I want to see the monarchy abolished but don’t wish him personally any great ill will. He’s more of a meddler in affairs of state than his mother and has been nonce-adjacent too many times for me to trust his judgement but this brings me no joy - too many friends getting cancer at the moment.
He’s primarily unpopular with those of us that are against the monarchy as an institution rather than because of the man himself. If he dies that doesn’t get rid of the institution, it just changes which rich prick currently has the job
You can hate someone and what they stand for without wanting them to get cancer. Call me an old bleeding heart, but I don’t think it’s very healthy to wish death on anyone.
It’s not the only way, he could abdicate for one thing. There’s the possibility of democratic abolition of the monarchy (but if you go by opinion polls it doesn’t have enough public support at the moment).
Imagine not being able to ask if it’s good or bad news that a politician resigns. The fact that there is only one way for him to quit doesn’t mean you can’t be happy about him quitting.
People on the whole don’t like the idea of that much wealth in one location, or the way that there are lots of loopholes and exemptions for them that commoners don’t receive.
However, opinions of the bottom in the seat vary.
The late queen was generally well regarded as a reasonably nice person.
And the current king is getting nods of approval for championing environmental issues, and the way that he’s been very open about his recent medical issues (which hopefully will drive more prostate-holders to get checked).
Is this good or bad news? I don’t know much about the UK, but I thought he was kinda unpopular.

He is only unpopular with the terminally online. At most, people are apathetic/don’t really have an opinion of him
Spoken like someone who isn’t one of his subjects.
His coat of arms are on my passport lol
No, they’ve got it bang on.
He’s not hated, certainly not hated enough for people to wish he dies of cancer.
He’s less popular than his mother, but that’s mainly because people are simply ambivalent about him.
I can’t think of anyone I’d wish to die of cancer. I watched my father become a shell of a man while cancer took him, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
Really, I wouldn’t wish anyone dead, but definitely not of cancer. What a horrible way to go.
Fuck cancer.

When the system of government is literally based on succession through death, you kind of open yourself up to such questions.
Yeah, that’s the problem here, right? If you wish him away, there is only one way.

You can wish for the abolition of the monarchy (in a non-guillotine sort of way)
changing the system of government doesn’t require anyone’s death.
Imagine asking if it’s good or bad news that an old man has cancer.

He can always abdicate. It’s been done before. But that wi have no effect on the constitution or shake of government
Maybe turn on the human being bit of your brain. The guy has cancer.
