Meddling Prince morphing into Mousy King

Royal watchers, talking heads, even newbie King Charles III himself, advise his meddling days are over. For the last half century Charles has been known as the Meddling Prince, with his blizzard of memos to governmental officials on how to improve Britain, indeed the world.

I grew to idolize Prince Charles decades ago with his pronouncements on saving the planet thru environmentalism and his railing against ugly architecture. He said he protected the environment because he feared his grandkids coming to him years on saying, “Grandpa, why were you silent when the planet was dying?” If everyone thought like that, Mother Earth would have a chance.

Had Charles the say, there would be no monstrous, unusable Soldier Field defiling the lake front in Chicago.

Charles was always portrayed as a bit kooky in his concern for peoplekind. When it comes to improving life on earth, I’ll take kooky any day.

That brings to mind how the chattering class is enthralled that Charles will button his lip and pen, modeling his behavior upon dear mama, not uttering one political pronouncement of value in 70 years.

Imagine instead of that royal reticence, the Queen said this to then Prime Minister Tony Blair when he informed her at their weekly chat in early March, 2003, he was joining in lockstep with George W. Bush to attack Iraq: “Tony, my boy, if you dare bring Britain into this criminal war by that lunatic in America, I’ll go on national TV and call you out for the war criminal you’re planning to become”.

Charles will have his chats with newbie PM, Lizz ‘I’m ready to fire the nukes’ Truss. Britain’s economy is in freefall from their tagging along with America’s proxy war against Russia. Nuclear war is on the horizon. For humanity’s sake, I hope Charles III will revert back to meddling Charles, and inform PM Truss the facts of war and peace.
