What did Shakespeare ever do to the Duke of Whales? Anyway, I think Charles would be a better fit for Polonius, or better yet Osric.

As Shakespeare said, heavy is the head that doesn't wear the crown.

Nick, you’re a character, Lol!

I actually like Shakespeare and spent a lot of time in Stratford years ago. Presumably, you heard Charles’s very recent tribute to his mother, quoting Shakespeare (not Hamlet) but Henry VIII :)

““She shall be, to the happiness of England, an aged princess; many days shall see her, and yet no day without a deed to crown it.”” - video in link: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-36099669

“To be a putz or be putz, that’s not in question: Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer marriage to a horse face, or take offense against a sea of logic, and by opposing prove the jug-eared village idiot I be.”

Or something like that...

At his age, shouldn’t he play Hamlet’s father?

But not Yorick (yet).

Are you sure he didn’t play the part of Hamhead, a much lesser known character in the play?
