“Nobody wants Charlie to be king (except Camilla)”

Not true...

“The only thing aristocrats were ever good for was their willingness to fight for king and country, and their military prowess. Lose that, even now, and they’re just a drag on the economy.”

Actually, Harry DOES want to fight. And the royal family only cost each taxpayer 61p ($1.20) a year (far less than most presidents), but you cannot put a price on what we (and the people of the other 15 countries of which she’s head of state, and the 53 commonwealth nations) get in return.

Harry may want to fight, but if he doesn't or can't, that won't matter in the long run.

From everything I read, Charlie's not a popular man; he's certainly a complete buffoon who gets worse as the years go by. I'm just not impressed by the family - hasn't been a clever one since Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. I suppose it's heritage of descent from 4 of the sureties for Magna Charta.
