National Charles Day 2022
 |
It is observed each year to increase awareness of the name "Charles" and provides impetus to discuss famous persons named Charles.
The word is derived from the German Karl which means "man" in the context of maturity.
King Charles III of Great Britain came to my mind because of the recent passing of his mother Queen Elizabeth II and I made note over many years of his exquisite patience pursuing ascension to the throne.
We haven't seen eye to eye over the years, particularly when thoughts turn to his taste in company — and sometimes his comportment ...
Or at least deployed security in the presence of lax personal comportment.
I suppose everybody deserves "down time" ... even crown princes of the realm.
However, he is now the King of the British Empire and is due all the respect of a reigning monarch in the modern world.
God save The King.
