Hardworking and Frugal?
I suppose that marketers think they can sell anything to people. After a poll indicating that most Britons don't want Prince Charles to become King Charles, there is a plan to "repackage Charles as hardworking, frugal and politically sensitive in an urgent bid to put recent damage to his reputation behind him." I wonder how they think they can repackage a man who has a valet squeeze his toothpaste for him as hardworking and frugal.

Winston Churchill once said that he never put his pants on without help until he was 21. He turned out OK.

Prince Charles is 55. How much longer does he need to grow up OK? His own son, Prince William, will be 21 this year.

If the Monarchy is to be saved, the Queen has convince Charles to step down and make James king instead.

I assume you mean William, and I agree with you. Actually, she doesn't even have to do that. She can either abdicate in favor of William or name him as the heir and bypass Charles altogether. She doesn't have to convince Charles of anything.

Toothpaste? Not to mention squeeze something else....if there is a God of Taste left, we won't be seeing Diana's home movies anytime soon.
