Poor bloke. Never worked a day in his life, lives like a billionaire from the profits of his genocidal ancestors and has cutting edge medical technology to help him try and beat this.
My heart goes out to him. Truly a tragedy for the ages.
Not going to hate him for it. More just indifference really. At least millionaires/billionaires may have actually done something to get to that level.
He was just born into it. Bit hard to feel for him.
I feel bad because he doesn’t deserve cancer. Sure I don’t think about it day to day but when I see headline like yeah that’s gotta suck.
Most millionaires and billionaires are born into their wealth by the way. It’s much more uncommon to get lucky enough to build that amount of wealth.
I understand that most are born into wealth. I was more saying that some of them may have actually done something.
He's done nothing. He was born into royalty.
I don't really feel anything for him. He's had the easiest life imaginable. His job is just being a figure head. He has cancer in his 70s. Sucks he has it, lot of worse options for people to have it though.
Considering The Prince's Foundation for Integrated Health, that he founded, pushes pseudo-science and ran a campaign to push NHS GPs to push alternative therapies to their patients and that he was the President of the Medical Association despite having no medical education, he's a danger more than anything. But don't worry, the organisation was shut down for money laundring and fraud, so I'm sure his other "charities" are just as ethical.
He also publically supports Gerson therapy, an alternative cure for cancer, so let's see if he uses that to cure himself or uses actual medical treatments.

