The Future Kings and Queens


On the other side of the pond, the royal wedding is quickly closing in. What is different about this one, though, is that there are two queens in waiting, rather than one; a divorcee of Prince Charles will be in attendance, alongside the coming bride of Prince William. As William is the son of Charles and Lady Diana, there is a great deal of controversy surrounding any interaction Camilla, Charles' second wife, divorced, has with the royal family. More importantly, though, is the matter of succession, as many think the succession should skip Charles entirely and pass directly to William, when the current queen passes. Personally, I think that there is no reason for such an avoidance of Charles' being king, as he is of the line and has been more active in politics and other areas than any of the living royal family members. At once, though, there is a movement for Camilla to become queen, should Charles take the position of King; this would serve to restore the proper passage of the titles, and possibly mend the monarchy. Until any decision is made on Charles and Camilla, though, the world must sit tight and watch a joyous ceremony of two who may very well come to restore the monarchy to its past glories. Have a look at the article here.

I feel like Charles deserves his chance. Besides, isn't William a total baboon? Hasn't he gotten kicked out yet? I feel like William could play Russel Brand's part in "Arthur"
