#15  Who cares? The UK already flushed itself down the toilet.

#14  The monarchy is one of England’s biggest tourism draws, not to mention seller of newspapers and website clicks.

#12  Camilla seems to be helping him practice a seemly public discretion

Following the Biden model.

#10  My bet is he ascends the throne just long enough for the Brits to realize that the monarchy is outmoded.

#9  He is already 74, so isn't likely to change any of his previously stated dumb opinions. But Camilla seems to be helping him practice a seemly public discretion, which is really all that’s needed from one who reigns rather than rules.

#8  My sincere hope is that Charles never becomes king. Hopefully, he will die before Elizabeth.

#7  As much respect, I have her for and the unity she promoted under her rein despite her offspring's and related family well documented issues and behavior.

I have to ask, given we question Biden's mental facilities at his age and her pushing 95. Did she make the decision or was she steered into it?


Princes DI would have been the better choice. Had she not conveniently died under VERY VERY suspicious, and questionable circumstances?

#5  Charles as King? Fear not, brave souls. We are just about to the point in the plot where some little peasant kid pulls the sword from the stone and becomes King of All Britons.
