I dunno about Queen Elizabeth, but Prince Philip is 90 and just had bypass surgery, he might be gone by year's end. Elizabeth is only 85 (remember, her mother lived 101 years). In fact, she's about the same age as Fidel.

If Phillip goes this year you can pretty much bet that she won't be far behind. I think she'll cave and give up with out him. Her mother was different. She enjoyed the attention and adulation she got and lived off that. Elizabeth grits her teeth and bares the attention. She would have been happier to be just Mrs. Mountbatten, the naval officer's wife.

What sort of King will Charles be, then -- the sort who enjoys it, or the sort who endures it?

 

[HB1965]

What sort of King will Charles be, then -- the sort who enjoys it, or the sort who endures it?

I think he'll be somewhere in between. I think he likes the attention ( I think the majority of his problem with Di was that he was jealous of her celebrity) but I think he also isn't interested in having his actions scrutinized. He'll find a way though to milk being the King of a Constitutional Monarchy for all it's worth.

 

[garbage can]

What sort of King will Charles be, then -- the sort who enjoys it, or the sort who endures it?

I predict Charlie will pass on before his mom.
