The Coronation of King Charles: A Tipping Point for the Monarchy?

TL;DR Summary
Despite his cartoonish appearance and outlandish statements, King Charles III has not become a popular subject for internet memes. His problematic past and lack of a strong public persona may be to blame, as well as his gender and the shadow of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. To be memeable, royals have to be likable, which is where the previous queen excelled, but Charles has long been seen as waiting for his mother to give him his time to shine.
