Coronations are very expensive. Charles is nearing sixty. Although Queen Elizabeth is in her 80's, remember that her mother lived past one hundred.......

While having tea with Charles the other day, I meant to bring this up, but we just never got around to it.
Seriously, he's spent his whole life in training. Why would he not take the throne? And as you say, the Queen Mum lived past one hundred, so Charles is only middle aged.

Edward VII was 59 when he ascended the throne (his mother was Queen Victoria).
Why should he decline the throne, he's divorced and remarried, why is that such a big deal nowadays, a lot of people in the UK (and even more in the USA) are divorced and remarried in this day and age.
I believe the majority of British People would not have a problem with Charles becoming King. The only people who have a say are those countries and overseas territories where he would be King (i.e. A large number of countries in the Commonwealth)

No I don't think he will, you can't go around picking cherries and just pass the throne to the spare. If Charles lives to succeed his mother he will indeed become Charles the VIII, however if he does not live to succeed his mother William will become King.

Technically, Charles isn't allowed to decline the throne - Parliament would have to pass laws allowing him to step aside (as they did for Edward VIII).

I like William.
But the monarchy is a stupid idea anyway. scrap it. they should live as regular citizens. nobody should get privileges just because they were born into the right family.

When, oh, when will Great Britain really become great and dump the monarchy altogether?
