Even though he’s a bad human being he is a lot more qualified than William as much as you dislike him he does have some good beliefs for example he stands with religion like Islam and supports it therefore he may do some good in the world. William isn’t as trained but his time will come too so chill.
There are laws around these things - the most important being the 1701 Act of Settlement, which states that the monarch’s heir must be the monarch’s direct successor. There’s no chance that William can leap frog over his father to the crown. William is still in training. Charles has years of maturity and experience in living. He’s been trained to be King for 70yr. Let him do his duty.
During King George VI's reign (Queen Elizabeth II's father) was 3 minutes long. When Elizabeth became the monarch she shorten it to 1 minute now Charles just changed the words "queen" to "king" and "her" to "him". And Paganini even created a 7 minute long instrumental version.
Bro last night I had a dream where I took King Charles to go grocery shopping and my feet got frostbite in the freezer where he was looking for alcohol

The monarchy is the thread that ties it all together. 153 nations. God Save the King.

He is both French and italian
It was originally written in French for Louis the 14th, it was then translated to English and set to a slightly different tune for George.
I had heard that it was written by a mistress of the French king in honor of a Jacobite pretender who was planning a war against the UK to claim the throne.
Imagine while singing someone accidentally says
"God save our gracious queen"
I wouldn't want to imagine that person's future 😳

They arent powerful. All they do is bring in the tourists

God save us all
Finally someone said England and not Britain…bout time England left the British to be tyrants somewhere else
"God save the Prime Minisisters of 2024"

The same melody was also used for the Swiss (up until 1961) and German (until 1918) national anthems. I have no idea who wrote it though.
