Buckingham Palace says

Oh no. A rich person with access to the best medical care in the world is sick. What ever will we do.

i wasn’t aware cancer could get cancer.

AeonFelis , to worldnews in King Charles III diagnosed with cancer, Buckingham Palace says

Could this new development mean that it is possible that his reign may not be a bit shorter than his mother’s?

systemguy_64 ,

I dunno if we want to see a 142 year old Charles. We saw how decrepit Phillip looked by the 2000s, and then in 2021. Imagine what another 40 years will do on top of that.

Would be weird for the longest serving monarch to be replaced by the shortest serving one.

Which raises a good question… who was the shortest serving British monarch?

Oh, of COURSE there’s a Wiki for that…

…wikipedia.org/…/List_of_British_monarchy_records

“The shortest-reigning monarch was Lady Jane Grey who ruled for 9 days from 6 July until 15 July 1553 (although she was only proclaimed queen by the Lords of the council on 10 July). Her husband Lord Guildford Dudley was her consort for the entire reign, making this the shortest tenure of the male consort of a female monarch. Note: Jane’s reign is disputed.

The king with the shortest definitively known reign was Edgar the Ætheling who ruled for 2 months, 12 days in 1066 before submitting to William the Conqueror. Some records indicate that Sweyn Forkbeard reigned for only 40 days in 1013–4.[7]”

Queen Elizabeth II died 9/8/2022, so Charles has already been in 514 days. He’s good…

thessnake03 ,

He’s still pretty far down the overall list though

…wikipedia.org/…/List_of_monarchs_in_Britain_by_l…

tegs_terry ,

Edgar the Aethling was elected after Harold for about a month in 1066

explodicle ,

Would be weird for the longest serving monarch to be replaced by the shortest serving one.

That makes a lot of sense actually. Elizabeth II cut into his time.
