If you were asked to explain what the Burger King picture was about, what would you say? ;D

The man who would be King but never will. The sad clown, the guy at then end of the party with the sad hat on.

My interpretation is a figure who will one day be king of nothing. The paper crown represents the worthless crown of a constitutional monarch. No power just a figurehead in charge of an unhealthy institution (UK Ltd). Maybe I'm thinking to much...

Spot on, It's actually based on an original he made featuring the crown prince of Norway, single layer black stencil. Sprayed on the side of Burger King. King of nothing other than a corporate comsumer driven madhouse.. quite right too ;)

Part of Burger King's (the fast food chain) advertising was that you're the king. They even give out the paper crowns here in the US if you ask for them. Don't know if they do that in the UK.

Charles is such a tool, so I think it's more like the only king he'll ever be is the burger king. Just like any other kid who gets a paper crown with their kids meal.
