The Monarchy Mess

 I anticipate that most people who visit this blog will start from the viewpoint that Mr. Charles Mountbatten-Windsor is lawfully "King Charles III" and that it's "obvious" that he is King.

See Accession Council and Principal Proclamation   The implicit claim that Mr. Charles Mountbatten-Windsor had "automatically" become King immediately on the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Mountbatten-Windsor was made explicit on 10th September 2022. See The Accession Council and Principal Proclamation The Accession Council took place on 10th September 2022.
