If I had a choice, I'd vote for Harry & his lovely lady to be promoted.

I didn't watch the programme but from what I have seen re Kate & William they will do well enough WHEN their time comes but not before Prince Charles takes the throne!

Prince Charles has had to follow the rules as HEIR for the whole of his life & for him not to be crowned King is both unthinkable AND unfair! though as things are going I just hope he lasts long enough!!

Joan.

You may not agree with me but I believe that Harry has sacrificed his standing with the media to distract interest from Prince Andrew.

It looks like he might have run out of distractions now.

Didn't watch the programme as not interested in William and Kate, I agree with Joan about Prince Charles and I also hope he gets to be King.

I think they will be good King and Queen Consort too and Kate already knows what to expect when the time comes.

Sharron It wouldn't suprise me at all. Don't think Prince Andrew will be out the limelight now nor should he if what he is accused of is true.

Cynical me thinks it will be swept under the carpet re Prince Andrew, what else can they do with him? It must have been known that he was in the company of the Epstein bloke and if so why didn't they nip it in the bud and get him back home?

Well, I don't suppose they knew, any more than did anybody else, what was going on.

It could even be that Prince Andrew didn't know what everybody else was doing and he has hardly had a lot of experience of real people has he?

No doubt, most of his sex education was at work and that is never far fetched is it?

Doubt he was known back in the day as Randy Andy without a reason.


To go back to the question ............ I think William and Kate will do just fine. They seem to have found the right mix of what seems to be expected of Royalty, ie dignified, and the "common touch", ie friendly and open.

Charles??

well it has to be seen how he will behave as King, doesn't it??
