Will Prince Charles bring an end to the Monarchy?
Will Prince Charles do for us what Parliament hasn't had the bottle to do so far? Europe has lost most of the monarchies which were around before WW1. Our little island has survived though; with our queen outlasting eight PMs by my calculation.
Prince Charles, the heir to the throne, is known to be a meddler though, and if he doesn't change when he gets the top job he might push things far enough for reform to finally take place. Sweden replaced the head of state with the speaker of the house, we could do something similar ;)
Would be an interesting situation if Parliament did want to remove King Charles III, as we don't have a written constitution and no real relevant historical precedents that I know of!

Charles I? A public beheading may just deal with the whole monarchy issue as well as lift the spirits of the tired masses. Just a thought. :)
Update: Interesting points in this BBC article about Charles being ridiculed; I can't see why the EU would ban the sale of seed from historic varieties of plant though -- where is the logic in that?
