King Charles III, the official “Defender of the Faith” and head of the Church of England, decided this Easter that Christians could just Google “He is risen” on their own while he’d already sent warm video greetings for Ramadan and Eid from inside royal palaces. Brits are not amused. Royal experts are calling it a shock, some are muttering “secret Muslim” theories, and one commentator basically said the future king William is already warming up in the bullpen. Nothing like skipping your own team’s biggest holiday to start a fresh royal scandal.
