I don't know about that. Most of them tend to be pretty worthless, but they do have some worthwhile people. Prince Andrew acquitted himself well in the Falklands War when he *volunteered* to serve as a missile decoy in his helicopter so his shipmates wouldn't eat an Exocet. He also flew a number of combat missions in that war. He put in 22 years in the Royal Navy as an active-duty serving officer.
IMHO, Andrew is more deserving of his post than Kerry is of his senatorship.
aren't Wills and Harry half Stuart also from D?
Ten bucks says the old bird outlives Chuckie.
If "the Faith" is depending on a reprobate like Charles to defend it, it is truly in a precarious state.
No bet. There's every chance she'll do so. Her mother lived to 101, and Elizabeth shows no signs that she's any less tough that her mom.
Arguing over his proper title are they?
How about "Lord Tampon"?
That would be worth at least a giggle from Lady Camilla. ;)
The man should examine the direction England has been going in the past 100 years, and compare it to "where the Empire went." It is one thing to avoid persecuting the Christian faction that is out of power, and another entirely to walk away from the God of our Fathers, as he looks to be doing. He reminds me of my feminazi (former) sister-in-law, who loved every culture but this one and every country but her own.
The title of "Defender of the Faith" was first bestowed on Henry VIII by the pope, because of his defense of the Catholic view of the Eucharist against Martin Luther. Henry VIII later had Sir Thomas More and Bishop John Fisher executed because of their loyalty to the Catholic Church. It seems ironic that the non-Catholic monarchs of England have continued to use a title which came from the pope.
Since Latin doesn't have either a definite or an indefinite article, Defensor fidei could mean "defender of a faith"--so whatever faith the heir apparent has, he can be the defender of that.
Better yet, skip Chuckie and crown William.
Does the statue have something to do with Charlie's "United World Colleges?"
It has happened before. George III succeeded his grandfather, George II, because his father died before his grandfather.
Let me guess - the liberal elite Brits think Muslims will reciprocate when they're in charge?
" We'll be ever so tolerant now, and you'll be ever so tolerant when it's your turn". Dream on, Brits. They won't.
Christianity will be outlawed. Tolerance will be cease to exist. If Prince Charles and gang had been running the show in the 40's we'd all be speaking German.
He DOES look like Cindy Sheehan!!! ROFLMAO!!! Hey, So does Camilla!!!!
I'm not sure how stressful it is being a monarch, but the Queen Mum was never Head Of State.
With some help from God, Charles will never be king.""
From your lips to God's ears....
Is it Stuart or Spencer?
Can't keep the royal names straight.
Better yet, skip Chuckie and crown William."
Again- From your lips to God's ears......
How does that make her stupid? I've had several pregnancies myself and I promise you, pregnancy is a bore. It's the babies that are interesting, not the pregnancy. By all reports--some reports coming from friends of mine who know her--Anne is a devoted mother who doesn't spoil her kids.
