Charles is showing some spine recently. He used to be a jellyfish. Interesting.

Its 1000 lashes spread over time. The guy went through 50. According to Sharia he can’t be lashed again until he heals.

He was rumored (not without cause) to have converted to Islam, and there was talk of by-passing him as king.

Maybe it was was Camilla or maybe the bored Prince just moved on to some other trendy claptrap, but he seems to be in better graces with the Brit establishment these days.
