Yes if she wasn't once they got past U.k protocols if she had passed it would be all over the news.

Why would Charles actually want to be King? There doesn't seem to be a lot of benefit to the actual monarch.

Fun fact: as of today Barbados has cut ties with the British throne, and is now an independant republic.

Living in luxury at the public's expense is certainly a plus.

And he doesn't already? Doesn't he already have a 'court' of his own?
I got nothing to say here.

Control over vast amounts of wealth and land isn't a benefit?

No great loss. This is a country that - no joke - during the same ceremony that Christened their new government made Rihanna a national hero.

History. Prince Charles will be forgotten long before King Charles.

Yeah well, Charles I was a such a fuck-up he led to civil war and Charles II fought with parliament near constantly and fathered a dozen bastards. I'm not sure if Charles III (or more likely George VII) will be any more remembered than Edward VII (who ended his reign in a constitutional crisis).
