I personally carried some classified hardware as part of my job one time. Normally they shipped it via USPS priority mail, but wanted it to be personally carried. It just so happened to be the day of the premier at the directors guild of the 1996 Dr Who TV movie, which I was able to attend.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

No more kings. Vimes had difficulty in articulating why this should be so, why the concept resonated in his very bones. After all, a good many of the patricians had been as bad as any king. But they were...sort of...bad on equal terms. What set Vimes's teeth on edge was the idea that kings were a different kind of human being. A higher lifeform. Somehow magical.

Hasan: The UK still has a king. King Charles III, but he has less gold in his palace then Donald Trump in the oval office right now. King Charles has more respect for democratic norms than the whiny manchild trying to send his troops into as many blue cities as he can.

Nye: We are here to tell our lawmakers that what's going on in our government is
wrong. They must stop the abuses of this petulant president and his circle of sycophants. No thrones, no crowns, no king

And now they've lost Chris again. I was hoping we'd get to see their reaction once they realized what happened, but we didn't get that. If we're going to have to wait until 2027 to find out more about that, I'm somewhat annoyed. Maybe they've been working on a Checkmate series already?
