Keep dreaming, kids, and you too can be a hereditary monarch and head of state of 15 countries https://t.co/uYGuUC3Wvr

Dream big kids.

All you’ve got to do is be the eldest sibling of a certain multi-billionaire family (just don’t ask how those billions were accrued).

Inspirational. https://t.co/uqL9KP3CAa

Does this book imply Charles was dreaming about the death of his own mother since he was a kid? Monarchy is dark! https://t.co/wuwaep6Saj

I’d love this if it was written like the Very Hungry Caterpillar.
“Then he cheated on his wife but he still wasn’t king.”
“He tried issuing death threats against the corgis but he still wasn’t king.”
“Then the Queen died and he finally became king.”

They only way my son can be king is if he leads a coup d'etat. I somehow doubt that is the message in this book https://t.co/GUFAdEnFgh

I love this inspirational series for children.

Georgia O’Keeffe, Ada Lovelace, Jane Austen. And now King Charles III.

We all have the same 24 hours in a day. What is stopping you from becoming a king? https://t.co/zodXURAXym

Little people (hereditary monarch)
Big dreams (inheriting the monarchy) https://t.co/951Pm7CMUK

The implication here is that ever since he was a small child, Charles was dreaming about his mum dying so he could take her job

Bit bleak, if I'm honest https://t.co/jjcmgodoKN

Hey kids – If you work really, really hard at it and wish hard enough you too can be born with magic blood and become king. https://t.co/4mu6iu4iEo
