As a Briton, and a theoretical Monarchist, I have to say ... you're quite right. BTW the BBC socialists keep telling us in the UK that Charles is lecturing Bush on Kyoto, of all the damn things. I hate the BBC so much.
Quite correct.
Edward VIII was forced to abdicate, not because of Mrs. Simpson, but rather because of his shocking Nazi political views.

Makes me glad we won that little dust-up back in 1776.
Have you checked recently?
But, I agree. Charles will never be King. If they have to put Elizabeth in a deep freeze and pull her out once a year for ceremonial occaisions in order to keep Charles off the throne, that is what they will do.
Those boys can't grow up fast enough...
William will be our next King. Long live King William V.

***He favours an "integrated, spiritual view of the world in a way we have not seen fit to do in recent generations in the West".***
And, who, may I ask will decide just what the "integrated, spiritual view" is to be? It sounds suspiciously like the U.N. announcement that there should be only one religion. Does Charles hope to be the Pope of the Worldview?
I would say the same for royalty...

It's probably the same necklace. Sapphires that big don't grow on trees, you know.

What, you mean the blue velvet, white lined, long bell-sleeved, jewel necked, knee-length bag, as opposed to the elegant, cap sleeved, v-neck, floor length, classic dark blue silk evening gown with flared hem? Yeah, I see what you mean.
Because Doddi was cuter then he was.
I think the point he is making is that western society should rediscover its spiritual roots and move away from the current vogue for materialism- hence his interest in Mt Athos etc. The impression I get of Charles is that he is extremely interested in spritual contemplation- I believe that he also takes an interest in Bhuddism.
One might say, his mount..
Diana: Short sleeved long dress with off the shoulder plunge neckline.
Aside from the fact they were both dresses and off the shoulder like most evening gowns I see no resemblance.
Have they ecer been seen together?
"ever"
"He is, however, a blithering idiot."
I don't think he's blithering. At least not yet :)
Ummm... no. It was Simpson all the way. Edward VIII could have married her if he accepted it'd be a morganatic marriage, but he wasn't willing to agree to this. His political views weren't all that different to George VI's really- the King after all reportedly wanted to sort out the European crisis in 1939 by going over and talking to Hitler as "one ex-serviceman to another".
The whole Simpson thing was a handy excuse as the establishment didn't like him much, but rumours of pro-fascism weren't the reason for him being pushed.
