    I was hoping Charlie would choose the name King Ralph as a homage to the 1991 John Goodman film of the same name.

    Never understood Americans' fascination with the Royals, but as I'm not Irish, I have nothing against QEII personally.

    Like most in the U.S., I had never heard of Liz Truss until she became PM. Not exactly a backbencher, but not one of the prominent U.K. politicians we heard in the news either.

    The new King is my 14th cousin. Which makes me something like 32,784th in the line of succession.

    From the Times in London: King Charles was the longest-serving heir apparent in British history, having been first in line to the throne since he was 3 years old.

    In Game of Thrones, he probably would have killed his mom and taken over decades ago or seen his aunt and uncle humping and gotten thrown off a tower as a child.
