King Charles has been criticized for ordering the British Navy to rename HMS Agincourt. Some people are calling it “pathetic” and think he might be “losing his mind.” The king made the decision because he didn’t want to upset the French. He also allegedly fears near fatal poisoning.
The submarine, which is still being built, was renamed HMS Achilles this week. The idea of changing the name was rejected by the previous government, but Charles brought it up again after the Labour Party came into power, which frustrated some people around him.
A royal insider said the king should focus on his health and treatment for cancer instead of getting involved in small arguments. The submarine was originally named after the Battle of Agincourt, a victory over the French. Some critics, including former Defence Secretary Ben Wallace and Rear Admiral Chris Parry, said the name change was “politically correct nonsense.”
However, a Royal Navy spokesperson explained that the new name, “Achilles,” was chosen because of its connection to the Second World War and important anniversaries. The name was approved by King Charles.
In other royal news, Princess Anne is pushing for her daughter, Zara Tindall, to get a princess title from King Charles. Anne had previously rejected giving her children royal titles but now regrets it. She wants Charles to make the change, especially with his health problems.
Anne is concerned that her children might feel hurt by her past decision and believes Zara and her husband, Mike, could be a big help to the royal family.
