    Seriously, I have as little interest in the Royal Family's spawn as I do in golf or cricket. With any luck it wuill have Charles's ears, Diana's nose and Anne's teeth, with Prince Philip's sense of empathy.

The important thing is that when it comes down to a simple 'Do you like Prince Charles?' question, he's actually very popular, and rightly so. He's been a great patron of a good many charities, including the wildly successful Prince's Trust program. He's a strong advocate for environmentalism (and was long before it was trendy) and the arts and is basically a really nice guy who does a lot of good things for the country.
      It is good to know that Charles is popular, but he has a "tough act to follow" for sure. It will be interesting to know if he will maintain that popularity once he wears the crown.

        Given the inordinately large amount of tax money spent on each new member of the royal family, you folks really ought to think about population control. If you like, we can send over Bob Barker for a "spay and neuter your ruling class" campaign, assuming he hasn't died without my noticing.

          The money doesn't increase if there are more of them. They get a small percentage of the crown estates income to share between them (simplistic summary). So not really tax money either.

              Charles will forever linked to his tampon comment. Not exactly monarch material.
              It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

                    I'm sure Bugs can write up a nice post regarding "monarch material".

                          Is this an alternate history you're writing or something?

                                Don't be silly, it's a Clinton next. The Bush clan won't be back in again until 2020.
