    The fact that people are still supporting monarchies in 2025 is absolutely goofy. They are outright leaches.

      I don’t support monarchs.

      But the UK monarch actually brings in more profit for the country through tourism than it costs to have the monarch.

      And if they ever use their theoretical power, there will be an uprising and we will set their palace on fire.

    The comments here please me. Glad we all agree this leech needs to fuck off.

    Of course the media paint a picture of this being a profoundly meaningful gesture. Get fucked

    Monarch from one country that says it has claim over another country, says that the second country has sovereignty? What?

        Canada is technically a “Constitutional Monarchy” which means ultimately it’s governed under King Charles the III. That’s the part I’m saying is fucked up. A King from one country (UK) has come to Canada (another country) to remind the US of Canada’s “sovereignty”. The monarchy shouldn’t even exist, let alone have claim over a completely independent country.
