THE UK has agreed that the perfect way for King Charles to honour his late mother would be to abdicate.
King Charles III, whose reign will be lucky if it sees a mere Silver Jubilee, is so manifestly in the shadow of perhaps the greatest monarch the country has ever known that it seems an appropriate gesture to step down now.
Royal expert Denys Finch Hatton said: “There is no shame in folding when one is holding a losing hand. Indeed, one can leave the table head held high.
“Technically Charles is King now, but there has yet to be a coronation. And need there be? Or can the former Prince of Wales be persuaded that Wales is about his limit?
“Like The Stone Roses post-John Squire, like The X-Files post-David Duchovny, like Manchester United post-Ferguson, sometimes it’s wiser to concede you’re no replacement for absolute perfection.
“None of us will hold it against you. We’ll admire you all the more for your courage and realism. At least William’s got time to grow into the role.”
He added: “And sir, if I can be so bold, you may take your Queen Consort with you.”
