King Charles III will surprise us. The man whose family has served as the physical symbols of colonialism has spent his life trying to free his mind from the calcified prejudices of empire. Britain’s new head of state is a loud admirer of Islam, a critic of Western interventionism and a champion of multiculturalism who will win his country new friends — and some populist enemies — across the world.
The new king has for decades sought to free himself from what he calls “Western materialism” by immersing himself in the world’s second-largest faith. As the Prince of Wales, he threw himself into the study of Islamic textiles, gardens and architecture. But he did not stop there. The king has also studied Arabic to understand the Quran.

As bigotry and Islamophobia grew rampant after 9/11, he doubled down. “This planet’s survival will depend on you understanding that you can achieve unity through diversity,” he said in 2006 in Pakistan, going on to quote the Quran: “Only they pay attention who have hearts; only they believe (or see signs) who have hearts.”

Charles’s admiration of Islam is visible in his personal life and work. He laid out a carpet garden at his beloved home at Highgrove that was inspired by Islamic designs with the plants mentioned in the Quran. He is patron of the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies and his Prince’s Foundation’s School of Traditional Arts teaches a wide range of courses on Islamic traditions. He has made visiting Muslim shrines, holy places and even the hugely important Al-Azhar Mosque in Cairo part of his royal travels. The Grand Imam of Al-Azhar called him a “fair Western voice” on Islam and celebrated their meeting. Britain’s new top Royal diplomat — though he might not have said so

Kiss Britain goodbye.
He’ll do to that country what the Marxist pope did to the catholic church and what Obama started in the US - fundamentally transform (ie, destroy) the country.
I doubt a huge percentage of immigrants to the U.S. are from South America.
He’ll be 74 in 7 weeks. He’s already lived a long time and has circulation problems. Look at his puffy fingers.
With no immigration, we would have peaked at 250 million and we would be starting to lose population around 20 years ago. Our economy will be stagnant just like Japan. Their demographics doomed them and they are not allowing any immigration.
For those not keeping up with the Prince Harry drama...I expect that the RF..who plays the long game... will eviscerate Meghan now that The Queen has died
The new book coming out has already started it.
True Villainess.
I can’t decide yet if Markle will be worse than Angelina Jolie when it comes time to divorce Harry. Angelina is trying to completely destroy Brad pitt
Central and South America then. I have homes in Mississippi and Florida and both are being run over with spanish speakers. Maybe other parts of the nation are different, but in the southeast it's overwhelmingly hispanics.
I had a lot of respect for QEII, and found her funeral very interesting to watch. But I absolutely DO NOT want a monarchy in our United States. Never.
Can't stand effin' Charles though. He's the polar opposite of the Queen, who seemed pretty conservative overall.
Hope so! What a POS she is.
Unexpected!
Of course MEghan will claim racism.
LOL! Cute.
Did anyone know Megan had a black mother? I had no idea. I thought it was strange her father was black on that show.
If Harry had any REAL friends, they would have shown this to him and circled the orange zone with a deep red Sharpie.
Maybe, but she’s still better than the family she married into.
there were rumors that the word quietly went out that if a media site gave meghan a platform they would no longer have access to the RF.
I am seeing a distinct change in tone after the Queen died.
Supposedly (this is just a rumor) Netflix and Spotify are considering dumping Markle
I'd rather have a stagnant economy than 50 million third worlders on welfare for the remaining U.S. population to support. Drive through the middle of the country and you'll see that most Americans there have been replaced by hispanics. The U.S. can't replace it's population with third worlders and remain the same country, we'll cease to be a superpower and become a facsimile of Brazil.
this is an interesting twitter comment. I am sure brit tabloids have a lot of info they have kept back so far