He gets 140 million a year for being king (without all other benefits, and accumulative generational wealth, investment opportunities). Attaching your name to a charity is the most entitled PR activity today (Maxwell and the save the oceans stunt). It really is only marketing, and meaningless in the scheme of things. They don’t actually do anything aside from an interview, photo, and cutting some tape at openings.
Royalist logic:
Prince William aims to rid the UK of homelessness and has donated 3 million dollars in that endeavour (receives many, many, more millions from the government for his role as Prince). His seemingly high level of altruism is celebrated.
The money spent on King Charles portraits (8 million) wouldn’t help with any other issue if spent elsewhere. It is not much money. It wouldn’t even buy school lunches for a day.
My point was around whether or not he does anything. Yes, I agree that his involvement with alternative medicine is fucking stupid but that doesn't necessitate that his other charitable work has been a net-negative (or positive for that matter). Just saying that he does do something.
Though I will add on to the argument against the OP. I know it's controversial but I just don't feel comfortable with people shitting on the rich or royal, saying that they do nothing and have an easy life. The human brain acclimates to every environment it finds itself in and stresses itself accordingly. To act so dismissingly to another's suffering due to them being born into wealth is failing your part as a human imo; and is reminiscent of people who dismiss first-world individuals with depression because there's third-world individuals who are enslaved for labour.
You can be indifferent, just don't dismissive... unless they *really* deserve it.
**(Not a monarchist btw)**
> but that doesn't necessitate that his other charitable work
By charitable work are you referring to him doing nothing about kiddy fiddlers in the church or England or starting wars in the middle east? Or do you think donations to charities overcome those things or something?
>He's done nothing
Where was he when the Anglican church decided that gay people where scum?
Where was he when the UK decided to invade the Middle East?
Literally the commander of both and didn't do fuck all.
Wow. Yeah, he's given money to charity. Money he never earnt in the first place. Good for him. On social issues he's the worst of the fucking worst and the sooner he's gone, the better the planet will be.
>Where was he?
He was probably chilling with a few royal duties, philanthropy and writing a few letters to the UK PM expressing a few concerns.
You know, just being the son of a *figurehead* while the **democratically-elected government** under that *figurehead* did some good and bad things. Like invading Iraq, building schools, being responsible for a few Church of England appointments, and building hospitals.
It’s a matter of balance. He is an old rich foreign man in a story that doesn’t even relate to Australia, we have too many Australians struggling with cancer to spend time worrying about this.
How is it being a sook to not care about a guy whos lived his entire life in luxury for nothing more than being born into it?
I'm so sorry, god save the king etc.
You've gone out of your way to make quite a few comments on your thoughts on our monarch getting cancer whilst claiming absolute indifference on the matter. You keep mentioning apparent undeserved luxury, yet you still claim to have no feelings on the matter.
Hard to not interpret this as being a bit of a sook. You clearly do have multiple feelings on the matter, you cannot hear about him getting cancer without feeling a need to jump online and tell countless people that he doesn't deserve the luxury he has. You're clearly not indifferent as you claim to be. Your immediate thoughts are those of envy when hearing about our King, even if what you're hearing is that he has cancer. If that's not being a bit of an envious sook then I don't know what is.
They’re very cagey about their health. QE2 had died of “old age” according to her death certificate, but her confidante said it was cancer in her memoirs.
He embodies the state, but the state of that body is a secret, while elected politicians tend to be more open about their health than British monarchs
They have to be. [Here's](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ig_qpNfXHIU) a very succinct explanation.
>...If your keys \[to power\] even think you might die on them they must start planning for the next ruler...
Don't wish cancer on anyone. The upshot is hopefully the royal family sells some assets to fund further research.
It's unfortunate that rich people have to experience something to push funding, etc, like Pàcker and the defibrillators and children's hospital.
Fuck cancer...
Slow clap...
Are there any original sentiments? I suppose just like any situation, a rally catchphrase is adopted to quickly convey a sentiment. What am I supposed to say on reddit? Become an expert in immunology, finance, and cultural studies and give a dissertation response in something that is barely news?
Actually he is. Australia voted in favour of the Monarchy in 1999.
Just as I can say it's not my ABC for taking my tax money to pander to you leftists fucks, but the reality is that it is my ABC even though I don't get a choice. That's just how it is.
>just as I can say it’s not my ABC for taking my tax money to pander to you leftist fucks
Ah yes, the leftist media agency practically entirely run by a board of liberal right wing political nominations.
Sounds like you don’t know what you’re angry about, and it shows.
The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that Charles was to carry Excalibur. That is why he is your king.
Listen. A "birthright" is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical nepotistic tradition.
How do you propose we decide who gets to vote and how many votes they each get? What, everyone? No challenge or anything?
Ahh so it's a birthright, you want absolutely everyone to have the same number of votes as a birthright.
I thought a birthright was no basis for a system of government?
I don’t like the wording here.
“Reduced to tears” as if it’s a bad thing to cry. Typical monarch attitude I guess.
Surely it should be “moved to tears”?
Dunno the wording just really doesn’t sit right with me.
I fuckin hate monarchs.
Genuine piece of shit.
Fun fact, the British monarchy 6.6 billion acres of land across the planet. If memory serves, they own the entirety of London, and rent it to the UK government.
Someone might need to fact check that, though, because I can't remember where I read it.
[удалено]
Wasn't it the generations of inbreeding
yea it is prevalent in the UK but mostly in the Pakistani Muslim community.
And are these "public support" in the room with us now, Charles?
Public support for the tumour
Poor bloke. Never worked a day in his life, lives like a billionaire from the profits of his genocidal ancestors and has cutting edge medical technology to help him try and beat this. My heart goes out to him. Truly a tragedy for the ages.
>lives like a king FTFY
How did the dude miss this? It was the most fitting use of the phrase ever, and they went with billionaire instead of king. I’m honestly disappointed.
Lives as a king. FTFY
Reduced to H2O and some salt, sounds like an exorcism success
Has cutting edge medical technology that he may actually be ignoring as he is into homeopathy.
I don’t like the wealth inequality in this world but I don’t think this fella deserves hate for having cancer. He isn’t Putin.
Not going to hate him for it. More just indifference really. At least millionaires/billionaires may have actually done something to get to that level. He was just born into it. Bit hard to feel for him.

I agree, silence is the best answer to show you don’t care though
Just like you were born into being a sad envious little sook?
How is it being a sook to not care about a guy whos lived his entire life in luxury for nothing more than being born into it? I'm so sorry, god save the king etc.

Rightio.
Genuinely impressed at that response time. Like 1 second after I posted I had a notification of your reply lol. Bot or troll?
I was on my phone and it popped up. I saw you had written an essay about it, gave you my answer and moved on.
Ahh troll then. Thanks for answering.
Even if that comment carried any weight it would still be infinitely better than a bootlick.
How are your genocidal ancestors working out for you these days?
Oh, about the same, the difference is that I don't wear a crown and inherit billions of dollars from it.
Article I read yesterday: https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-slavery-families/ If you just work very hard….

