Splitting Heirs

A little dance around Stonehenge As KCIII plots his revenge No longer ignored The King hones his sword Heads will roll as pseudo friends cringe KCIII's new horrorscope reads: "Guess what? Today, William succeeds! The stars explain Your drop of reign You plotted revenge but not deeds!"

Good. One Rico: It would make more sense and save the poor taxpayers a load for a second coronation to just crown Wills first……How long can Charles last? Selfish of him in every way.

At least Canada is smart enough not to replace HRH on their currency - for the time being! Aloha!

Off with his head! Camilla, his true love always, who’s close in age to Charles has always treated him as an equal rather than as someone she idolized. Royal family wasn’t interested in having Camilla as its princess. She was perceived as an “experienced” woman, royal family back then not suitable spouse for Prince Charles. Or not “aristocratic” enough to be a princess

Well, I don't know him, but I did not like the affair at all. Of course, it was such a public thing as well. It seemed like a fairy tale, and they would be perfect for each other. Then, it was revealed all lies from the start such a sad part of life for the royals. I hope he does a good job as king. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara

Your drop of reign, he's waited long enough to be King, perhaps too long. Clever, Limerick, Rico.

Despite his education and training, Charles lacks what it takes to be a successful king. Aloha!

Mahalo, Ilene! Not much chance of success for such a selfish boy in his mother's shadow! Aloha!

There's something(s) about him I cannot abide.
