Completely out of step with modern society. Should bypass Charlie and go straight to William.
But that’s not how a hereditary monarchy works. It’s Charles or nothing.
Interestingly, the first bretwaldas (pre-eminent kings of what became England) were chosen by an assembly or parliament. Hereditary monarchy is not only anachronistic, it’s a product of despotic tyrants trying to secure their offsprings’ future.
Charles is probably more in step with modern society than Will but both are well behind Harry. He seems to understand that the monarchy has no place in 21st century society, other than bringing in tourist $$s.
