BRITS WANT KING WILLS ; EXCLUSIVE Poll Puts Him Top

PRINCE William should be crowned King instead of his dad Charles, says a shock new poll.
More than half of those quizzed called for the monarchy to skip a generation and pass to the Queen's grandson.

http://www.redorbit.com/news/technology/613877/brits_want_king_wills__exclusive_poll_puts_him_top/index.html?source=r_technology

THIS COMES WITH A WARNING :lol: A whole 1200 people were surveyed and The People is mentioned, although what their involvement is, I can't work out.

The Constitutional affairs expert does not seem to know how the British constitution works, that is worrying. :ROFLMAO:

Wonder, why am I not afraid for the future of Prince Charles? :ermm: :lol: What did they expect to achieve with that article, a blow? They miscalculated then. That kind of stories are bound to pop in everytime there is lack on news.
Btw, bet I can find 1200 people (wow! what a numebr!;) ), who will say I would make a better Queen for the UK then Her Majesty. Would it be enough for dynasty change? :whistling: :angel:

As you say, a good summary. Why should Charles pander to the media, they seem incapable of telling the absolute truth about anything. Even so called 'respected' channels like the BBC are guilty of jumping the gun or getting hold of the wrong end of the stick! The breaking news story where they give everyone the facts and then it has to be altered but, still differs wildly from Sky, ITV and all the other news sources. The newspaper headlines that with the absence of a vital word or the insertion of one gives a different slant on the true story! :furious: They make me :sick: !

Paragraph #6 - very interesting that Prince Charles visited Nepal with his late wife in 2001. Proof reading seems to be a lost art! :ohmy:
 
Don't know what they meant but I had a fit when I first read it.:lol: :ohmy: I mean they could check (if not know) a little and unknown fact like that!

PETA Vows to Hound the Prince Until the Use of Bearskin Hats Is Ended

Prince Charles is in for a bear of a time: A PETA member dressed in a bear costume has vowed to follow Prince Charles to all his upcoming public engagements. Waving a sign reading, “Save My Skin”, PETA’s “bear” will greet Prince Charles on Tuesday during his visit to the Warwickshire County Cricket Ground. The “bear” will continue to be present at every upcoming royal engagement until Prince Charles convinces Queen Elizabeth II to switch to faux fur for the Buckingham Palace Guards’ ceremonial bearskin hats.
