Guy ain't never worked a day in his life or had to pay for anything
And has the military and police protecting his sorry butt all his life as if it was some kind of national treasure
Why should anybody care what the hell he thinks

-- Although I agree on your last sentance, Charlie did serve in the Brit military. I believe that he did qualify as an RAF fighter pilot and earned jump wings with their airborne, he then went back to their naval college and was commissioned in the RN also (I may the sequence wrong). He continued the military tradition of his father and brothers (one of his brothers, Andrew I think, was a pilot in the shooting war at the Falklands). I believe that his sons are at Military Academy at Sandhurst now.
Say what you will about the priviges and pomp, at least the Brit royals have a tradition of sevice. Unlike the American "royals", that tradition seems to have died out a generation ago. When was the last time a Bush, Kennedy, etc. volunteered for the military?
His personal protection is probably no more (or less) than the Bush Twins or Chelsea receive.
He also started many of the charities and projects that Dinah got the credit and face time for.
Unfort, he has turned radically left at the same time as his islamic tendencies have grown. Not to provide an excuse, but recall that he would have been around 8 (ie just starting to pay attention to things) when Egypt (with US backing) forced the Brits to surrender during the Suez crisis. To him, the islamics might be heroic underdogs.
