Sun, 27 Jan 2008 11:41:02 +0000 Michael Australia monarchy politics republic world http://gorey.com.au/archives/2094 Prince Charles has set a new record as the longest heir in waiting for a world monarchy, notching up a record 59 years and 74 days in his wait to be King of Britain, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
Charles has surpassed the previous record set by Edward VII when he finally succeeded Queen Victoria to the throne in 1901.
That’s a tough gig, enough to make anyone start talking to flowers.
Unlike some others though, I think Charles will make a good King. He’s not afraid to get involved with social issues and he seems to have a genuine sense of compassion.
Critics will point to his failed marriage and quirkiness. I say he’s human, and unlike most other humans, he’s well trained for the role he will inherit. Released under a Creative Commons licence. Visit the author for more great content.
