youth should be served

The Prince of Wales's title, though ancient, carries no established or formal role. The Prince, as the 21st holder of the title in 700 years, has created a new role through which to serve the nation.
The way in which His Royal Highness does so can, in simple terms, be divided into three parts:
(i) Undertaking royal duties in support of The Queen
This involves supporting The Queen in her role as a focal point for national pride, unity and allegiance, bringing people together across all sections of society, representing stability and continuity, highlighting achievement, and emphasising the importance of service and the voluntary sector by encouragement and example;
(ii) Working as a charitable entrepreneur
The Prince of Wales has been prescient in identifying charitable need and setting up and driving forward charities to meet it, and his 16 core charities alone require His Royal Highness to assist directly or indirectly with raising around £100 million a year;
(iii) Promoting and protecting national traditions, virtues and excellence
This includes helping to ensure that views held by many people which otherwise might not be heard receive some exposure. His Royal Highness does this through letters to and meetings with Government Ministers and other people of influence, by giving speeches, writing articles and participating in television programmes. In doing so, he is always careful to avoid issues which are politically contentious.

In addition to the Prince's Trust (already mentioned) he's involved in a lot of other projects, including organic farming for example. The Royal Family all have duties to carry out and Prince Charles represents the royals at various events around the world - visiting Commonwealth countries and so on. Some of the royals work harder than others (his two younger brothers - Andrew and Edward) have the worst reputations of the royals, whilst Charles and his sister Anne are involved in a lot of charitable work. The Prince's Trust not only works with disadvantaged kids in the UK, but provides real opportunities to young people to train and learn - giving grants out to help young people set up their own projects.
The Queen can actually abdicate the throne if she so chooses and there's been speculation on and off that she might one day. However there's also rumours that abound that she and Charles are not close and many suspect that she would prefer the throne to bypass Charles and jump a generation to Prince William. Some say Charles would not mind but imagine what a life he's had really, all his life in training to be King and he may get to take the throne.

Prince Charles, Has plenty do do just by staying as he is The Prince of Wales. He doesn't receive money from the privy all his money comes from his working land and farms in the duchy of Cornwall, of which Charles takes great pride and His farms and products are famous for being good, He is a great believer and backer of Organic produce,
The Princes trust He Set up helps thousands of young people and projects to get off the ground,
He also carries out Royal Duties to Help the Queen, just because he talks posh he can still reach the comman people .He is an exceedingly nice bloke and should be looked on as that

Prince Charles is the Prince of Wales and as such devotes most of his time and energy preparing his son for the throne and running the Princes trust.
The princes trust is mainly dedicated to the youth of this country and is a very worthwhile endeavour.
He is also openly opinionated about architecture in this country and has influence in the field.
I understand that you feel someone younger may be better to serve the youth but it isn't just down to the queen.

If the Queen believed that her eldest son had any qualifications at all for being a King, she would have gratefully retired years ago.
It is because she realises that he is an absolute twit and a waste of time that she fears to hand over the throne to him, as it would be the end of the monarchy if this supreme chinless wonder and his hideous wife/adulteress were seen as the First Couple of Great Britain.
I would make sure I was in London to boo any Coronation of this stupid immoral man leading his pampered pointless existence.
The recent story of his seven daily boiled eggs (so he can choose the perfect egg) only confirms all my fears!
Much as I despise the monarchy, I'd prefer the Queen to live to 105 and retain the throne.
As for what Prince Charles does....he can continue testing his seven boiled eggs each morning, and gazing at his hideous wife for the rest of the day.

Doing the wild thing with his wild old dear Camilla. And complain about the raw deal the press gives him. Youth is served; Wills and Harry are growing up.

Prince Charles can forget it. He'll be old as Methusalah when what's her face kicks the bucket....Prince Willian will probably be King.
