[Jo of Palatine]

If I could wish for one sincere answer to a question I'm allowed to pose to a Royal, it would be a question to Charles and it would be this one: How do you feel on knowing that you probably will live to see your son become the one responsible for the Duchy of Cornwall?

Background is this: Charles build up today's enormous success of the Duchy of Cornwall and he is the only peer in the UK who according to the law has to pass it to his son while still alive. No other peer has to live through seeing what his heir is going to do to his inheritance. There is the case of the Duke of Marlborough, who according to what I've read, took care that his heir, who has been a drug addict, cannot destroy the Marlborough estate. But still it's the nature of the game that the duke won't have to see what's going to happen. As long as he is alive, his inheritance is save from his heir. But what about Charles? will William follow his father's course when it comes both to business and charities?
