I'm coming out of lurkdom to help the cause.
Do you think Charles will follow in his mother's footsteps and wear bright coloured clothes to help be seen? I keep getting a mental image of Jim Carrey in that orange tuxedo in Dumb and Dumber

Did you guys see the new money with his profile? (So many tiaras I can’t remember if the money thing was posted) One side still has QEII
I think he’s holding onto her coattails for as long as possible.

(So many tiaras I can’t remember if the money thing was posted) One side still has QEII I think he’s holding onto her coattails for as long as possible. I read a theory online that if he has half a brain he would continue to remind people of his connection with Queen Elizabeth because was cut a lot of slack and a lot of people had soft spots for her due to her age, how long she reigned, being old, etc etc etc and he doesn’t have any of that. I also read an article that said the Queen had the benefit of becoming Queen young and people grew with her and had sympathy for a young woman in a “male dominated” arena blah blah blah but with Charles what you see is someone who has had a lifetime to win peoples affection and good graces and hasn’t… and any screw yo is going to be seen from a lens of “he had 70+ years to prepare and still can’t get it right” |

Alexander Calder, circa 1937.  Starting bid $200,00 USD This is so delightfully weird. I would actually expect nothing less from Calder. I enjoy his whimsy. |

To be fair, it seems like it's a limited release, designed in memory of the Queen. Probably designed more so to be keepsakes vs actual in circulation coinage. |

The larger coin (the one with QEII on one side) is just commemorative and worth 5 pounds. The smaller one is for general circulation and worth 50 pence.  |

I'm wondering with all the side profile thing, if it makes any of them want to get a nose job.
Like I look fine straight on, but my side profile... is... a lot.

Like are there ones made during the transition from George to Liz? I’m not invested enough to research this. I just want to be a judgy mcjudgerson. |
