[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best thing Charles will do as king is have a short reign. That is what would be best for the monarchy as an institution. I think knowing the Charles was not very popular is the reason why the Queen never retired like elderly monarchs have been doing in the test of Europe.

Charles is 74. The former King of Spain retired at 76 and passed on the throne to his son. Queen Beatrix of Netherlands retired at 75 and passed on the crown. William is much more popular than his father and in his prime at age 40. Hopefully Charles has the sense to retire by age 80. That would make William 46. [/quote]

He’ll be the last king. William isn’t that popular, Kate is but she’s just a princess. If William’s tour of the Caribbean hadn’t been such an unprecedented disaster then there would be hope that he could save the monarchy  and pressure on Charles to truncate his reign. William is stupid and lazy though so it will limp along with the Charles and Camilla parade of having eggs or tomatoes thrown at them. [/quote]

Sure, we believe you. Lol[/quote]

Camilla is still disliked. Charles is at best seen as an odd duck and at worst as a petty and weak. William is perceived as being angry and less than competent. This isn’t going to last long. [/quote]

If we go by UK polls, which is what matters, Princess Anne is winning: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11631215/Princess-Anne-popular-member-Royal-Family-new-poll-finds.html

It will be interesting to see what happens when Princess Anne dies 
Also Charles is incredibly old, he will die in a decade or so

Why is he having such a huge corporation party? What a ridiculous expense to go through. Sounds more like a worship service!

I admire Harry for his bravery in stepping out of the snake pit 
I do not admire Kate, she comes across as boring, snobbish even. Her kind of woman was the ideal of my grandmother’s generation. A woman needed to be a man’s shadow. Not a person who had achievements on her own merit.

I do see that Harry obviously did not make his decision to leave lightly. The press was aweful and stepped over the line to outright atrocious 
But at the same time the BRF needed to protect Andrew and every article about MM wearing wrong color nail polish was an article not about Andrew

There is a massive public relations firm behind all of this. I am sure everyone knows that by now

So I am happy to let the Brits play this game and it is slightly amusing and at the same time painful to watch

Then again, all talk, any talk about them, whether good or bad keeps the monarchy alive

My impression of the British as a people has gone down. You should be in support of PH doing with his life what he wishes 
Start eyeballing the not so interesting W&K and write stories about the antics of their kids[/quote]
Charles feels like his unhappy childhood entitles him to a big fancy party and all the recognition that goes with it. Given the current cost of living situation in the UK it seems that the wiser course of action would be something less elaborate.

I don’t mind Kate but she’s not really aspirational for younger generations.
