Prince Charles becoming Commonwealth head

Republicans 'disappointed' Turnbull didn't oppose Prince Charles becoming Commonwealth head

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-04-21/british-republicans-say-they-are-disappointed-in-turnbull/9683...

there was a time when the thought of Charlie sitting on the throne was not something i wanted to ever see.

but hes now 69, old and grey and who knows how long hes left doddering about.

his life has been spent in service to his mummy, with many screw-ups.

what he did to his first wife, unforgivable.

but he endured the years of scorn, and has settled down into his current role of travelling carnival opener.

so let him be king for whats left of his life, it'll prolly make us apreciate his son so much more when he steps up to the plate.

i am a republican BTW.

Now I think it an even better opportunity to skip Charles and let William be king.

Charles can now concentrate on HoC.

From the link -

At a Commonwealth leaders "retreat" in the grandeur of the Queen's home, Windsor Castle, it was agreed Prince Charles would become the next symbolic leader of the 53-nation club.

the queen is 92, cant be much longer before she moves on, i think unless something strange happens charlie will be king.

Exactly - Symbolic Leader of the Commonwealth.

Read - Nepotism.

He is'nt becoming King - not quite yet.

Her Mum had another 9 years.

He will eventually - unless he passes before QE11 - or when the time comes - abdicate in favour of William.

Can't see that happening - he has been in line waiting all his life.

its a little like the Queen throwing a bone to her favorite corgi

'look sweetie, i made you head of the commonwealth, now dont bury it in the garden.'
