I've heard a lot of people say that they think the throne should pass directly to William after the Queen dies. Do you agree with this? Explain your position.

Anyone who says the Queen should appoint William as her heir has a very imperfect grasp of the British constitution. Charles is the heir apparent to the throne, and nothing can change the fact that he will become king the moment she dies.
I think he will make a good king, but no king has come to the throne in a less deferential, more media-intrusive age. He is going to have a challenge in maintaining respect for the monarchy that none of his predecessors have, and will also have to work to keep the Commonwealth united after his mother is gone. He is something of an activist - writing to ministers expressing his opinion - and he will have to stop that to avoid friction. But he is also more cultured and thoughtful than a lot of royals and I think this will be a good thing.

The Queen Mother lived to102/3, and the Queen shows no sign of slowing down. If she dies at around the same age as her mother (approx 20 yrs from now) then Charles will be in his early 80s. So, by the time Charles gets to the throne he may be too old to ever be King.
As for William being king..by the time HE ascends the throne, will it really matter?

I think what you heard is more plausible that "the throne should pass directly to William after the Queen dies." Charles would be like US past president Mr. Bill Clinton (BC) in the UK throne; be it for good quality or bad quality that BC represents! Long live the Queen!!

Charles is a huge function kind, look what he has executed with the princes believe. He works perplexing and gets others in contact interior the believe, he isn't purely a parent head he does actual head conferences. He has helped little ones to establish their very own businesses. he's a compassionate person. i'm sick of all this negativity it is observed the royal kinfolk. i believe that whoever retains dragging up all this old stuff relating to the royal kinfolk is jealous human beings having a royal kinfolk.

I agree that the Crown should go to William but it won't. I think Charles has always done what Charles has wanted to do and to hell with his subjects!! William, who seems to have his mother's good sense, has most the time done what is good for the nation and not what was good for him

I do not think he would make a good king. He has shown many times that he can not stop being a cheater. A good king to me in these days should show good qualities. I know that a lot of leaders are unfaithful, but he is just right down BAD.

A non-king, for he will never ascend the throne.
He has shown himself as a person of shallow morals and ignoble character.
It is my belief that his mother, the queen, should be Elizabeth-the -Last.

no it shouldn't be passed to his son, he is the heir to the thrown, and i wish the queen would just handed it over to him, at least he visits Australia and was schooled here, something Aussies deserve from the royal family is a more frequent visit since we are part of it and the queen has stated that she is now to old to visit oz.

A homely king who dislikes glass and steel, probably an improvement over most
