I believe you are thinking about the would-be-King who went off and married an American. He abdicated.

Charlie unfortunately married a young, blonde, bimbo. After she died he married the woman he always loved.

I wouldn’t describe myself as a Royalist BUT I do say “Long Live the Royals” . As long as there are Royals we (New Zealand) won’t have to vote for some washed up ex-politician to be head of state.

Charlie is the same kind of royal as his mother, not glam, not pretty, not press friendly or a person the press LOVE but someone who works hard (in his capacity) and will continue the job his mother passed on to him.

Camilla is perfect for him.

The Blonde One is GONE. People will realise that one day.

The ONLY reason the Royal family want America to like Camilla is because they wet their collective pants over Di.

Charles is going to be a good King…if HRH ever carks it (by the time she does we may be looking at King Will…complete with daft Di genes!)

More awareness of something outside of the USA. Something that one hopes is a good thing and will be a good king for several nations, including Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Think goodwill ambassador.

An awful lot of people (you and me for instance) don’t give a shit about them either.

You’re right. We (Canada) will have some washed-up royal who drinks coffee through his ass, as head of state.
