watching Prince Charles at 70 on PBS-he will make a good king. Soft hearted, cares about environmen

[demtenjeep]

causes we care about.

If he were here, we would be seeing him as a great senator




BUT....he treated Diana horribly

[calguy]

1. If.....

he can outlive his mom.

[demtenjeep]

2. he builds things like our gymns and water parks for the kids to enjoy

and it doesn't cost the users a thing

[roamer65]

3. I'd rather see William as king.

So would Australia. If Charles becomes king, Australia may again revive the republic debate.

[meadowlander]

6. If he becomes king it will be for 10-15 years tops.

Why would that revive the republic debate if there's no issue with Wills?

[roamer65]

8. Australia isn't fond of Charles.

[The King of Prussia]

13. I'd rather see Andrew as King

He's disgusting, but nowhere near as bad as his brother.

[irisblue]

16. His problems are expanding this week

Nadine White (@Nadine_Writes) Tweeted:
Former David Cameron aide Rohan Silva says Prince Andrew used the n-word in a meeting in 2012. "Well if you'll pardon the expression, that really is the n* in the woodpile," he reportedly said. #PrinceAndrew https://t.co/X523IKLuGL

4. He promotes dangerous pseudoscience like homeopoathy, and his environmentalism --

while welcome in general -- may be based in similar magical thinking rather than evidence and reason (which are plenty good as reasons to support many environmentalist positions -- but not all, because *some* nominally "environmentalist" positions are in fact bunk).

He'd be a harmless moron if he were not going to be the nominal head of state of a nuclear-armed/global-economic power and have all of the unwarranted attention that comes with being head of state by accident of birth rather than consent and/or merit.

5. boris johnson is head of government ...by consent lol nt

7. Fuck all royalty.

9. Kings aren't good.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

10. He just turned 71.

I know, nit picky.

[renate]

11. I was NOT an admirer for the longest time

I have changed my mind. Maybe I’m more mature or maybe he is, but I’ve really come to respect him and his good intentions. He may not always follow the optimal or most efficient path but he definitely always means well.

[The King of Prussia]

12. Let's judge him by his friends

Peter Ball: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Ball_(bishop) - "...a British bishop in the Church of England and convicted sex offender..."

"Sir" Jimmy Savile: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Savile "... a predatory sex offender[4]—possibly one of Britain's most prolific..."

Brian is a truly vile individual, and the single best argument for the abolition of the monarchy.

14. He may die before the Queen...

Queen looks like she will outlast everyone...

Hello King William..

18. His friendship with Jimmy Saville

And how he protected that Baby rapist is an issue.

Every nurse, every orderly, every hospital worker, hell even Bill Oddie contacted the
royal family to tell them that Jimmy Saville is a child rapist, but Charlie wouldnt listen.

Now hes protecting Andrew another rapist.

Charles should be in Jail, he's a life long pedophile protector.

[tavernier]

19. Nah. Lizzie's got another good ten or twenty in her,

and she has no intention of handing anything over.

20. Good King William V it is.
