Will Prince Charles ever ascend to the throne?

The guy is nearly 70 years of age and is still waiting. What's with the Queen and Prince Philip, can you imagine being 70 and still having both your parents alive.

I think he should step aside when the time comes and allow William to take over. King William of Windsor followed by his son King George VII.

The reality is that due to better health care and a lack of guillotines anymore that the king queen will most likely always be an OAP. I think Charles will be a great king for us.

I heard he's running for election when Higgins finishes in 2018...

Charles is nearing 70 so pretty unlikely William will be an oap by the time he gets a crack at being head of the spongers. Charles would have to get to over 100.

I think the Queen Mother lived to 102.

What do they feed these people in Buck Palace?

Gawd bless er

The best food, living conditions, health care, unlimited resources and never having to work might give them a slight edge on the rest of us.

It's hardly worth his while now!

The Queen Mum loved her jar and smoked cigarettes all her life though.

I think there is some sort genetic influence in the Windsor Family. They're going 'Live Foreveeeer', as Noel Gallagher says.

Why would he use the upstairs toilets?

Why would he be great for us? Or maybe you're British?

Even as trolling goes your interest in, and admiration of, the blood-based, blood-soaked, profoundly anti-Catholic and anti-Irish, anti-democratic British monarchy is always disturbing.

Regardless of opinions of the British monarchy, Charles has been in training for the job all his life.

There is no way he'll pass on the job

I didn't know QEII or even the House of Windsor was "profoundly anti-Catholic", what has she said or done? Didn't her granddaughter, Anne's daughter, marry a Catholic?

You don't seem to know what godwinning a thread means. You can't, for instance, "godwin" a thread that's about the Nazis. But you clearly don't like your sectarian, Irish-hating cult being criticised so I'm glad to oblige.

DEFTLEFTHAND · 17-12-2016 09:33AM

The monarchy actually had nothing to do with vast 'bloodshed'caused by the British Empire as they improved every facet of living in wild lands during the colinisation period.

The Magna Carta, the unofficial constitution of England. The formation of a Parliament in later years of 'Commoners' who were democractically elected by the people.

Teyla Emmagan · 17-12-2016 09:41AM

Best health care in the world. They do seem to have good genes to be fair. And Prince Philip only married in and he's incredible for 95.

There are plenty of people who have hardly worked a day in their lives who die much younger so I don't know how much of a factor that is. Must be great to never have to stress about money though.

Well, perhaps you should read a few current British laws and ask yourself questions like: would your one be on the British throne if, say, she had become a Roman Catholic?

Go for it and tell us about this non-sectarian British monarchy.

If the royal family had nothing to do with the bloodshed because it is in fact only the symbolic head of the British nation, why should it get the credit for improving the lives of subjects in colonised lands?

Oh yes Prods to the core. That dates back from Henry VIII leaving the 'One True Faith' when the Pope of the day would not grant him an annulment for one of his marriages.

That rule has only been revised in very recent times. Now days a member of the House of Winsdor can marry a Catholic.

Well, obviously, she didn't make the law...but you know that.

In fact, during her reign the centuries old ban on Monarchs marrying Catholics was ended.

It sounds like you haven't read much yourself.

Go for it and tell us how QEII is "profoundly anti-Catholic".

Just curious, is there not a British website to discuss these things? The majority of Irish people have zero interest in Monarchies. Ireland (Republic of)

You would probably get more interest from their subjects on the matter.

Loads of interest in this....Did you not see all the threads about the Presidental race in America? England are our closest neighbours and biggest trading partners. To suggest we would have no interest in what happens with their monarchy is just ludicrous.

That's the truth. Take off the green tinted spectacles and study history with an objective mindset.

Has Charlie a better chance of being King than Gerry Adams has of being Taoiseach.

In related news an ugly fcuking dog just made a big **** on a dustbin across the road.

Ah, the "good Nazi" defence: the institution may be iniquitous but he/she personally was not even if they benefit directly from it. Although you appear to be denying the explicit legal reality of anti-Catholicism upon which the British monarchy, and the British state, rests today in 2016. Nothing much anybody can do about that denial in the face of reality, though.

Oh, so now she's responsible for initiating legislation. Very good then. You mean that legislation in 2013, 60 years after she became Queen of England? 60 years - yes, she sounds positively brimming in love for Catholics. And the same 2013 legislation which reiterated, clearly, that Catholics could not become head of the British state? Curious how you missed that part of your lovebombing of your supposedly non-sectarian British monarchy.

Act of Settlement 1701

Succession to the Crown Act 2013

None of us here have ever seen a Coronation ceremony.

I'm looking forward to it. I think they have something called the 'Vigil of the Princes' on the night before the deceased Monarch's burial. Kinda of like a Wake here in Ireland

All the monarchs sons guard the coffin all night long.

Once the deceased monarch is in the ground the heir will ascend to the throne in a magnificent ceremony of typical British pomp and pageantry.

Getting you to run to a thread and self destruct is about as easy as dangling a thread in front of my cat.

Will Prince Charles ever ascend to the throne?
