As ever launch

[AtIusvue]

Launches tomorrow.

So we will find out the prices and how the products will be sold

That's not true at all. What has he whinged about? Like his father before him he's been ahead of his time on issues like climate change, and he filled his time meaningfully while waiting to take on the role he was born for.

I think he has fully come into his own as king. I wasn't sure how he would be and he has such massive shoes to fill but I think he's doing a great job.

Frankly your comment is just bollocks,

I reckon the podcast release date was quite deliberate. Harry in the news, Meghan might flit across the minds of those who give her very little thought. Frankly, I don't think this will translate into audience for the podcast.

Charles very much comes acvross as a petulant whinger

You're the poster who said you thought it would be good if he died soon and who constantly uses abusive terms when speaking about him and others, so perhaps you would do well to think a little bit about how you come across, first.

Tbh any American who throws shade at another country's HOS at the moment needs too take a long hard look at their own back yard.

Not convinced that poster was American either, didn’t seem to know much about that country either!

Ah, it was just the times they were posting.

Wow.
Harsh review: stomach turning.

Did we as ever expect anything less?!

pengate?
petulant twat.
what do you admire about his kinging?
is it the slimming down of the monarchy?
is it the whole getting to grips with his brother?
Is it being directly involved with the chinese spy scandal?

Will the podcast interview anyone who wasn't born rich or who didn't marry money? Will it interview anyone who didn't become successful at business off the back of already being rich or famous? Will there be advice on writing business plans or gaining business loans or how to find investors? What about finding suppliers or manufacturers? What about finding tech people if you want to start an app but know little about that side of things?

No, it's all going to be mindfulness and empowerment guff, isn't it? (With a few personal details thrown in to get headlines, of course.)

I can come across however I like thank you.
I think he's a petulant twat and resent every penny I give him and happily I am perfectly within my rights to say so.

Ooh you rebel - off to the Tower with you 😂

None of that answers my question remotely.

Please provide evidence of occasions when the king has "whinged". 'Pengate' was frustration because the pen wouldn't work. The man was on a tour of the nations in the immediate aftermath of his mother dying, not that long after his father also died. Anyone with a hint of humanity would understand why he was pissed off with it. I'd probably have said, "oh ffs!" Are you an earthly saint who never gets irritated by anything?

Stop trying to deflect!

For the record, though, I'll bite. I admire his work ethic. No slimming down of the monarchy required now. It has slimmed itself down. Who else do you think he should jettison? Catch a grip. I don't know what he has done or is doing about his brother, nor do I know what he wants to do about him. Would you like him to send him to the Tower and be done with him? Would that satisfy you? (actually it probably would!) I don't know whether he has any involvement with the "Chinese spy scandal". It doesn't interest me so I haven't been following it either. Maybe you should do likewise as it's getting you so aereated.

I've politely answered your questions. Perhaps you could extend the same courtesy to me?

Why do you let him get so much under your skin? It makes you look very silly sometimes. So much hate for someone who has absolutely no direct impact on your life. I am sure he would happily give you "every penny" of your pitiful amount of pennies that go towards supporting the monarchy.

thought they were meant to be neutral?

We knew my elderly dad was dying for a year.

The day after he died there is no way I was in a fit state to see anyone except for close family and certainly not the worlds media.

I personally think it was a mistake for the official elements to be held in public.

My dad died a few days before the Queen (he was a republican and would have been ticked off about that!) and I felt for Charles to have to be so on show when he was grieving.

because I loathe the whole idea of a monarchy and feel quite embarassed that as a country we are stiol deferring to these people?
I feel frustrated and baffled that people are happy to give their own money to a billionaire and all his descendants forever to come.
Not that bizarre a viewpoint

" I don't know whether he has any involvement with the "Chinese spy scandal". It doesn't interest me"

This is what frustrates me.
You are happy to be ignorant of the shady dealings of the HOS.
Sticking your figers in your ears in case you actually are forced to confront the fact they are a self serving entity with no loyalty to the general public.

if you refuse to even read about the possibly criminal things he has done then i see no reason why you should be able to lecture me at all.
Once you have a little knowledge maybe you can have an opinion

he didn't have to be on show.
no reason at all why he couldnt have had a few days/ weeks citing quiet reflection before doing anything public.

"'Nobody knows what utter hell it is to be Prince of Wales,’ Charles said in November 2004. His idea of hell, it must be said, is unlikely to be shared by most of his future subjects."

aah, poor love

I agree that’s why I said it was a mistake to be on show so soon after.

1999? 😂Is that the best you can come up with? Hilarious.

Nobody with that level of spotlight on them is going to behave 100% impeccably at all times.

Ok, so he was "petulant" 26 years ago. Wow.

Coming from someone who can only back up a statement with a 26 year old example, pardon me if I'm not impressed.

If there are "shady dealings" as you hope, then these will emerge in the fullness of time, or they won't. Unlike you I am not seeking out alleged criminality.

He obviously felt it was important. I respect that.

Well seeing as you never have and never will be heir to the throne, you will never know the negative side of it. You would believe it even if you did. You are so determined to hate him and his family.

I find it so baffling.
