They cancelled all the football in the UK on Saturday. That alone gave Charles the Third a bad start in public opinion.

They also saddled him with an unpopular name : the first was executed; the second teed up the Glorious Revolution which curtailed royal power.

So the king-in-waiting got his revenge on the world by naming his sons William (II being that Orange fellow) and Henry (the ninth?)

It is rightly acknowledged that people of faith have no monopoly of virtue - Queen Elizabeth II

I thought that the third was Charles Edward Stuart.
