But why? These Germans are not any worse than their predecessors--not as bad as some. Elizabeth II has been a fine monarch and has set an impeccable example. Prince William certainly has ample promise, expecially if he can bring the positive qualities of his mother to the monarchy. And even if the worse inuendos about Charles should be true, embarrassing as they would be, it's doubtful that they would prove more than an inconvenience to the perduring British monarchy.

The reason is that there is already substantial anti-monarchal sentiment in Britain, and most of what monarchal sentiment there is focuses on Elizabeth II and nostalgia for her parents, George VI and Elizabeth the Queen Mother. Liz's sister Meg gave everyone fits. No one in Britain has much use or respect for Charles or his siblings, and whatever hope there is in the family is on Dianna Spencer's children. The Spencers are none-too-stable, but they have decent instincts.

I am simply not so sanguine as you are that the British will tolerate Charles as King. Neither of the previous Chareles' had distinguished reigns, so it is an unlucky name.
