Is Mise,

Prince Charles has been viewed with disdain and contempt
by much of the public and the media over the years.

It's all been documented both in
books, and in the press. He has never
exuded the natural warmth and empathy that Princess Diana
did or for that matter his grand mother, the Queen Mother.
His jealousy of Princess Diana's popularity is well known.
He doesn't have the chummy manliness of his father, Prince
Philip, or even the serene calmness of Her Majesty.
And even Princess Diana thought that he'd not make a good
king.

He comes off as distant and strange, talking to plants,
and his ventures into the public sphere have often
resulted with disappointing or disastrous results. The tapes
of his "Camilla conversations" did not help his image - where
he wanted to come back as her tampon, et cetera.

Perception is everything with the Royals. That's why now
with the young royals - new images are being made - and
possibly a fresh start for them and for us to look forward
to. I can't imagine Harry or William having a butler put
their toothpaste on their toothbrushes for them in the
morning - as Charles insisted on his butler doing for him.
(Read it in a book years ago) - or having their newspapers
ironed for them.

'super Reptilian-human hybrid' can be entered in German lexilogos but comes out so horrible it's best put in the bin.

The Queen is just fine in widely separated visits and the G Gen is a rubber stamp copy of her rubber stamp. Bond, Charles Bond , may not fling baddies over the cliff in dinner-jacket with martini but he's not paid to by social security. A passive head of state is effective keeping an eye on the mud-wrestling and showing that civilisation is possible.

//She chooses to remain at a distance, until she see's the need for her to intervene.
C'mon, as if she would sit back and just watch and do nothing if things started going awry.//

Alright buddy, whatever you say: the Queen is waiting there like King Arthur, until Australia is in its moment of direst need - and then - Lo! Drake's Drum shall beat out a merry tattoo, and good old Queen Bess shall sweep in on a pure white stallion to save us all from the wicked lefties.

That about the sum of it, ALTRAV?

Did you know that there is a tribe on Vanuatu who worship Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, as some sort of divine being? I reckon you'd fit right in with those guys. There are remarkable similarities between your charmingly naive belief in the Queen as some sort of guardian angel and their cargo-cult beliefs.

Foxy,

"Prince Charles has been viewed with disdain and contempt

In a well-orchestrated attempt to belittle him, I have worked with sailors who knew him well, as ratings under his command, and they had nothing but praise for him, both as an Officer and as a man.

Never met him myself, but have exchanged salutes with him; I did meet his father once (at a car club meeting in England; he was the Patron), nice friendly chap within the bounds of protocol and he was a great sports car driver, some forty years ago.
Had a 1926 12/50 ALVIS 'Beetle Back' roadster, as I remember.

Toni, you just don't learn.
You bring on these attacks on yourself, well, yourself.
You continually go off topic to contradict and abuse.
After careful reasoning, I found a word best befitting someone of your stature and intellect.
Based merely on your interactions here on OLO.
I went looking for a word that could not be misinterpreted or mistaken as a reasonable description of who you come across as, and Google sees you as an IMBECILE.
Look it up yourself, as you are one of those people on OLO who always wants proof or links.
Well this one is real easy.
The link and proof are on Google.
Knock yourself out.
OH, and BTW, get back on bloody topic.
You've dragged me off topic again for the umpteenth time.
In case you have a short memory, the topic is;
Republic of Australia Yes or No.

//The link and proof are on Google.//

You actually believe that's a useful reference, don't you?

The mind boggles.
