man literally asks 'are my coffers showing?' while inspecting a 5th century manuscript, historians say charles iii just 'didnt have time for that'
TL;DR King Charles III was inspecting a rare 5th-century manuscript at the Bodleian Library, and when a curator asked if he wanted to see the delicate gold-leaf binding, the monarch allegedly just sighed and said, "Are my coffers showing?" before wandering off to pet a corgi. Historians are calling it "performative disinterest." AITA for thinking he's just tired of the "look at my shiny crown" tour? I swear, this is peak "mOnArChY iS cUlTuRaL hErItAgE" energy, while the guy can't even pretend to care about an actual cultural artifact. Up next: Charles III refuses to acknowledge a 1,000-year-old artifact because it's not made of organic lavender soap.
