Will Charles take the throne.....or not?

William should be our next king and not Charles and Camilla will never be Queen
Totally disagree Purplepixie Camilla has done wonders for Charles she is a lovely lady everyone I know whose met her said what a lovely person she is She doesn’t try to take the limelight she seems calm and sensible and you can see they love each other dearly The Queen has given her blessing too I believe they are good friends
Anniebach you are right Charles has had a rough ride from the awful awful poisonous media
I think he’s a throughly decent man

For some reason a memory of the once ubiquitous Russell Grant emphatically stating on TV that Prince Charles would never be king has stuck with me from the early 80s.

Disclaimer: I am no great fan of Russell or of psychics in general, but I’m still interested to know whether he was right. It was a bold claim for 40 years ago!

Unlike the Queen, King Charles will have no sense of caution, only of entitlement

A monarch who does not know his place would be a disaster for an unstable Britain

The Man Who Shouldn't Be King

A video by Republic.
People in Cornwall don't like he erunru

Don't like the way Charles runs the Duchy

I really hope Charles takes the throne so William can spend as much time with his family before he becomes king

Don't like the way Charles runs the Duchy

no surprise there, you like nothing about any of it!

I think it would be wonderful if, after this queen has died, they took the opportunity of voluntary redundancy.

I don't think for one second that he will abdicate. I am sure his mother would expect him to continue the vow of service that she made. Yes as he gets frailer, the younger members of the working Royals will need to take on more work, but unless he gets dementia and can't do things like the boxes and the PM audiences, he will continue as she has.

I was about to say that lemsip then I realised Grany was talking about the people of Cornwall. I don’t live there or know anyone who does so have no idea what she means. I once watched a programme about the Duchy and it seemed he cared for his tenants.

A normal upbringing, whatever that is, is not very likely to be possible for any child in the direct succession to a throne.

Nor would it be likely to serve well as an apprenticeship.

Looking back, I feel a lot of mistakes were made in the upbringing of Prince Charles, Princess Anne and their two younger brothers.

Were the schools they were sent to the wisest choices? My parents and those of my class-mates certainly were surprised. And none of us "ordinary" Scottish school-children would have been allowed to behave in public, as Charles and Anne did as teenagers. Swearing at judges at horse-shows and so on, which both Charles and Anne did.

Royal children have to realise that their privileges come at a price - they are, or should be, servants of their country.

It may be that William and Harry have had an even worse upbringing that either of their parents, or it may not.

It is to be hoped that the entire Royal Family has learned by now how not to bring up children!

Presumably, Prince Charles will become king on his mother's death, and it is to be hoped that his wife will be accorded the title of Queen Consort, and not be left in the peculiar position of having a much lower rank, just because she is her husband's second wife.

However, this may never come to pass, because looking at the Jubilee photos, I wonder how well Prince Charles actually is? To me he looks in poor health for a man of 73.

I can't imagine Charles would abdicate - he's waited all these years!

I agree with this view, but Am sorry because everybody I know would prefer William.

Of course Charles will take the throne. Let's hope he does a better job than Charles I and II.

Sadly I agree that it is unlikely that the Queen will for a many more years but while she is alive she will always be in charge! Charles has had to wait so long to inherit the throne and I don't see him abdication . . . He will follow his mother's example though I think there will be changes.

I think that Camilla at 74 feels the strain of duty. Neither Charles or Camilla are up to long extended tours of the Commonwealth countries far less those closer to home it would make sense to share responsibility with Charles being crowned King and William and his family doing the extended leg work a bit like they have in place just now, the Queen does less physical touring and appearances and Charles & Camilla do the long haul stuff.

I am sure its written in the Constitution somewhere as to who does what next as it were!!!

Did Charles and Anne swear at judges at horse shows when they were teenagers?

I know Anne told a photographer to, Naff Off!’ while she was competing but don’t remember them swearing at judges.

Of course Charles will become King. It’s what he’s been born into and what he’s been ‘trained’ for.

If he lives as long as his grandmother and his parents, he could be king for at least 20 years, and he will be a really good King.

Why are we speculating? Personally I would want Charles to be king and then as he gets older William and Kate will provide back-up. Just as Charles and William are doing for HM The Queen.

Of course he will. Haven’t we just celebrated duty above personal preference? If it becomes a matter of choice the monarchy won’t last long.

A few centuries ago we would be executed for this speculation!

Somehow I do not believe her majesty is yet ready to hand over the reins to Charles. Her words,my life beit long or short etc continue to ring in my ears.

I’m sure he will.

I hope to God Camilla never becomes Queen. She’s caused no end of problems for the Royal family and I despise her and Charles for what they did to Diana. I went right off the royal family after Diana died. I think she was treated appallingly and I hope William becomes king and that Charles doesn’t.

I really hope that Charles will become King. He seems to have a good outlook on life, and is not afraid to be controversial at times. I quite believe we may not have too long to wait to find out, either. I think now the Queen has reached her Jubilee, and having lost the support of Philip, she may not be here for much longer. She has been sad and lonely since he died, and although she will never abdicate, and with failing health, she does seem to have little will to carry on with life.

Charles will be King that's for sure..................

But...........Hearing him voicing how he wanted to be in camilla's knickers also a Tampax and be flushed down the lavatory and swirled around..... not very Kingly
