KING'S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION COMING UP? - Page 2

Charles was born in November. Queen Elizabeth birthday is in April. But they always celebrate her birthday officially second week of June. Go figure. Can't be Charles celebration, but who knows. Maybe June is the Momarchs second birthday party. Like a second lunch, lol

@They CallMe MRWILKES @Cakers3 It's possible that @NYCLatinaMe confused MLK day with Juneteenth which is this Monday.

Why doesn't Juneteenth have an actual date so people know when it is?

For some the title The King belongs to Martin Luther King Jr. or Elvis. (And pls forgive the name to both).

Maybe some will never automatically think of Charles as "The King." And celebrating his birthday? Because he was born into the throne and also an adulterer and destroying his marriage and wife who he didn't love-but oh well. I guess his birthday as all the reigning family was oh so important-not!

Sorry I just can't get enthralled with the pomp and circumstance and self-importance of them.

And the way their own family is and was treated from Elizabeth with her sister and those who perished in her reign and before to now-I don't see anything to admire. Service to their own self-importance, while not putting those in their very own family first, only the CROWN!

Pls forgive me. I don't know why I get so angry at this. Maybe because they never acknowledge their faults and carry on, while destroying and hurting those they are supposed to love.

It all reminds me of The Emperor's New Clothes.

There is the more relevant reason for Juneteenth, now a Federal Holiday, not for the celebration of Charles birthday.

The monarch’s birthday is important in another country because it’s part of their history. It’s not important in the United States because it’s not part of our system of government. I don’t think the two things have anything to do with each other? It’s not our country, it’s theirs. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The Royal Family is important to most Britains and many Americans, including me. Their support of charities, both personally and financially is unmatched.
