In fact it's downright embarrassing.

I read not too long ago that the reigning monarch has the power to declare war, make peace,; to give up or take over territory. Recognise foreign states and conclude treaties. The monarch can summon parliament or dissolve it.
Now that is what I call power.

Re: The Future King Charles in Spain
People need something to believe in in life, whether it’s a tree-hugging monarch, a madman in a brown shroud, a dead man in a cave in Afghanistan, or Manchester United football club.
Logic doesn’t come into it, you can’t go through life believing in nothing – and Prince Charles is better than nothing.

He has about as much charisma and character as a dead sheep.

It matters cos every time I'm watching the news with my Spanish neighbours and this cringeworthy character raises it's ugly head, I feel like hiding mine in embarrasment.
Can we not do an exchange deal for King Carlos of Spain, if we promise to come flocking back to the Costas to spend all our dosh ?

You're in good company, many Spanish feel that way about Letizia, the future Queen, after her "alleged" sex, drugs, and abortion revelations. They're all at it!

Maybe if we exchanged him for Berlusconi, it would at least provide us with a bit of light hearted entertainment and a good laugh once in a while, instead of constantly having to endure his and 'ers miserable boats, looking worse than two miles of bad road.

Re: The Future King Charles in Spain
When I think of someone from a privileged background, I somehow think of perhaps an envious lifestyle, but I could think of nobody I'd least want to be than a Royal, it must be an absolutely horrendous life. Unfortunately, they are born into it, they have no choice, not like you or I, we can choose to do with our lives whatever we fancy. As for marrying into the Royal Family, she must be mad!
I just dislike the concept of monarchy. How would the people on this board take it if someone announced that their family was better than all of ours, and as such, they should sit on their arse and we should pay all their bills?
What are the royals if not the ultimate scroungers off the State?

Yeah, they have their problems, I don't disagree with that.

I love it when people say that Charles is out of touch.... I don't see too many critics of him or any politicians running a charitable foundation to help underprivileged and forgotten kids. Still, don't let that get in the way of a decent judgmental Spain forum session eh?

We need someone in charge to sort out the chaos that would otherwise ensue. I suppose the anarchists would disagree, those clowns that smashed up Fortnum and Mason. They fly their black and red flags and haven’t got a fxxxxng clue what to do if they won.
In case anyone is wondering, communism didn’t work; they killed the Czar and his family and got Stalin, it cost millions of lives. Germany had a crack with that funny man with the moustache and millions more lost their lives.
Let all those people criticising Prince Charles get on their knees and apologise. The man is harmless, he just wants to grow his carrots in peace.

Re: The Future King Charles in Spain
I always shudder when I hear a criticism of our monarchy from someone who doesn’t suggest an alternative. There are alternatives, of course there are, and most of them are much worse than the House of Hanover currently looking after the plebs.

as mentioned before his Prince of Wales trust, does some good, with the problems that youngsters are facing, he seems harmless, a deep thinker, and basically a caring man which is very unusual coming from someone with such welath.
