How can he even compare with previous Kings of England?

Richard the Lionheart - No!

Charles 1 - No!

Edward VIII - No!
.. so that'll be the choice between the gay one who spent a TOTAL of two weeks in his kingdom during his reign, the one who thought he was so divine that he could cure scrofula (The King's Evil) by touch, or the one with the small willy who was a mate of Adolf's!

Personally I'll settle for Charles III, George VII or King Phillip or Arthur (now there's a thought!), whichever of his names he cares to use.

Long may he reign - although of course it will probably not be very long anyway (if at all - HM is only 22 years older than HRH) - if his mum lasts as long as HER mum...

And just to chuck in another grenade, IIRC the RAF oath was to HM and her "heirs and assigns", so were she (or an heir) to assign the position of Head of State to El Presidente.........
