Shall the Queen Step Down and Let Charles Rule England?

[Sarah G]

I just saw a documentary on Charles and the general consensus was that William will not leapfrog Charles. He has two sons then however many Will has will add to the lineage, there's no hurry to get Will in there and for him to provide an heir.

 

[Colin]

Or will she rule until she dies?

The Windsor Knot - Will Charles become king sooner than expected?

Who gives a fuck?

Colin, I have a question:

Is the Royal family mainly just a national soap opera; and in reality have no political power?

I will now chastise you, give you 20 and a to top it off!

I am under the impression that the queen is now just a figurehead position...

neither she nor any of the royal family actually RULE

ah, only the first born actually adds to the lineage
when the last "first born" has a child, that takes the place of the previous 2nd born, if i remember correctly

 

[Annie]

I'm waiting for them to appoint an Irishman or Welshman at the helm. Yeah, I know.

That is true, however her representative (the Governor General) in Australia sacked that country's PM in 1975...1975 Australian constitutional crisis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Monarch has no political power whatsoever. The royal family is one of our best tourist attractions. Simple as that.

Hahaha! Here's a clue. They'll be saying, who's 'ere.

If Charles had any brains or decency in him, he would do as King Edward did and abdicate. Edward apparently had many affairs and put any duties to his country aside to marry American divorcee Wallis Simpson with whom he had a long affair. My recollection is the affair did not go over well with the Brits. He and Wallis went into permanent exile somewhere in France.

Charles should do the same - abdicate so William can take the throne and Charles and his long time paramour and current wife can disappear to the hills of Scotland to pursue his various mundane hobbies/interests. He's just not "King" material and likely would be absolutely miserable carrying out any kind of royal duties.

You forgot to mention Edward's sympathy for the Nazis and his friendship with Hitler. Another reason he did not endear himself to the British.

 

[Trajan]

I'm going to go with the alternate theory that when the Queen steps down, William becomes King, and Charles is skipped over.

thats whats he gets for botching Diana's murder. To many loose ends, the dolt.

 

[Sheldon]

No. She should step down and end the monarchy.

It's a silly thing to have a queen.

That sounds slightly traitorous.

Doesn't Canada still pledge allegiance to the Queen, same with Australia?

Yes.

And more importantly, I just thanked you for that post and now you have been thanked 1,000 times.

I guess this means I have to rep a Canucks fan.
