Long live the Queen...no really

She has been around for quite sometime!

Yeah...she has reigned since Feb 52, quite some time and there is still no sign of handing the throne over to Charles.

Now if he reigns as long as his mother how old will William be before he becomes king?

No, not really. I think much more highly of his sons.

I think it is a double of Castro. The guy is past ancient for crying out loud and he is still hanging around smoking cigars.

The only Head of State who has been around nearly as long is Castro. The Queen still beats him by one US President.

Well, her great-great grandmother held on so long that poor Edward VII didn't take the throne until he was almost sixty, and only reigned for nine years. Charles may have the same short term, or concievably could die before she does.

Ah, sorry. I thought you were speculating what would happen should Charles reign for sixty years as well. My mistook.

Any chance that Charles would decline the throne or be passed over in favor of Prince William?

I was 10 years old at the time and I can still remember our 4th. grade class all sitting around a brand new thing call a television and watching the coronation.
It was one of the earliest transcontinental TV broadcast.

Long live the Queen.

I don't think he wants the throne, it will get in the way all that shagging with the wife.

I see his father is today celebrating his 90th.

I do hope he received my card
