It seems obvious that the queen long ago decided Charles should not be king. If she had a competent successor, she would have abdicated long ago. She seems determined to remain queen until such time Charles becomes physically/mentally unfit for the job.
William will be the great king his father never could be.
Good.
It is interesting that Lord Monckton and his father before him were valued advisers to the Royal family. The Queen listens to him and apparently appreciates his advice.
The whole Monarchy think stinks to me. But of the Monarchs I have observed in my lifetime, the Queen of England is a classy lady.
