I was reading statements from our current and former presidents, all of them very presidential and sincere.
Even the last guy gave a presidential statement, clearly he did not write it himself.
Too bad he couldn’t and still can’t behave like a president unless someone is doing it for him.

I believe he has now officially chosen to be Charles III. Interestingly, he’s the first King Charles of England since the 1600s, and his mother was the first Queen Elizabeth since the 1600s. If Prince William becomes King some day (I wish he wouldn’t, I think they should retire the monarchy) he will be the first William since Victoria’s uncle, assuming he keeps his name, which now seems to be the new tradition.

I remember how she did a lot of out reach to the diaspora during her tenure… Don’t know much about what she did domestically, though.
They were big, but they did not colonize the entire planet… there are plenty of other monarchies even today.

Reportedly, she didn’t want any to outlive her and end up foisted on someone else. She deliberately stopped acquiring new ones, and let her existing dogs live out their lives.
