If you stomached the ludicrous notion of President Donald Trump, Queen Camilla shouldn't be too much of a stretch.

Point taken.

Of course then there is the legacy to factor in.

I still find these photos incredibly upsetting, the Queen two days before she died. Was she ill at the time but forced herself to perform her public duty?

A sweet, little old lady, rather frail looking but a lovely smile. Note the bruise on her hand, you can get that if a drip is attached apparently.   

That's what I though the bruise came from.  I think Her Majesty's devotion to duty and her determination to complete the task of the day is how she got through the meeting with Liz Truss.

Yes it sure looks like a bruise caused by an IV. My wife had them in both hands for two weeks after her last hospital stay.  

Liz Truss was anti Royal before she switched sides and turned Conservative. Don't know if I true her fully.

She is a noted flip-flopper on many issues.

True and that's why I don't trust her.

Her new Chancellor of  the Exchequer is setting out an emergency budget today. There will be tax cuts which will prove popular even though some economists say tax cuts are not the right thing to do just yet.

Economists? If you put twenty of them in a room you'll get twenty different viewpoints.

I've had my fair share of drips and the back of your hand is the worse place to have one, especially the older you get or the less veiny you are. I always ended up bruised and I once had this German student doctor who thought I was a dartboard he pricked me that many times and in the end I fecked him off.

It has been officially announced that cause of death was "old age" and she died at 1510 BST 8 September. The news wasn't made public until 1830, but thinking back the news reports hours before that were hinting that the news was bad but couldn't say so officially.

Au Contraire, The Guardian lists the official cause of death as "Meghan Markle's podcast" which of course is far too gushy for British "muggle ears." And the controversy rages on.

The new design of the Charles III coins has been released, the first should be in circulation by the end of the year.

In accordance with custom he looks to the left the opposite of the Queen, each new monarch faces the opposite way to their predecessor, although with typical contrariness Edward VIII chose to face left as his father George V had done, however very few Edward VIII coins ever entered circulation. 

Also on the new coins he's named as Charles III rather than the Latin Carolus which is/was tradition. Queen Elizabeth remained as "Elizabeth" as her name does not translate into Latin. George V and VI were Georgius, Edward VII and VIII were Edwardus.

I love the old traditions. Carry on with them. 

It's a sign of the modern age in which few will realize that Carolus means Charles.

I dare say few people here know the meaning of e pluribus unum which is inscribed on all our money.

Add me to that list. 

King Charles' coronation will be on Saturday 6 May, Camilla will be crowned alongside him. It'll be a slimmed down affair, which is a shame, I want the full grandeur of a proper full ceremony. 

The last "cheap" coronation was that of William IV in 1831.

Economic concerns is the reason given now, what were the reasons for William IV in 1831?

He disliked too much pomp and ceremony and at 65 he wanted a quieter coronation. He was also aware of the huge expense and controversy of his deceased brother's coronation in 1821.
