While I believe that Queen Elizabeth still has a long reign ahead of her (longevity runs in her family), there will come a day when she passes and Charles shall have to ascend to the monarchy. Do you think he will be a good king? Would the British monarchy not be better served for Charles to step aside and allow William to take the throne, given his youth and passion?

Yes why not - it's his turn next. At this rate Prince Charles will have a relatively short reign being King, given the age he'll be when he finally ascends the throne. Perhaps William will make an even better King if can assist his father first when Prince Charles is finally King.

It has nothing to do with whether he "should" be king or not. It's his birthright, I really believe the British think the sky will fall if that happens. The Order of Succession can only change if someone in it voluntarily drops out and I can't imagine Charles would ever do that. Camilla demands to be Queen too much for that to happen!! He also feels so guilty about everything she supposedly has had to go through that he feels it is her right to be Queen when the time comes...

It isn't just the British monarchy. He will be King here in Canada as well.
He will be King if the Queen passes away. Succession is hereditary. The oldest son becomes King. It is both an obligation and a right, and setting the crown aside for "youth" or "passion" is not even in the vocabulary of a constitutional monarchy, such as ours.
It is that simple.

It actually doesn't matter what I think ~ if he outlives his mother, Charles will have the right to take the throne, unless someone takes it from him by main force.
As for whether he would be a good king, I'm not sure. He is not as stupid as constantly portrayed in the press. He is acknowledged as an expert in organic gardening and is a regular commentator about architecture.
He is also active in running a number of charities which support young people to start their own businesses, to escape poverty and homelessness, and to develop ways of working in the community to support areas and districts which suffer from poverty cycles.
So he's a thinking guy.
I doubt that will make him a good kiong, though ~ after all, most of his job would be shaking hands and small talk with masses of gawping strangers, which would probably be fairly irksome.
Still, for many billions of pounds, I think I could behave for it, and I'd be willing to bet he can, too.
Cheers ;-)

The Queen is the reigning monarch interior the united kingdom. in elementary terms a reigning monarch could nicely be a king or queen regent. Charles is the inheritor obvious,the Prince of Wales;he will substitute into King whilst he ascends the throne upon the dying of his mom. it fairly is especially lots the comparable for the Queen's husband.Prince Philip,Duke of Edinburgh,despite the fact that if of royal blood,grew to become into not the inheritor to the throne and could desire to be standard as Prince Consort because of the fact there is not any such call as King Consort for the husband to a reigning Queen-Monarch. as long as there's a Queen-Regent, a reigning queen,there could nicely be no kings.The call king implies a monarch...and that activity is taken via the Queen. This grew to become into not a call as a poster stated,it fairly is the rule of succession.The Queen grew to become into inheritor to the throne of her father George VI and Philip grew to become into her husband and not an inheritor. He grew to become into never up for the activity of monarch.Charles,as inheritor,can substitute into King whilst the present Queen dies or will become so incompacitated that she would be in a position to not function.

William has the same beauty inside him as his mother. They both really care about the PEOPLE. I think this above all qualifies him as a good king. Charles always struck me as selfish and non caring.
