<p>[QUOTE="kentworld, post: 9785015, member: 35"]Edward VIII was a dilettante and a bit of an idiot. George VI made a much better king, so it was actually good that he abdicated. The less said about Wallis Simpson, the better AFAIC. I'm prepared to give Charles a chance -- he's following one of the most loved and longest reigned monarch in British history, so he's always going to be a second act. Plus, the Commonwealth is dwindling in number of members and attitudes towards the monarchy have changed greatly. He's got a full plate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
