I am well aware of heirs who squander wealth; however, it is very difficult to do with the amount of wealth that Charles inherited. Moreover, the royal family's wealth is primarily in real estate, which is generally a very secure form of wealth. And, if I am not mistaken, Charles does not have the complete authority to sell off his holdings as other heirs would.
Dear wagglebee,
It's true that it's unlikely that Prince Charles could run his entire estate completely into the ground.
Nonetheless, he could have harmed his estate. Other royals have done so. Instead, he has enhanced it, significantly. In the case of one set of holdings, they have gone from unproductive to very productive.
That is an accomplishment.
I make no claim that Prince Charles is a business genius, or any other sort of genius, for that matter.
But he is not without significant accomplishments.
