God save the Prince of Wales

I say this only because he needs saving. The Prince does great charitable work, but His Royal Highness really has me worried. My hope is that we won't be headed for that rarest of possibilities in the history of the British Monarchy: a King that will mostly underwhelm us. It happens from time to time, usually no more than once per century, but it does happen. Reigns like that of King Stephen, Charles I and Edward VIII. My fear is that Charles III will be one of these, that he means to test the mettle of monarchists the Commonwealth over.

In case you haven't been following the news this past week, Paris is burning. Other European cities are also under the threat of Islamist riots. Iran has point blank announced their intention to wipe Israel off the map. The "Kissinger of Islam" believes that because America is overstretched in Iraq, he can defeat the great Anglosphere Satan in a game of chicken. The Islamo-fascists are out to destroy us. And what is our noble Prince doing? Why, he's telling our American friends that they're being too confrontational with the Muslim world.

Your Majesty, we thank God that you were blessed with the quiet, plain modest steel of your being. Just like your late mother, Queen Elizabeth, and her husband, George VI. That stiff upper lip. That invincible quality. That relentless commitment to duty away from the glory of self. You remind me too of George V, who also deliberately shunned the political and media spotlight in favour of a quiet fortitude and plodding servitude. You have the mettle, Your Majesty; the endurance and the strength to be the longest reigning Sovereign in the history of monarchy on this Earth. By my estimation, another 25 years should do it.
