This is just silly.

I couldn’t care less about him personally.

As for Charles’ [lukewarm support](https://www.readersdigest.com.au/culture/11-reasons-why-some-brits-dont-want-prince-charles-to-be-king) in the U.K…

“…a survey by BMG Research reveals that nearly half of the British public wants Prince Charles to step aside and give the throne to his oldest son when Queen Elizabeth II passes away.”
