#5  The phrase "Charles III" doesn't exactly inspire confidence in an historian...

#4  Charlie is sort of adrift. Better that after he marries Camilla, he renounces claim to the throne in favor of William, and go to blissful retirement in Bermuda like his grand-uncle...

#3  I don't think he cares, Barb. He has zero chance of assuming the throne ... Mom is going to stay there until she dies, at which time he will be old and even less attractive to the public, while his son will be mature enough to step up to the job. He's had zero affection from the family or the public and just wants to indulge himself now.

#2  Only because Mama is sending him to the funeral.

They had already announced they planned to go ahead with it if the Pope's funeral were held on Friday, interferring with the wedding. Guess Mama took care of that.

Am I the only one who wonders if Charlie isn't trying to destroy the British monarchy?

#1  Keep your fingers crossed, Chuck. I hear Ranier's in tough shape too...
