Prince William carried out his first rescue mission in his new job as a search and rescue helicopter pilot, lifting an ill man from an off-shore gas rig, a royal spokesman said Tuesday.

It was his first rescue job since graduating two weeks ago.

"....This kid is alright....."

Copy that. The best thing that could happen to England would be if Granny and Daddy both kick the bucket at the same time.

I am assuming William is next in line; I forget who's next after Charles..

The succession after Charles is William, Harry and Andrew. Not sure whether Anne is ahead of Andrew’s kids.

Charles took himself out of the succession when he divorced.

“Staged for a spoiled royal.”

Save the class envy for the Dems. You allegedly are not a Dem.

No, Chuck’s been talking about it in recent years. Still, I suspect Liz knows he couldn’t handle it and is only hanging in there until William and Harry (the spare) mature. I also suspect she now wishes she’d been nicer to Diana.

Princess Anne comes in at #10.

Chuckie’s sons do seemed to have turned out to be real men somehow. I guess their father is a real embarrassment to them.
