Legally and constitutionally he is, whether you like it or not - and yes, I can see that you don't!!

Up until now my experience has been a monarchy and looking abroad to countries with so called democracies. They appear to have so many issues with fraud and abuse of power than created by monarchs. Charles hasn’t always been my cup of tea but I am warming to him more than any of our current crop of witless politicians who may be candidates for presidency.

Sorry, not liking it dos not alter the fact that he is!
I can say this with every bit of confidence, he's not my king, Harry is my royalty in absentia.
Is absentia a word?

Apart from making it illegal (if it is still on the statute books and hasn't been amended); and nothing to do with the monarchy.

I'm not sure of this bringing more money toss. France has no monarchy and makes far more from tourism. When I hear people bleating on about the cost of strikes, what about the cost of a public holiday every time we gift one of these pantomime characters another special day. They not only leech off the public purse, but the income they make from the land they stole in the past is astronomical. The upkeep of these parasites and their many places of residence brings shame on a country that suffers from homelessness and scapegoating of people on benefits. The very institution is an embarrassment that cavorts about in fictional pageantry all made up in the 19th century. I'm not bothered whether Charles is a nice bloke or not, he's superfluous to a modern nation.
This reminds me of my high school days. Of course when you do the most ignorant things in your school you expect to be treated that way.

I'm off on a cruise around the Med that very day . . . providing the train can get me to Southampton successfully that is.
Yeah, phew. At least having a monarchy means we have a political class that is immune to corruption.

well if thats the case this coronation day is well worth dusting off the union jack blazer and eating a few scones alongside all other tax paying scum bags!
Whoa who put Lord Frost in charge of the negotiations? Abolishing the monarchy doesn't mean the German Windsors get to keep Crown EstatesPresidents live in very large properties, have to have paid security and would cost a fortune without the benefit of an income from the Crown Estates.
Yes, I am a royalist, and dislike the current situation since the late Queen died. I do not like Camilla or what she has done to the family, so that should satisfy those who call me a lickspittle!!
I spent two nights in London last June as part of the RBL contingent outside Buck House for the Trooping of the Colour. Not only did we pay for two nights in a hotel, but spent money in restaurants, on the Tube and train, so it all adds to the economy.
Walking through London, there were loads and loads of tourists, taking photos of anything that moved.
Guv'nor, we was all so terribly sad when our glorious queen died there's no way we'd dare to question the inheritance of our glorious king, we're ever so 'umble.