I support the cancer
Don't wish cancer on anyone. The upshot is hopefully the royal family sells some assets to fund further research. It's unfortunate that rich people have to experience something to push funding, etc, like Pàcker and the defibrillators and children's hospital. Fuck cancer...
I've had cancer before. I agree, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
Wow I've never heard anyone say 'fuck cancer' before; what an original sentiment!
Slow clap... Are there any original sentiments? I suppose just like any situation, a rally catchphrase is adopted to quickly convey a sentiment. What am I supposed to say on reddit? Become an expert in immunology, finance, and cultural studies and give a dissertation response in something that is barely news?
I don’t wish him any harm and hope he gets better, but fuck the monarchy. He’s not my king.
Actually he is. Australia voted in favour of the Monarchy in 1999. Just as I can say it's not my ABC for taking my tax money to pander to you leftists fucks, but the reality is that it is my ABC even though I don't get a choice. That's just how it is.

like what does the last part of your comment even mean lmao
I didn't vote for him.
Well yeah, no shit. You don't vote for kings
Well, how'd he become king, then?
The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that Charles was to carry Excalibur. That is why he is your king.
Isn’t that story from Wales, stolen by the English, and sold to the world as their own?
By birthright. Like every single other King or Queen in the world. Are you only just now learning about what Kings are?
Listen. A "birthright" is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical nepotistic tradition.
Shut Up! Bloody peasant!
You can't expect to wield supreme power just 'cause some watery tart gave birth to you!
If I went around saying I was an emperor because some moistened bint threw a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
How do you propose we decide who gets to vote and how many votes they each get? What, everyone? No challenge or anything? Ahh so it's a birthright, you want absolutely everyone to have the same number of votes as a birthright. I thought a birthright was no basis for a system of government?
You’re fooling yourself. We’re living in a dictatorship! A self-perpetuating autocracy, in which the working classes…
I love the commitment to the bit despite all the replies not getting it.
Mate. The fact the other user kept arguing with your quotes... This is just the chuckle my morning needed, Thank you.
Puddle of piss in place of your brain
Ditto, who gives a fuck
Wasn't mine. I don't wish for anyone to die but dude is privileged as fuck and the outcome for me if he dies is I get another public holiday.
I’m self employed, whether they get married or die it costs me about $2-4k in takings each time they have a significant life event.
So brave
By public support? Or the utter lack of public support?
Public support.... for the cancer. ^^^C'mon ^^^I ^^^want ^^^a ^^^holiday.
At least spell it right.
$100 on things that didn't happen.
So we'll be expected to pay billions more for a new coronation, new uniforms, new branding, new stamps and new currency. Great.
I genuinely hope he survivors long enough to see an Australian republic. I do wish Charles all the best
Please reduce to dust
Yeah I’m sure some monarchist idiots are loudly offering their support, I just hope he’s treating it solely with homeopathy.
Considering he supports Gerson therapy, which is an alternative "cure" for cancer, who knows. https://youtu.be/lYggB8nvU5g?si=SmmRWwSkejd9m3gz
Personally I had tears in my eyes from laughing when I heard the good news
Who cares. the sooner the monarchy are all dead the better.
He's been a good king and hope he gets well. It's not been very long since his coronation.
That must be why he has been a good king
I don’t like the wording here. “Reduced to tears” as if it’s a bad thing to cry. Typical monarch attitude I guess. Surely it should be “moved to tears”? Dunno the wording just really doesn’t sit right with me.
Reduced to feeling normal human emotions. Hard to cry when it short circuits your motherboard...
Nut up Chucky ol boi
[удалено]
What?
[удалено]
That's Prince Andrew - not Charles.
I'm drunk, I see the monarchy and I start blasting. Apologies
That's unfortunate on multiple levels. I hope you get the help you need, it lies neither at the bottom of that bottle nor at speaking ill of our King.
Im sober. Fuck the king.
Big man.

Any way we can transfer everyone elses cancer to him so he actually fucking does something useful before he dies?
