Charles Philip Arthur George, aka Charles III, was formally topped the King of England on May 6. The coronation, which occurred on the Westminster Abbey Anglican church in London, was expectedly gaudy and lavish, overflowing with sufficient gold and jewels to make you blind with all of the incessant glowing. Never thoughts the problem of dwelling in England due to the exorbitant prices of dwelling as roughly 40 p.c of the inhabitants is poised to slide into poverty, the coronation was lavish and over-the-top.
But we’re not right here to speak about that. Instead, we’ll take a look at the memes impressed by that coronation. From Elden Ring to Star Wars, some have left me weak.
Gamers meme King Charles III’s Coronation
Naturally, players took to Twitter to meme the hell out of the absurd occasion. Some associated King Charles III’s apparel, replete with ostentatious staves and an opulent crown and stolen jewels from South Africa (thanks colonization), to grinding XP for tons of hours.
Others noticed members of the coronation and instantly thought they have been attempting to good a religion or energy construct from Elden Ring.
Do pesetas? They are the forex in Spain, however they’re additionally featured in Resident Evil 4. Well, what for those who may purchase King Charles III’s crown in Capcom’s survival horror shooter? You can’t. Still, somebody joked that for those who may, the crown with the stolen jewel would promote for 100,000 pesetas. Or nearly $662 USD. That’s not an entire lot for one thing this gaudy.
There have been folks that stretched the meme to popular culture references, like questioning if Star Wars’ Snoke, the supreme chief of the First Order, wore the golden gown higher than King Charles III. (Spoiler: Snoke did put on it higher.) Folks additionally changed King Charles III’s crown with the Burger King one.
And in fact, as a result of King Charles III is in his 70s now, there are memes clowning his age. Yeah, it’s completely ageist, however some are nonetheless fairly hilarious.
There is not any scarcity of coronation memes to select aside on-line. My fave, although, in addition to the foolish Elden Ring ones, is that this one which’s not precisely a meme as a lot as it’s a chant throughout a Scottish soccer sport through which the crown screams for the UK to “shove your coronation up your ass.” Brilliant.
