Speaking as his friend, no, he is not, and frankly I am getting sick of media misrepresentations and all out lies trying to give the impression that he is.
Seriously - it astonishes me on this site, where I thought most people had a basic understanding that the mass media isn’t always honest and tries to spin things, how ready people are to believe any garbage the press tries to present about the Prince of Wales.
I think he’s wrong on climate change, and I’ve told him so, numerous times. So I think he makes himself look foolish whenever he discusses it, but the simple fact is the man is a broadly conservative Christian who is utterly dedicated to the service of his nation. And because of that large sections of the media hate him and seek every opportunity to discredit him.
“any garbage the press tries to present about the Prince of Wales.”
I’m skeptical that Charles’ problem is the press.
If the impression given in the mass media that he is an arrogant nitwit is mistaken, Charles can communicate directly on the internet without being filtered, just like Sarah Palin does. It has worked quite well for Sarah.
I join all those wishing exceptionally long life to her majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
