You’re correct.

The odds of Harry, Duke of Sussex, becoming King at this point are remote.

William, Prince of Wales, and his three children are all ahead of Harry in the succession.

Their children - and their descendants as well, for that matter - will all be ahead of him as well.

And the King is not unpopular - most people in the UK and the Commonwealth Realms want him to be King.

Some celebrities not wanting to associate themselves with supporting the monarchy at the moment, when it’s under constant attack from the left as a supposed symbol of colonial oppression... really doesn’t mean all that much in the scheme of things. I don’t blame them - why wade into that woke crapstorm if you don’t have to?

Thanks, I was pretty sure I had it right but consulting an expert is never a bad thing.

Unlike many around here I have nothing against England maintaining the monarchy. I see it as something that has evolved over the history of England and works rather well for England. It ain’t broke so it don’t need fixing.

I really think the major problem Charles has is following in the footsteps of his mother, the longest reigning monarch in English history. She was also pretty darn good at the Queen business.
Charles does have some pretty interesting ideas for bringing the crown into the 21st century. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. I think William will have a much easier go of it because of the steps Charles takes now.

As for the celebrities keeping their distance, you’re right, no one willingly walks into a sewer unless they have to. It would be interesting if some high level celebrity told the wokesters to stuff it and performed anyway.

How are things in Oz?
