How can you not respect Prince Charles for all the work which he has done through the Prince's Trust?
I see no reason why Charles would not make a good King.
He is already a respected international ambassador.
I love the Queen, I think she is an amazing woman and Head of State, it will be a shame when she dies, but I cannot see any reason for "shit hitting the fan".

My granny liked the Queen, met her once, her generation remembered her during the war.
I dont mind them as I said, but I do find them a good laugh, and maybe Charles would make a good King, the problem for him is will he get to do so ? and do the public believe it ?
If you have a alot of time for them then I wont offend you, and I was mostly joking before, but when the Queen dies, and depending on when she dies, it will open up all sort of questions, and for them to last, they need the right answers.
The reason I said the 'shit hitting he fan' is due to people viewing her family as her being the best in it, the one that people think of as being truly royal, I disagree with you in the sense that I think Charles has work to do in order to capture the publics mind in that way, and it may now happen that the side show of this wedding is now over.
You only need to look at that tv program last year about the future of the monarchy, and nearly 40% polled said they would prefer William as the next King.
I'm in Scotland and to be honest, they aren't really given much thought, or held in fantastic opinion, especially from the younger generations, they need to do alot of work in the next 10-15 years, but I'd be amazed if they dont know that and the wedding isn't part of that.
