Prince Charles is officially King of England, with Camilla as Queen consort, due to the unfortunate passing of Queen Elizabeth II, may she rest in peace. How do you feel about Charles becoming the next monarch?

Never been a royalist to be honest. There are pros and cons to having a monarchy but one pro must be that at least there is someone the Prime Minister has to answer to. God help us if our only head of state was a president.
The Queen was a product of her time, unaccessible to most and uncontroversial. That's not to say the public didn't love her of course, anyone can see the effect she had on the nation. But now is a different time and so a new style of monarchy is needed. William would have been perfect but I think Charles could be ok.

Really enjoyed the queen in all of her movies and TV shows. Not sure will watch the spinoffs with Charles.

As a thirty-something-year-old American, Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II being the only British monarch whose reign I have witnessed so far was and remains remarkable! She reminds me very much of my late maternal grandmother, as they were born a year apart and had very similar beliefs and personalities:
-both loved God and their families dearly, which anyone who knew them even casually or observed them even once, publicly or privately, could see clearly.
-both held their beliefs close to their hearts
-both lived through the Great Depression and World War II, etc., surviving on hard work and determination to do what they knew they had to do to live as selflessly and reasonably as possible.
-both knew deep love and deep loss, both ready to commend those departed and here alike to God and trust Him with their relationships with those they loved altogether!
-Both had a deep love for nature and reverence for God's handiwork in that respect. HRH Queen Elizabeth, I see, loved Corgis and Dorgis as my grandmother loved cardinals: they were evidence of God's goodness and a pleasure to have in one's surroundings!
-Both led their families by example with the invaluable support and co-leadership of their respective husbands, always ready to respect his leadership. Both handled widowhood with remarkable grace also.
-Both died peacefully, prepared to see the Lord whenever He was ready to bring them Home to Him, by all accounts.
I pray His Majesty King Charles III will lead his family and nation in much the same way his mother and my grandmother led their loved ones. May God be with all who grieve Her Royal Highness' passing and take comfort in knowing she is with God and all who went Home before her, just as my family did when my grandmother passed almost four years ago.
