Marry the woman already.

Yes, emotionally I agree, but financially, I understand. If Charles
gave up being king, he would be destitute. His entire fabulous income
would disappear. His huge "holdings" of Cornwall, hid major (very
major! ) stream of income would be taken back by the country. He
couldn't live in any of the palaces--Windsor, St. James (where he is
now) or Windsor. He would have ownership of some of the country
estates, I think, but no income to support them. He would have no
bodyguards. Innumerable royal services (the free plane travel, car
transportation,etc.--all gone. )When Princess Margaret, years ago, gave
up marrying her divorced lover, it was because she would have no
income, no residence.
So, to quote Nancy: "Does being king really mean a witches f--t
anymore?", the answer is, yes, it means untold millions/billions. And
(smile) the saying isn't "witches f--t", -- it's "witches t--t".
(Now, why did I bother to type "f--t" -- guess my fingers are just
old-fashioned--they seem to refuse to type those kinds of words.
