Saying that, Marine basic is hardly easy as I'm sure you're more than aware of.

Very large drop out rate that's for sure.

I really can't believe how out of touch some people are.
The Queen will be The Queen until she dies.
Charles will be King unless he dies before the Queen dies.

Charles doesn't want to be king though. He's already made the decision to bow out, hasn't he?

I agree that the queen won't give it up though, she'll be queen until she dies.

Why is anyone surprised he left? OF COURSE HE WAS GOING TO LEAVE.

No. I don't know where you keep getting this from.

MrMoonX is the most annoying troll when it comes to this subject. Just spouts the same crap without taking anything into consideration.

There's nothing to take into consideration except they are a bunch of birth right spongers. Without the monarchy it would have no effect on tourism, so don't pull that BS card. We cannot be considered a true democracy until we get rid of them anyway

The thing is, it isn't a BS card. There are huge numbers of people throughout the world who love our Royal family.

Crazy eccentric Americans with rooms full of tacky memorabilia.

These types of people travel to England purely to visit London and see everything related to the Royal Family. If you think empty palaces hold the same excitement and mystery that attracts tourists then I think you are mistaken.

The way I see it, The Royals bring more money than they cost, they are liked by many, and they don't negatively impact my life. So I just happily accept them and the traditions our country enjoy. They do lots of charity work and make lots of people happy.

Why feel such negativity? Seems crazy to me.

Most people dont stay in the army very long. I only did 7 years. Your problem is? How about you join up and see how long you stay in????

What Lucky Bag have you got that information from?
No, no he hasn't, he's waited and prepared all his life to be King and nothing changes unless he dies before his Mum.

Clearly a sign that we are going to war AGAIN and he needs to get off the front line before he gets shot down, killed or captured.

Has a royal serving in the army ever been captured? Interesting google history lesson for me later!

And while you're at it Google both the Princes being involved in wars and not shirking their responsibilities.
Harry was pulled out at one point and then demanded to go back.
