King Charles Ii

Have you heard the latest about Prince Charles and Princess Diana? The latest is, royal shenanigans are nothing new. Marriage problems, indeed, are old, old news in the history of the British monarchy. The Prince of Wales, the prospective King Charles III, has been portrayed as cold and indifferent to his princess, and attached to an old flame. He has been photographed kissing other women on the cheek and has missed his son's sports day at school. Pale stuff.

Regarding the Elvira photo above the letter about Vampira and King Charles II: Poor Vampira! Yet again, the shame, indignity and ignominy of being interchangeable with Elvira. JEFF MAYERS Reseda

Enough! I don't care who looks like King Charles II of Spain. No more Latoya looks like Michael looks like Diana looks like Benji. Stop with the Bullwinkle-Jamie Farr comparisons. You're not Spy magazine. Oh, by the way. Did you ever notice how much the enclosed Miro painting (above) looks like Roger Rabbit? WILLIAM THUT, Hollywood

While Elvis fans still try to prove he is alive, Calendar's readership continues to offer convincing evidence that King Charles II of Spain still lives (Calendar Letters, Oct. 23)!! ALEX H. DURON Cordova, Tenn.

As a veteran teacher of first-graders, relishing my precious time away from them, I was dismayed to find my favorite Calendar page dominated by letters by and about 6-year-olds. I would much rather read letters about clever little dogs (Paolo the Wonderdog) and syphilitic kings (King Charles II) who look like other people. Therefore, as an acknowledged expert, I shall now close this subject for you: Some 6-year-olds and their parents are very smart. Some are not. LYNN CHRISTIE La Crescenta

It has occurred to me that Hilburn is probably the single most important writer Calendar has. After all, what difference does it make how absurd or outlandish his opinion may be. The fact is, the man gets a response (witness the Beatles Annex, June 7). Keep it up, Hilburn! Reading the responses to your articles is just possibly more exciting than the missing King Charles II dilemma a while back (Calendar Letters, Sept. 16, 1984 to Dec. 30, 1984).

We'll be there Just when you thought journalism couldn't sink any lower We'll be there Just when you thought you couldn't think any slower We'll be there To insult your intelligence, add to your woes To bring your IQ to unthinkable lows On par with Larry's, Curly's, or Moe's We'll be there, we'll be there, we'll be there And, now we reckon King Charles II will finally be put out to pasture ...

A diamond that once adorned King Charles II's coronation crown has been stolen from a mansion in central England, police said Saturday. A gang of thieves burst into the 50-room family home of historian Katherine Wyndham on Friday morning, and took her from room to room looking for valuables. In an attempt to distract their attention from the priceless diamond, Wyndham said she lectured them on the family collection of crested silver.

Thanks for being such good sports by printing letter writer Erika J. Kaumeyer's musings about the remarkable physical resemblance between Vampira and King Charles II (Calendar Letters, Oct. 23). But why did you print Elvira's photo next to that of the unsinkable monarch? Long live the King! JEFF MAYERS Reseda It was a royal mistake.

Let me guess. Last week's King Charles II of Spain look-alike picture was none other than Prince on Page 9. You guys just crack me up. RICK VETTER, Riverside
