As if the British monarchy hasn\u2019t seen enough of its fair share of morally questionable characters throughout history, King Charles III doesn\u2019t exactly emerge as a shining example of virtue. While he hasn\u2019t resorted to the extreme measures of his predecessors like Henry VIII or Richard III, his actions and behaviors over the years have raised more than a few eyebrows. So, let\u2019s dive into the chronicles of Charles\u2019 life and assess some of the worst, weirdest, and most disturbing things he\u2019s ever done, much like we\u2019ve done for his sons, William and Harry.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Morbid and \u201cgruesome\u201d childhood fixations: Even as a child, Charles displayed a fascination with morbid subjects like injury, blood, and surgery. At the tender age of four, he insisted on watching a relative\u2019s minor surgery, leaving family members concerned about his unusual fixation. While judging a four-year-old for being peculiar may seem harsh, it certainly sets a curious tone for Charles\u2019 early years.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Wrongdoing rating: 1\/10<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Dated a teenager while in his 30s: One aspect of Charles and Diana\u2019s relationship often overlooked is the significant age gap between them. Charles first noticed Diana when she was just 16, while he was 29 and dating her older sister. Their relationship didn\u2019t turn serious until Diana was 19 and Charles was 32. While not illegal, the age gap raises eyebrows and casts a shadow on the dynamics of their romance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Wrongdoing rating: 5\/10<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \u201cWhatever \u2018in love\u2019 means\u201d: During their engagement announcement interview, Charles\u2019 callous response to the interviewer\u2019s comment about being \u201cvery much in love\u201d with Diana left her feeling traumatized. His dismissive attitude towards their relationship in a public forum added insult to injury for his fiancee, painting a bleak picture of their union from the start.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Wrongdoing rating: 5\/10<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Treated his wife like garbage for their entire marriage: The most significant blemish on Charles\u2019 moral character undoubtedly stems from his treatment of Diana throughout their marriage. His affair with Camilla, coupled with his apparent lack of respect or care for Diana, inflicted immense emotional pain on her and contributed to her struggles with mental health issues.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Wrongdoing rating: 9\/10<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Went to the opera while his son underwent emergency surgery: When his son William underwent emergency surgery after a head injury, Charles opted to attend an opera instead of staying by his son\u2019s side. His decision to prioritize personal entertainment over family crisis raised significant criticism and showcased a lack of parental responsibility.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Wrongdoing rating: 6\/10<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Promoted deadly fake cancer treatments: Charles\u2019 advocacy for alternative medicine, including the controversial Gerson Therapy, has drawn criticism for its potential harm. Encouraging cancer patients to forgo conventional treatments in favor of unproven remedies is dangerously irresponsible and reflects poorly on his judgment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Wrongdoing rating: 7\/10<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Tried to interfere with democracy: Charles\u2019 attempts to influence government policies, as evidenced by the \u201cblack spider\u201d letters, raise concerns about his respect for democratic processes. His advocacy for personal agendas outside his constitutional role undermines the principles of democratic governance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Wrongdoing rating: 7\/10<\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. Made weird comments about his unborn grandson\u2019s skin color: Allegations of Charles expressing concerns about Archie\u2019s skin color during Meghan Markle\u2019s pregnancy raise questions about his attitudes towards race and diversity. Such comments, if true, reflect poorly on his understanding of inclusivity and diversity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  Wrongdoing rating: 6\/10<\/p>\n

                  Conclusion: With a cumulative wrongdoing rating of 45\/80, Charles emerges as a complex and controversial figure with a history of questionable actions and behaviors. While he may not match the infamy of some historical monarchs, his track record suggests a pattern of behavior that is, at the very least, concerning. Whether he can redeem himself in the eyes of the public remains to be seen, but for now, his legacy is marred by a series of troubling incidents that paint a less-than-flattering portrait of the future king.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
