We love Chris Elliott because he’s a symbol. He represents quiet, unshakable competence. In a world of chaos, he is the calm, bearded rock.
He’s also a bit of a meme legend. Every time he appears in a photo, the internet loses its collective mind. We can’t help it. He’s the perfect combination of authority and dad-energy.
So next time you see King Charles out and about, look for the beard. It’s the one that is probably insured for more than my entire house. And if he looks at you, just smile and wave. He’s not there to make friends. He’s there to make sure the King gets home safely. And honestly? We respect that.
