With some help from God, Charles will never be king.

FWIW, I wouldn't want this guy defending my faith....

He's a closet Muslim (or at least those are the rumors).

There are two problems with this:

1) I have yet to see substantive evidence that Prince Charles has any faith in any recognizable relgion.

2) even if he did, the Anglican Church in England has no recognizable doctrinal stance, therefore no recognizable faith to defend.

which prince is it that's on active duty with the British military? Seems like there's hope for the royal line...

King Moron suits me. I think he looks too much like Cindy Sheehan. I don't care for anything he does and I think the best thing he ever had was Princess Diana. He messed that up royally too the dope.

Without the Christian faith, there would be no freedom to practice the other religions. Defend whose faith? Muslims? They'll never defend yours...

The story goes that Harry finally grew up....although being on active duty and actually serving (instead of some non-job behind the lines) would make a man out of him, if he wasn't already.

Prince Harry, who is third in line for the throne - after Charles his father and William his brother. Harry's already finished Sandhurst , William is still working on finishing.

I think Charles is playing 'em. A few years ago, there was a question of whether he should be "Defender of the Faith," the nominal head of the CoE, with his divorce and his documented adultery -- now he's got 'em down to arguing over a definite article.

I don't know the rules of royal succession, but since the Queen isn't in any hurry to retire, I'm going to guess that Charles might at some point become too old for the job; if that occurs, I think the older son, William, would be king. I wouldn't mind that -- from what I heard Williams is a sensible young man. And he looks a heckuva lot better than the rest of the royals.

Harry is half Windsor. The genetics of that inbred clan are beyond redemption.

There's been some in the past, IIRC - when the heir apparent just didn't want the job or was incompetent. That said, there have been a lot of times in Brit history when they really *should* have skipped a generation and didn't.

The Brits ought to just make Madonna Queen and get it over with already.

And so is his brother William for that matter. As I said, if nothing else, some of Diana's good looks rubbed off, at least to William. Harry isn't all that bad looking either compared to his father and some of the others.

And Harry doesn't have the corner on stupid actions and comments either. I remember his aunt Anne once declared that "pregnancy is a bore." What a waste of humanity she is.
