You seem to have a personal animus against Prince Charles, which is fine, I’m just saying he has largely rehabilitated his image in Britain, as evidence by years of generally above water favorable/unfavorable opinion polling. Someone who dislikes Charles will, of course, focus quite a bit on all negative press about him. But my point was simply that the public at large has largely turned favorable towards him for a good period of time now, I don’t believe he has had lower favorable than unfavorable in over 20 years (he has fallen below 50% favorable off and on, but the unfavorable number generally didn’t top it.)
I generally don’t care to defend Charles or anything he does, he has little relevance to my life–I am simply stating the reality that he has a generally favorable public opinion and has largely rehabilitated his image from its lows. There are individuals who will always view him unfavorably–The Guardian for example is a Republican paper and famously has been for years. There are also people who have viewed QE2 unfavorably her entire reign (because some people are just anti-monarchy–which, BTW, I’m very much against monarchies and am glad we don’t have one here–so more power to them.)
