I just got my first Chucky Buck this weekend, we can’t switch to a new currency this quickly! Our economy is in shambles!

Oh no. A rich person with access to the best medical care in the world is sick. What ever will we do.

With the UK's Chief Executive and thought leader incapacitated Scotland should declare independence.

It's a bummer that his reign may not last long enough for the British to decide that maybe a king is a bad idea.

Our royalty are really just diplomats with better PR and a lot less privacy. Poor guy just lost his mum, now he's got cancer - I hope he recovers.

He will receive better healthcare than 99% of the population after living a life drenched in privilege.

My sympathies lie elsewhere

You know sympathy isn't rationed, right?

Yes, he's lined in unbelievable privilege. Yes, he'll get the best care available. Yes, it is reasonable to believe and campaign for the monarchy to be abolished.

But this is still a man who has been diagnosed with cancer. For anyone, that is a scary and upsetting diagnosis and, upon hearing about it, it is only reasonable to feel sympathy for that person.

Could this new development mean that it is possible that his reign may not be a bit shorter than his mother's?
