    I thought Queen Elizabeth has stated that Charles will no inherit the throne and the next in line was The Fresh Prince William?

    I may be wrong, but wasn't the Queen unhappy with how Charles went about his personal life and bringing down the name of the monarchy? Or something like that?

    I don't think she has that authority. Sounds like a House of Lords issue. If King Ralph is accurate, they can even chose to grant it to another house/family?

    Everyone pretty much wants Will to be next in line. The Queen can only petition Charles to give up right. Its up to him to make that decision.

    I just watched the Memphis VS San Antonio Game 6 highlights on nba.com. At the start there were a couple of fans in the crowd with large cardboard heads of Will and Kate wearing Memphis headbands.

    The voiceover guy called them "Prince Harry and Queen Katherine"...

    Was he

    1) Kidding
    2) Slip of the tongue
    3) Genuinely had no idea

    I think its sad because it spending millions of Pounds, while they are instituting an austerity plan for the rest of the country, for an anachronism.

    As far as the monarchy bringing them all together try telling that to people in a Celtics bar in Glasgow or in the Bogside neighborhood of Derry, Northern Ireland.

    Didn't know Prince William has a bald spot.. He can't be that old, but coming from a guy who is losing his hair, it does suck though especially when you're young.. I guess it doesn't matter to him much, lol...
