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.
According to someone on this site who actually knows Charles. Charles would fit in well here. His views are for the most part ‘conservative’, but we must remember ‘English Conservative’. There are differences. The biggest issue we would have with him is environmentalism. As far as Charles’s religious views go, again would fit in well here. Charles is personally closer to his father’s Greek Orthodoxy then Anglicanism but as head of the Anglican Church he must adhere to it by law. He also must do public PR things in support of whatever political flavor of UK government is in power even if personally distasteful. He’s a constitutional monarch not a monarch of old or a storybook one where his word is law. He’s a human being whose role is to be a symbol not a human being. I wouldn’t want the job!
According, to this FR member the view commonly held here is the ‘media view’ constructed from hearing\seeing\reading both MSMs on either side of the Atlantic. Almost totally a hostile\skeptical ‘artificial’ view.
Now should we take this FR member’s view uncritically?
No! However, he’s met him and is friends with him. Yes, he could be lying about that. IMO I don’t think so.
I wish Charles well.
