The timing of this storie’s re-run could not have been better as it’s just far enough from the queens death to not be in poor taste, and directly covers the buisness of succession. Also hilarious given that William seems to be a nice enough guy. Maybe Kate mellowed him out from his love of pillaging. Whose to say?
William is correct. That’s what kings do. In this day and age, they are forbidden from doing that. That stuff is now reserved for Parliment (or Congress).
It is said that when Elizabeth and her sister Ann were quite little, the Royals were out and about doing what they do, and little Ann became fussy. Someone minding the children intervened, and the little girl whined that she was “tired”. Queen Mary, a formidable presence under any circumstances, brought Ann up short and said, “My Lady, you are a member of the British Royal Family. You love visiting hospitals and openings schools. And. you. are. never. tired.”
This is the British monarchy in a nutshell. The royal family has two functions – engage in purely ceremonial (i.e., just for show) activities, and provide tabloid fodder for those who choose to live vicariously through celebrities rather than making the most of their own lives.

There is no King of England! Charles is King of the UK, as William will be someday.

They had the option to skip right over “Gnarly Charlie” and go straight to William, but alas, no….
