skip over Prince Charlie when Lizzy dies The tabloids mention this so often I thought I'd check it out, as I thought it couldn't be done, and it can't, not by the Queen alone. It would take an Act of Parliament, and nutty as Charles can sound, it's not very likely. Too bad :-/

How stupid is this inbred Brit? Does he think the "islamic way" will allow the monarchy to exist when they take over the British Isles? .

Let us all hope & pray that Queen Elizabeth outlives her son -- which, considering that her mother lived well past 100, she may well do. I suspect that after many years of listening to her son's foolishness, she intends to do it.

Personally, I wouldn't be so deprecating about Prince Charles. There was a time when I never thought that highly of him. But I happened to come across a televised documentary about him a while ago and was very impressed with his views and insights into much of what ails the world today. He heads many charities and organizations which work for the good of many. His Prince's Trust is an excellent example in this regard, where hundreds of young people have been given a chance in life considering that many of them were on the road to nowhere through drug addiction etc.. And he does his charity and humanitarian work with the co-operation of many powerful and well placed business leaders. I believe he's an excellent facilitator who knows how to bring together those individuals who are best placed to be the most effective. I also believe he has more affinity with his fellow man than his Mother, who is very much a traditionalist and has allowed that to keep a distance between her subjects and the monarchy. Charles had a very strict upbringing with very little emotional contact with his parents who devoted much of their time and effort to visiting the Empire while Charles spent most of his youth in boarding schools. He did not make the same mistake with his two sons who were brought up in a far warmer and natural family environment, which has manifested itself in two fine young men, especially as we see it in his oldest son, William. Even though Charles’s marriage to Diana did not work out, a fair amount of the credit to creating a more natural and loving family home must go to Diana. Testimony to that, amongst other aspects, was shown when many thousands of her countrymen and countrywomen lined the streets and byways of England to pay their last respects when she took her final journey. It was through the disapproving pressure of her subjects that eventually persuaded Elizabeth to make a greater effort in acknowledging the tragic passing of her daughter-in-law.
