'He lied': Fury grows over White House demolition for ballroom

[Crunchy Frog]

8. Exactly. I get tired of the use of the term king, when it's clearly a dictatorship that he's striving for.

Charles III has essentially no political power. Nor does he have that much freedom in his personal life, and I doubt that he would be able to demolish historical buildings at will, even if he formally owns them. He's very much constrained by tradition and expectations.

I don't think George III had that much power either. When he got too crazy he was essentially 25thd, with his son taking over as regent.

I guess maybe it plays well in publicity, but it's not accurate.
