Question

Will William be the next King of England in preference to Charles whatisname - borer and adulterer!?

Answer 1

Speaking as a Seditionist the answer is NO.... rebel my friend rebel.

Answer 2

It's a monarchy. When the reigning monarch dies, the next in line to the throne becomes monarch. It matters not whether they're adulterers or virgins. We are all mere subjects of the monarchy and have absolutely no say in the matter. And who's to say William is going to be any less of a bore or adulterer when he gets older? He's still a very young man and he is his father's son after all. Not so sure about Harry. What's up with that boy's hair?!

Answer 3

We can only live in hope. Charley boy has already proven that he can't do the decent thing and bugger off

Answer 4

Adultery has never been a problem for kings of England. They had arranged marriages and mistresses on the side. One of Camilla's ancestors was the mistress of Charles's great great grandfather, Edward VII.

Charles has been waiting a long time to be king.  Remember he only gets the throne when his mother dies. I would imagine he is in no hurry to see that happen.

Answer 5

It appears that the most popular places for monarchy is in countries that have lost theirs.

I'm not sure what you mean as a "borer."   Someone who bores the earth?   Or, someone who is boring.   If you mean the latter, then include 85 percent of both houses.

My guess, given Charles' age, is he may become king for a short while, as did Edward VII, die and leave it to a young heir as was Princess Elizabeth when she assumed the throne.

I really can't see Tony Blair marching down the aisle to be crowned king of whatever.

Answer 6

It was interesting to read that the late Princess of Wales' memorial was attended by Prince Charles and Diana's children. No one can doubt that the boys were Diana's can they?

Answer 7

Just think, when Charles and William become King (in time) both will know that wife and mother was also an adultress.

Answer 8

Why dont you mind your own business?

Answer 9

Only if Charles abdicates.  What is it with people today who think that someone should lose their inheritance because they committed adultery?!?!  Because that's what a hereditary title is...an inheritance.  Do you expect a judge to say to you "I realize your late mother loved you very much, but since you were a bit of a tosser we've decided you aren't going to inherit her belongings."?  That would be absurd.

The majority of kings have had affairs.  We should be thankful Charles infidelities are relatively limited in scope.  And lets also remember that Diana was no saint either.  She just had better PR people (and she was prettier to look at, which wins sympathy)

Charles inherits from Elizabeth.  William inherits from Charles.

Answer 10

The media is hyping up that Prince William is the next King of England. It is possible but by law, Charles is next and I doubt he will abdicate after waiting all these years

Personally, I think that after the Queen dies, Charles will take the throne but he won't be on the throne for long because he will step off after a few years because of his age and let William rule. I can see it happening when William is in his 40s.

Answer 11

FOr goodness sake do you not understand the concept of a monarchy?  Charles is the heir to the throne end of story.  Do you think we should have a president instead - my goodness we could have a Bill Clinton in charge oir a George Bush think how bad that would be.

Answer 12

NO.....Who in their right mind would want such a young man who is lacking in experience in such a position.

He also has a lousy taste in women if we end up with a queen Kate I for one will abandon this mad house of a country.

Answer 13

One can live in hope...

Answer 14

I would like to see William become king, but my fear is both William and harry will turn out just like their father and uncle.

They have been brought up by windsors so dont expect to much. But Charles is not fit to be head of the church, although as the church is about abuse he might fit in quite well. I hope if william does happen to become king, he can make it a modern role, He could open a nightclub in the basement of Buckingham Palace, he could call it the Barracks. But I think if William and Harry have any sense they should choose abdication and go and live in the sun somewhere then they can carry on living the playboy life. It would not surprise me if William turned out like Prince Albert of Monaco.

Answer 15

Unless something happens to Charlie, it'll be a long time before William takes the throne.  Charles is absolutely desperate to get that crown on his nut. Hope the Queen has a longer life-span than her mum. Not that I dislike Charles THAT much - I just don't want to see a Queen Camilla. I think it would be totally wrong given the circumstances surrounding Charles' divorce.

Answer 16

Quite frankly, I don't think it matters either way, except that William will be a better person morally. The Royal family has no power whatsoever and are just figure-heads, so even if Charles takes the throne, he can't do anything, good or bad.

Personally I think the whole family is screwed.

Answer 17

I really hope so! Don't you?

Answer 18

You have not asked a question. You have just given your opinion so anyone who disagrees with you will be criticised

Answer 19

I doubt it. You have to remember that they are raised to do the job.

Answer 20

The bad news is that in a monarchy the eldest son inherits the title etc in a republic we the people get to choose the head of state .We can't have it both ways can we?

Answer 21

Only if Charles passes on the opportunity and gives the job straight to Wills. Hope so!!

Answer 22

If Charles did abdicate, yes. He would make a fine king!!

Answer 23

Only if Charles abdicates.

He's next in line, then come William and Harry in that order.

Answer 24

Nope.  Charles will take the throne.  I wonder if the men of that family have as long a lifespan as the women seem to?  Hope not.

Wills will have to wait his turn.

Answer 25

Only if Charley boy dies. Its the ultimate in Nepotism as far as jobs for the family goes.

With a bit of luck one of them down the line will eventually ask what they have actually done to deserve to own a country and retire themselves into wealthy obscurity like a lot of the 'old' European monarchy's have done in the past.

I think most people would have a lot more respect for them if they did.

Answer 26

Probably not.  I think it would be a shame if William got landed with that job while still young.  He should not have to wait too long, his dad is 60 already isn't he?  Charles might even go before his mother so that would leave William with the job.
