Charles Philip Arthur George, aka Charles III, was formally topped the King of England on Could 6. The coronation, which passed off 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 residing in England because of the exorbitant prices of residing 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 a substitute, 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 attempting to excellent a religion or power 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 the event you might purchase King Charles III’s crown in Capcom’s survival horror shooter? You may’t. Nonetheless, somebody joked that in the event 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 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.) Of us 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 is no such thing as a 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 recreation during which the crown screams for the UK to “shove your coronation up your ass.” Good.
