I hate them all, but it would be delicious if he never got to be king.

So I guess he skipped the part in biology where they discussed that the sperm determines the gender of the child? And he’s a certain kind of asshole to complain about a child to the person who just birthed that child.  Geez.

Yes! The best characters IMO aren’t the most likable ones, but complicated, multi-layered messes. I think the actor who plays Charles is fantastic, and nails so many of his micro mannerisms it’s eerie. I read that the body movement coach for The Crown assigned each actor a specific animal to study, and the actor…

“Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.”

One of the things they don’t tell you about getting older is that you come to realize you are probably the villain in at least a few people’s stories, which in turn makes you reexamine your judgement about others. I’d like to think Charles, anyone, all of us, work with what we’re given, fuck up, and proceed from…

Charles famously told Diana that he didn’t intend to be the only Prince of Wales in centuries not to have mistresses.  That’s the point at which I would have told him to get stuffed and filed for divorce.

He’s the real villain. Camilla and Diana aren’t perfect, sure, but Charles caused all of this with his giant man-baby-ness. 

God knows, I am Team Diana and always have been—but at this point, Charles and Camilla are together, they’re happy, they were clearly meant to be together and most importantly, the boys seem to be fine with it. If they still resented her it would be different but from everything I’ve read, that isn’t the case. (I will …

One of my post-S4 thoughts was “I wonder if Camilla has noted that while Edward wanted Wallis enough to abdicate, Charles apparently did not want Camilla that bad.”

The show has the benefit of hindsight, now. I remember the wedding, when I was a kid, and it did all seem so romantic and lovely - from America. Pre-internet. News was different then.

Right after I finished this season of The Crown Netflix suggested I watch “Diana: In her own words”. It was honestly sad. He was such an ass. From the “Whatever love means” quip to the very end. Grade A entitled straight cis white man. He agreed to marry her, in part because she was innocent and naive, and then he…

As dumb as it is for people to take a fictional show so seriously, his infidelity is not fiction, and he dragged a literal teenager into his mess when he was 32. So, limited sympathy there. I also think it’s healthy for him to experience a small fraction of the rage that his son and Meghan faced from online bullies…

“This is something to be celebrated as a Christian.”

And nudniks.

I love Yiddish...although I have to confess, I did have to Google “schmendricks” and “schmekels”. But am so glad I did.

They’re putzes, schmendricks (esp Jared), schmekels, schmucks, shlemiels, fercockt, khazers, and I don’t like them, either.

L’hitraot, you entitled, narcissistic, worthless cretins. Don’t let the door hit you in the tuchus on the way out.

I am intrigued by this ‘patty melt casserole.’ Can you elaborate?
