According to this particular femi-Nazi, HRH is a typically lazy, insensitive useless sexist male!
Prince William and Male Privilege
Can't see the problem myself! (apart from the "rescuing Brit Gis under enemy fire" bit)
Prince William and Male Privilege
So, let's recap. He admits, with a blinding lack of introspection, that, once he was making headway with Middleton, he quit trying to cook, forcing her to choose between a kitchen fire and taking over dinner prep. Kinda like a bad, very bad sitcom: The Prince and the Proscuitto. Even if he's attempting self-deprecation here, it's still sexist and insulting.
Here's why: He bothered to master searching for and rescuing Brit GI's in extremis, under enemy fire, but shepherd's pie or bubble and squeak? Too hard, just too damn hard without lives hanging in the balance (i.e. public recognition). Something tells me he didn't get all "lazy" and burn, overspill, or catch anything on fire on his harrowing job. On the other hand, in Penis World, when women get home from work (Middleton is middle class and, like, worked), or want to collapse on the couch after 12 hours of child care, "spending loads of time cooking" is no problem at all. Likely because no one will ride to the "search and rescue" if they burn, overspill ... you get my drift. But they will look down on women who punt and serve take-out. left overs, or microwave fare too often.

Seems like a good idea to me.
Full article: Britons want Charles to step aside for william - Yahoo! News UK
The majority of the British public want Prince William to leapfrog his father and become the next king of England, according to new polls.
More than half (55 per cent) would like the Prince of Wales to stand aside to allow Prince William to ascend directly to the throne, according to a survey for the News of the World

One of the greatest strengths of the Monarch is that no elections and pandering to the standard ballot box fodder is required. Buggering around with the batting order could well be the thin end of that wedge.

You cant mess around with a constitutional monarchy!
Prince Charles must be King (if he's still alive by then, i.e. outlives his mother) or it undermines the whole process of accession. All that would do is give ammunition to abolish the monarchy to those pond-life who would rather see our heritage and history forgotten.

The occasional republican in these forums cannot see that President Blair or sinilar (perish the thought) would never be cheaper to run than the present monarchy.
They would never be satisfied with draughty old palaces, and would demand a complete refit at least, to say nothing of the protection costs.

Her Majesty is a huge net contributor to the British Economy. She also has the best security in the world in the form of The Household Brigade, every man-jack of whom would gladly take a bullet for her.
The additional Police Protection Unit has already proven their mettle, when Jim Beaton took three hits whilst taking care of Princess Anne 36 years ago. Quite rightly, Jim was awarded the George Cross.

No Sir, by founding the Royal Navy.
I rather think that if you read the last post on the previous page vecvechookattack was approving of the fact that since Henry VIII, we left-footers have been excuded from the line of succession. Still, the British king can't be Pope either, so yah boo sucks to the lot of you
On the question of the poll about who should be king, it seems that most people in this country have watched so many trash programes such as Big Brother, X Factor etc that they think that they should be allowed to phone in to vote for their choice.

At least Henry VIII did something right
Slight thread drift but, whilst I agree with TTN that Vecvechook was actually winding up TTN himself, I would politely remind "HM King Neptune" that, whilst he has indeed some justification for his comment about King Henry VIII, namely"No Sir, by founding the Royal Navy", the Royal Navy is considered to have been formed formally in 1660.
However, King Alfred the Great is usually considered to have been the original founder of the Navy - in the 9th century!
