I don’t see anything wrong with them keeping their titles but if I were British, I would want them to be totally separated from the government.
I sure don’t know much about the monarchy but recall reading that the Queen still has some power tho it is of the kind that if she wielded it very often, she would probably lose it.
Why does ANYBODY want a king or a queen? Seems like just throwing money at folks to live a life of luxury.
“When he was eight years old, he visited the Mountbatten estate for a formal lunch and the attendees were all eating wild strawberries. Charles was methodically picking them stems off the berries. Lord Mountbatten told him, “No, no. You hold them by the stems to dip in the sugar.””
HE HAD THE HARDEST LIFE EVER!!!!!!!!!
Charles is a closet muslim. He adores them.
If Chuckie ends up living as long as his mother, he’ll be king for at least another 22 years. Plenty of time to do plenty of damage, even if only a figurehead.
Prince Charles is not a frog, he is an ugly toad. And dumber than dirt.
Forget the psychobabble. Even many Brits concede that this is one of the dumbest men in England. Long live the Queen!
“Charles married Diana because his father said he should. No matter that he may have been in love with Camilla Parker Bowles”
didn’t camilla marry someone else before Charles married Diana? Camilla couldn’t have cared too much fro charles if she married some one else. Or they are both spineless idiots letting others tell them what to do.
I remember the joke was that they were going to name their kid “Up” so then they’d sign letters “Up, Chuck and Di.”
What we have here is not a failure to communicate, but a letter of intent...
...and one of these days boy, ...

Sally Bedell Smith’s book is, like her other work about the Royal family, a piece of crap full of falsehoods and misinformation, gossip and lies presented for the titillation of people.
It is disturbing to see people taking it seriously. It is very disturbing to me, personally, as a friend of the Prince, to see it being taken seriously by people here at Freerepublic.
His Royal Highness is, on most issues, a conservative who would fit it quite well here, if he had the option of participation (environmentalism is the one great exception to that). He is nothing like the caricature of him presented in the press, who as I’m sure most people here are aware, is dominated by the left wing and who delight in trying to make conservatives look like fools. They’re trying to do it to President Trump right now and most of you can see that’s false. But for some reason, large number of you simply accept their tactics and approach are accurate when it comes to the Prince of Wales. They’re not. These articles, these books, are intended to make him look like a fool so nobody will listen when he speaks out on issues from a conservative perspective. They give publicity to his environmentalism because it’s the only thing he does that they see as praiseworthy. They suppress or even deliberately and manipulate and selectively quote from his other speeches to make it look like he said things he didn’t. And people just swallow it.
It’s disturbing. Very disturbing.
Rumors were that it was Phillip that cleaned up the mess with Diana.
He saw his duty as protecting the Queen and the throne, and did whatever was necessary to that end.
Charles will be King because he does not want William to have to deal with the crazy press until he is a little older and has had some life without the stupid duties of King added on to his already annoying life.
William will get there soon enough, and George will already be the one people are ask for. Expect Charles for 15 years then William for 30 then George for 40 years.
"He can peer through a knothole and suffer no loss of depth perception--he's a Royal Cyclops." ...Whatever.
King Charles will be the cause of the Brits ending the monarchy. Chuck is a first class twit
Charles is a daft imbecile. Great Britain would be much better served if he were skipped over in favor of William.
Jiminy Cricket, Camilla Parker Bowles is a horse woman. I’d saw my leg of with a rusty spoon to stay away from her.
