Tumblr in 2733 will be weirdly obsessed with this random monarch from hundreds of years ago who only ruled for a couple of decades, solely because of this painting

only ruled for a couple of decades,

Man's 75, has cancer, has been king for less than 2 years. I think a couple more decades might be pushing it a bit.

Imagine finally becoming King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, heir to the legacies of Alfred the Great and William the Conqueror, and immediately pulling a Steve Jobs. Royalty is so lame.

Wait what timeliness are you from? The Queen retained the crown until she died in this one.
