Charles Philip Arthur George, aka Charles III, was formally topped the King of England on Might 6. The coronation, which befell 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. By no means thoughts the issue 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.
However we’re not right here to speak about that. As an alternative, we’ll have a look at the memes impressed by that coronation. From Elden Ring to Star Wars, some have left me weak.
Avid gamers meme King Charles III’s Coronation
Naturally, avid gamers 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 had been making an attempt to good a religion or energy construct from Elden Ring.
Have you learnt pesetas? They’re the forex in Spain, however they’re additionally featured in Resident Evil 4. Properly, what in case you might purchase King Charles III’s crown in Capcom’s survival horror shooter? You’ll be able to’t. Nonetheless, somebody joked that in case you might, the crown with the stolen jewel would promote for 100,000 pesetas. Or simply about $662 USD. That’s not a complete lot for one thing this gaudy.
There have been those who 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.) People additionally changed King Charles III’s crown with the Burger King one.
And naturally, 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 isn’t a scarcity of coronation memes to select aside on-line. My fave, although, moreover 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 by which the crown screams for the UK to “shove your coronation up your ass.” Good.
