Something else I hope they’ll address in this summit which obviously they would not make public: how long should Charles be king? Should he plan on an abdication at a certain age but to give William and Kate more time with their children - that he didn’t have growing up? If he is really as unpopular as polls say, he will also need to be a pragmatist like his father so that the monarchy doesn’t go down the tubes. I cannot see him suggesting that William should be king after HM passes on, but unless he becomes super popular, I can’t see him sustaining the monarchy until his death. So many other monarchs in Europe have stepped aside to retire. I cannot see HM doing this but I hope that Charles will at some point.
What do others think?
You asked, so....Charles should be King until he dies or isn’t capable, just like anyone else. I’m sorry that the public can’t find it’s way to even tolerate him, but it’s not an elective post and Charles is not going to make any kind of change to that end.
There is nothing to address. When HM passes, Charles will become King, with no modifications to his reign.
