Please make him King when the Queen steps down. It would be a tragedy to see Charles as King.

English monarchs don’t “step down”. They die. Upon their death, their eldest son inherits the throne. If there is no son, then their eldest daughter. If the monarch is childless, the throne is inherited by his next eldest brother. If the brother has already died, then the brother’s oldest son. The inheritance doesn’t skip generations based on looks and media-generated popularity.
I think Charles will make an excellent king.

William's (and Harry's) example for courage and military service was set by their father, Prince Charles. After Cambridge, Charles trained and qualified as an RAF pilot (fixed and rotary wing), and then trained and qualified as a Royal Navy officer. In his naval career, Charles served in a destroyer and two frigates, commanded a minesweeper, and also qualified and served at sea as a RN helicopter pilot. Charles sought to emulate the naval service of his father and uncle - the latter of whom (Lord Louis Mountbatten) rose to serve as Supreme Allied Commander, South East Asia in WWII.

William and Harry have also followed their father into polo, which Charles played competitively into his 40s. Polo and 3-Day Eventing, the other extreme equestrian sport, are two Windsor pastimes that require balls of steel and can get you crushed, paralyzed or killed in a hurry - a testament to their roots as military pastimes.

Whether you personally love or hate the Prince of Wales or his equally unfaithful late wife, Charles deserves credit for instilling the courage and dedication to service which are now exhibited by his sons. And when his time arrives, Charles will have earned his succession to the throne.
