In common with many people, I've been somewhat saddened by the news of the death of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd. She's been my Queen all my life and I'll miss her. But now I've a King! And there's a new Princess of Wales.
The last 70 years have been referred to as the New Elizabethan Age. So what will King Charles' reign be known as. I believe I have the answer.
Charles 1 was the Caroline era. Charles 2 the Carolean era.
Will Charles 3 preside over the Carolyn era (in accordance with principles of organic chemistry*).
It could even be the Sweet Carolyne era if it's especially good.
*Single carbon bonds have the suffix -ane, double carbon bonds are -ene and triple are -yne.
