No I really do not like him the way he treated Diana at the beginning of their marriage was beyond disgusting
The way he tries to get involved in politics is way out of line.
If he wants to be political leave the royal family and stand for election.

He was dealt a rough hand in many ways. It's hard to forgive his cruelty to Diana but he is a very damaged person. In his own way he does his best to make a difference and works very hard. I'm glad such a lonely person found happiness eventually.

I think he probably is quite likeable.

His suit was just oozing money

Suit or suitcase?

They’re just on a totally different planet to the rest of us. They think that rules don’t apply to them. Boris Johnson seems much the same. If you send a child to Eton and they have their every wish catered for by lackeys, they are going to grow up with a warped idea of the world.
Im sure Charles is a nice man and well meaning, but he just doesn’t live in the real world. He appears to think that accepting suitcases full of cash, and allowing people to buy access to him is absolutely fine.

I like him & Camilla

I feel sorry for him. Massively bullied at a school he hated. Parents ignored his plight ("needs to toughen up").

And that film of him, aged about 2 or3, standing with his nanny to meet his mother off her train. He seemed to have no idea who she was

Then he fell in love in his early 20s, but couldn't marry her because she wasn't a virgin.... So they found him someone who was, but was otherwise entirely unsuitable.
Anne is cleverer, Andrew, mother's favourite, Edward the baby.

He's struggled through, trying to do what was expected, and more. And now people are saying, "Let William be King". Won't happen; abdication is very much a disgrace to the Windsors

I like them both. Couldn’t stand Diana though.

I like him. Aside from his work on environmental issues, he has actually been a wonderful dad to those boys. He just did it without tipping off the press like their mother did at Thorpe park and the like. Camilla has never put a foot wrong since marrying him. She’s been extremely dignified in the face of a lot of hate from the Diana sycophants and is an asset to the family.

What on earth was the matter with that photo? It was absolutely iconic and won't be forgotten... Diana, William and Harry having a joyful time with their Mum.

Charles is Charles and not connected with the real world.

Here's details of him pressurising Ministers to make certain parts of the Duchy of Cornwall exempt from protective laws that the rest of us adhere to. Ministers folded and gave in to him.
Selfish man.

That should read.... William and Harry having a joyful time with their Mum, Diana

Not sure about the clueless introvert, I think he was fully on board with the old fashioned view of the monarchy at a time when it was about to change. I think Diana was in love with bring a princess, lovely clothes and the centre of attention, Charles was an inconvenience.

I agree. The marriage was a mismatch. Neither of them was an awful person but they weren' t compatible.
The powerful love story is the one between Charles and Camilla. He looks so much.happier since they married and she is so at ease with him. Good luck to them both.

darmaka · 18/07/2022 21:22

Camilla and HM like him too
