  1. It must be bittersweet that his reign may end up as one of the shortest.

  2. I’m going to be honest here. I really do not know much about the ins and outs of how the British government works. But at age 49. I remember hearing about what I remember as “Prince Charles” and Queen Diana. And all the Enquiror stuff around it. Seems a long time ago but doesn’t at the same time. Life truly does happen in a blink of an eye.

  5. Ngl, feel kind of sad about this. He’s a much better man than what his public image is.

  6. We all know we are going to die, but this seems very in your face.

  7. They prepared for Queen Elizabeth’s death for like 60 years before she died just saying.

  9. I saw somewhere that he has pancreatic cancer, even with the best treatment there is a high mortality rate so it makes sense to update plans every couple of months

  12. I don’t trust anything from the court after the Kate debacle. He’ll probably carry on for another ten years easy.

  14. How much of your taxpayer dollars are they going to spend on the anointing of the next guy? 

  15. As expected. Its well known during QEII reign that her plans were updated almost every year. Even if he didn’t have some form of cancer, they’d still be doing it.

  16. I mean no shit? The dude is 75. My grandparents all had their funeral plans ready by that age.

  17. The article seems to use “prognosis” for “diagnosis”.

    It’s an interesting contrast to the US, for example where politicians and retired presidents openly share health updates. The world knows about Jimmy Carter’s health, and knew about Reagan’s alzheimers, we knew when Bill Clinton had heart surgery. Sitting US presidents disclose when they have colonoscopies even.

    OTOH British monarchs seem rather coy. Queen Elizabeth’s death, Charles’ ambiguous “form of cancer” seems to be from a different era.

  21. At the risk of sounding crass, is the headline meant to suggest that his funeral plans weren’t already regularly updates? I just assumed that something like that has a permanent staff that’s constantly adjusting plans.

  22. Why do people still care about the royal family. It’s 2024. It’s not even the same bloodline as the kings and queens from back in the day.

  23. So, it’s yes for spending 1000’s of billions on wars (2 active right now) instead of the new biotechnology of curing diseases and cancer ( see [www.reddit.com/r/longevity](http://www.reddit.com/r/longevity) and [www.SENS.org](http://www.SENS.org) and [www.fightaging.org](http://www.fightaging.org) and any videos of Aubrey de Grey and Sinclair on aging. So all you young people out there should rise up and kick the very stupid people who run the universe out their in their very stubborn and i asses and say (no to all wars) and stop funding wa and the military industrial complexes

  24. I learned from The Crown that the royals have funeral plans that are named after bridges. The Queen Mum was Tay Bridge, Elizabeth was London Bridge and Charles is Menai Bridge. What I don’t know is, does the designation change as they rise in rank. Is Charles London Bridge now that he’s monarch, or is it like the Secret Service code name for Presidents and you keep your original for life.

  25. They do that all the time. Hell, my grandmother did it all the time. This article is just trying to drum up sympathy

  26. Don’t worry, he has the United Kingdom’s best quacks and magicians treating him. 

  27. His funeral plans were probably being regularly updated before his cancer diagnosis, too.

  28. In my language there’s a proverb “Paapi Chirayu”

  29. I imagine most of the family members funeral plans are regularly updated.

  30. I bet he ends up living until the late 80s/early 90s

    He has the best care avaiable and both his parents lived extremely long lives

    His father died at 102 or 104
