This cult cinema located in London has announced that it will not change its name after the king’s coronation.
Everyone in the UK now calls Charles King Charles III. Everyone except the Prince Charles Cinema, an establishment located in the heart of London, which has made it known, in a tone of humor, that it will not change its name after the coronation.
“No, we are not going to change our name,” read a sign at the venue, an independent cinema in Leicester Place in London’s West End. “Not now, not ever!” he tweeted.
An old porn cinema
Beloved by famous directors like Quentin Tarantino, the Prince Charles Cinema was built between 1961 and 1962, when Elizabeth II’s son was just 13 years old. At that time, the venue was called the Prince Charles Theater (it would become the Prince Charles Cinema in the early 1990s).
The cinema, now specializing in revivals of classics of the 7th Art and cult films, was for a long time a porn cinema, and holds the record for the longest running in the United Kingdom of erotic films Emmanuelle.
