[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t forget the secret love letters between Charles and Camilla that were made public when Diana was still alive … bonkers nonsense about Charles wanting to be Camilla’s tampon … it was not cool of her to break up that marriage when two young kids were involved but she seems to make Charles happy …

Not sure she will ever be truly accepted … hopefully Charles will abdicate fairly quickly and let William and Kate take the reigns … if they want the monarchy, which depends on public good will and support, to survive ..[/quote]
Abdicating for William and Kate is truly a horrible idea unless he is planning on still doing the same number of events that they currently do without being king and Queen consort. Which I don’t see Charles doing. Also Kate and William aren’t particularly popular with the youngest set. So the biggest argument in favor of continuing the BRF is tradition which you undermine if you skip the line.

I personally think that the monarchy is not long forgotten this world. And would be shocked if George doesn’t end up leading a greatly reduced institution. [/quote]

Why would Charles abdicate at all? I really don't understand why people keep bringing this up.[/quote] because he's past retirement age.[/quote]

Since when is that a requirement? There’s no age to rule. [/quote]

+1. People seem to forget that the monarchy is not an elected position even if it's authority has been greatly reduced to a figurehead type of institution. They think they are chosen by God/Divine Providence. Serving until death is expected. If you start saying, Oh, Charles is too old or William is too this or that then you really do start degrading the integrity of the institution.[/quote]

- Not forgetting those things — but wondering just how unpopular Charles and Camilla might be.  I think many people may support Queen Elizabeth as the only monarch they’ve ever known.  This support might not extend to Charles, but might extend to William, if only as George’s father. It’s not an elected position, but it does, very much, depend upon popularity.

When it comes to “God/Divine Providence “, the people who most strongly hold that belief might also be the ones who are the most put off by Charles’s quite messy divorce, and what it means to have a “defender of the Faith” who has had some very public and very messy faithless moments.  
To use your words, in some ways, Charles has already degraded the integrity of the institution.  While people might not warm to William, it’s easy to see why some are tempted to imagine that Charles could advise and talk to his plants, while William could be the first young-ish ruler in over 50 years.   I personally think that Charles should be King, but I get why the prospect of leap frogging Charles in favor of William might seem like a good solution to some.
