This dude is brainless (which could already be seen in his first choice of a wife).

And how about his second.... who should have been his first, had he had any guts in the first go-around?!

The bad news is that, by the time Charles was ''ready'' to marry, Crown law prohibited him from marrying Camilla. I don't claim the law makes or made any sense at all, but it is **entirely** clear on the point. Perhaps he should have stood up and done what his grandfather's brother did, simply renounced, married the woman he loved, and lived his life. But, sadly, he didn't, and we're all stuck with him.

Or, had Charles been of the temperament of, say, Henry Tudor, he might have done a sort of Johnny Paycheck on the law, and told the nobs to shove it. But, Charles is -- legitimate, if short, military career aside -- a bit of a weenie. That would never even occur to him.

Perhaps young William will put a bit of spine back into the monarchy. Who knows? Certainly not I.
