    The fact he met Charles as a child and lived long enough to see the same child be coronated as an old man at the age of 74 is mind blowing

      My first exposure to his nature documentaries was on the big screen and the big amphitheater lecture Hall in the biology building in my first year university biology animal biology course. I was mesmerized literally transfixed watching those shows he with his fkoppt messy hair coming from all corners of the globe in the most remote and most beautiful places on earth. I could not believe the photography. I couldn't understand how they could possibly capture these shots of these different species. To this day they still resonate with me. He is truly brilliant and truly amazing and still go on strong at what 97 something like that. God bless him. He is an inspiration

And to those who would protest against The King on this day of all days, for once just keep your opinions to yourself. No one really cares what you think or have to say.

      @@davidcobb464 What exactly is "a level of continuity which other countries lack" in a practical sense? What, practically, does it do? Because the only thing I can see is that it equips monarchists with something to say in defense of the monarchy which sounds vaguely profound but is actually meaningless.

      Honestly, the fact that a Nobel was handed to someone like Obama, a war monger, for doing precisely the opposite of what his award was for, but that this man has never received one for actually dedicating his life to worthy endeavors....it's absurd. And it makes that "prize" as meaningful as a Cracker Jack toy.

    We realized a while ago that without all the camera people who sit for hours on end to get the right setting before he turns up.
    It's the behind the scenes people that do the work while he gets the kudos.
