No offense intended, but seriously, who wouldn't want to do business with the heir to the Thrown?

I have no problem with his inherited wealth. I also think this is a cheap shot since it was allegedly said 2 years ago and we really don't know the context. However, Prince Charles does seem to have a knack for stepping in it.

I think the continuation of the monarchy is important to British history and culture. I do think that the Queen's children have been particularly disgraceful - perhaps no more than any previous children of monarchs, what with today's penchant for tabloid journalism.

Their behavior certainly doesn't endear people to them - particularly that of the week following Princess Diana's death.

Dear Endeavor,

"No offense intended, but seriously, who wouldn't want to do business with the heir to the Thrown?"

Nonetheless, not every heir has done as well.

Just 'cause folks initially want to do business with you doesn't mean if you don't keep up your end of the bargain, they're going to keep coming back.

I have no particular love for Prince Charles, but in all fairness, how do we know this is what he actually said? I have seen too many things totally manufactured by the media, and I am highly suspicious of this quote, which seems to be designed to set the people against the prince.

Today's royals are probably no different than their ancestors. What has changed is that now the press does not ignore their behavior.

Same in the US - Kennedy's dalliances would make the cover of the tabloids on a regular basis today.
