this weekend. He hasn’t looked awkward or overwhelmed either. He’s been apprenticing for the job since birth, after all, the longest heir apparent in British history. But with a finite realm ahead of him that could roll over within a couple of decades, he’s a man in a race against time. Keen to make his mark, however shackled by the construct of constitutional monarchy, the paramountcy of Parliament and the strictures of a ceremonial role.
Andrew Morton, who blew the lid off the fairy-tale romance of the Diana and Charles marriage with his explosive book, “Diana: Her True Story” — undertaken with Diana’s clandestine involvement — reminds that, unlike Elizabeth, who was largely an indiscernible personage when she suddenly became queen to a deferential public, there’s nothing gauzy about Charles.
A vaguely populist monarchy may be the only hope for survival in an institution that exists purely to perpetuate itself. But that might also ultimately prove counterproductive.
