If he means ending up as a desperate, ill, sick in the head, mob-like paranoid dictator that throws more tantrums than a toddler and keeps threatening to blow up the world then yes i agree, that would be horrible and pathetic.
He told journalists this in response to questions about his declining popularity (on his birthday, no less). Usually the monarch doesn’t say anything political, but these are different times.
For those who don’t read the article. The context was that he was asked about the bad opinion polling in recent years (due to various causes including some clear missteps during the pandemic). He responded that he didn’t care about polls, but he did value constructive criticism, because:
>If you don’t have [constructive criticism], you could end up like Putin, and nobody wants that.
I’m not sure why it warranted an entire article.
I didn’t know Tim Key was the king of the Netherlands.
