King Charles....What kind of a king would he make?

[Wacky Racer]

As per thread title.

Actually, I quite like him, I know he talks to plants etc but I think he is reasonably in touch with his subjects...has toured inner cities for example, served in the RN, I mean you have got to be realistic, with his upbringing you would hardly expect to see him having a pint in the Dockers Arms......

Whilst I have a certain amount of respect for the fellow, the longer 'er madge holds on, the better it seems to skip a generation and go straight to King Will.

This. Charles is as mad as a box of frogs. He is a proper enviroMENTALIST but Will's seems to have some of his mums personality in him.

So Will will be as mad as Diana then...eeek!

If his mother goes on like her mother did I doubt he will be around when the time comes to take up the crown.

(anyone else think this was about dogs?)

[grumbledoak]

Given the duties these days, I think he'd make a great king. Not sure it'll happen, now, and he probably wouldn't be 'King Charles' if it did.

Isent it a definate that is going to go stright to "King Will".
I just want to see what the money will look like.

[Cock Womble 7]

Surely he's a Spaniard and therefore not eligible to become a monarch?

I prefer him as plain old MrWill.

[Cock Womble 7]

"King Charles Spaniard" - get it?

[drivin_me_nuts]

Head and shoulders above his ancestors methinks.

It sounds a bit like "Spaniel".

A howler of a gag! Still, your bark's worse than your bite...

The problem you have to remember is that if QE2 outlives Charles, then we don't get Will, we get King Andrew and after that Queen Beatrice.
In other words Charles has to succeed his mother for Will to get on the threone

[RosscoPCole]

According to this BBC news article (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4557924.stm) he would be King George VII because of the assocciation with King Charles I & II with some of the bloodiest times in the monarchy's history.

Really? Since when? I thought it was a straight succession?

By the way, as an interesting aside I was reading up on this the other day and Wikipedia list the line of succession into the thousands, someone clearly had waaaaay too much time on their hands.

A short reign is the more likely scenario. The last time that an elderly monarch popped off to be succeeded by her son who was an old man himself by then, was 1901. Edward VII had the job for 9 years.

He is after all 22 years younger than his mother and they appear to be a longlived family on both sides and genders.

[deevlash]

He's pretty awful really, he pontificates on a lot of things he has no experience or expertise in and his position means he is taken seriously. His ramblings will only be given greater credence when he's king.

Wills will be a bloody boring king though. King Harry would be good.
