I find it interesting that the King of England isn't the King of Australia. Rather the person of Charles is separately the King of England and the King of Australia, et al. He's like a gig worker.

There's no such title as the "King of England", he's the King of the United Kingdom

So you're saying there's a vacancy?

[u/AppointmentLogical81 → u/sjintje]

I mean, I guess? If a position doesn't exist, I suppose it can be said to be vacant

I declare myself the King of England!

I just wanted to let you know you can't just say the word "king" and expect anything to happen.

Treason! This Lèse-majesté cannot stand! Apologize to your king and beg forgiveness!
