I'm not sure whether Charles will ever become king on not. In a way I want to say: Yes, I think Charles will become king based on the fact that his grandmother lived a long time and his mother seems to be in good health currently, and if her health does decline she will also live a long time too. Therefore, he will also live a long time, which means that he could rule as king for sometime. However, I also want to say: No, I don't think Charles will not rule as king because he is almost 60 years old, who knows how long Charles will live, and who knows how long the Queen will live also. I think if Charles was to ever rule as king, I think it would be very short. However, it would depend on how long he lives and/or what he decides to do (but I think it would be more likely how long he will live). I have mix feelings whether Charles should be king or not. In a way, I would rather see William as the next king instead of Charles.

I don't really put much stock in who rules or royalty in general. But it depends on how long Queen Elizabeth II lives on. I don't have a particular need or interest in seeing Charles be King and reign. So I hope the Queen lives on for quite a long time.

Was the wedding shown on television this morning in the U.S.? I only saw the last 10 to 20 minutes or so of the ceremony, I believe the ceremony was after the actual wedding, because I had woken up late this morning. Was CBS on the channel televising the ceremony this morning? I ask because I couldn't find it on the other channels (ABC, FOX, and NBC).

The wedding wasn't televised, but the service of prayer and dedication was. I think it was on CNN (I hope so, anyway, because that's the channel I recorded!).

I don't want Charles to be king either because he has made too many mistakes in the past. Since William has not made any major mistakes like his father, I think having William as the next king would be for the best.

Charles hadn't made many mistakes at William's age either. William's too young for us to really know what he's going to turn out like. I hope he's more at ease with himself than either of his parents have been, but time will tell.

Remember that at 22 Charles was seen as the most popular member of the Royal Family and he held that position until after his wedding. It wasn't until about 1985/6 that attitudes started to changed as he and Diana spent time apart and the press started to query that. That, of course, is about the time by which he claims that the marriage irretrievably broken down. Of course Diana had taken over as the most popular member of the family but everybody seemed to still like and even love Charles. In time people may turn against William. We don't know what the future holds and to wish the throne to pass over Charles would be difficult as well as unfair on both Charles and William. Charles has worked hard for his country and William is entitled to have a life before assuming those burdens. At this stage William hasn't really done any royal engagements or had a chance to do anything to upset the people but .... |

This is the about the time that Charles claims is when the marriage had irretrievable broken down and he started to really become grumpy. I hope that the people give Charles and chance to show how happy he is with Camilla and how much better it is to have a happy Prince of Wales rather than an unhappy one. |

But, in my opinion, I think that even knowing that eventually, someday heīll be king, I donīt think William is ready or want to be king....heīs too young and not prepared.....if he was, certainly, the Queen would allow him to it.....

As for Charles king i donīt wonīt that he becames king because: Camilla will be queen; for me, he is (and sorry if someone donīt like this) stupid and i also think that a lot of people have bad opinions of him, so if he becames king the British monarchy will have problems. And maybe itīs time to modernizate the monarchy, and Wills is the best chooise! |
