#1 ..or that he was born to prove that hereditary monarchy is something that is long past any fathomable usage. Sort of like an human appendix.

#2 "Grandfather, why the hell didn't you come and do something about your F%^&up teeth? You knew what the problem was". Also, why the hell did you dump grandma for that hag Lady Camille?

#3 Inbreeding among the royals seems to be showing...

#6 My hope is that his mother will outlive him (her mother lived to over 100).

#7 EVERYONE was born for a purpose. The Prince's purpose seems to be to serve as a bad example for the rest of us.

#9  'I can only somehow imagine that I find myself being born into this position for a purpose.

Hell yes you were born with a purpose, it's to ensure the lineage of the Windsors should the heir die, NOTHING ELSE, YOU'RE A "SPARE".

#10 'I wanted to express something in the outer world that I feel inside... We seem to have lost that understanding of the whole of nature and the universe as a living entity.'

What he 'feels inside' is a garbled bunch of rationalization and wishful thinking. Even the foremost spiritual leaders 'check' their intuitions with other people.

In Chuck's defense, the high-spiritual guide for the royal family is *supposed* to be the Archbishop of Canterbury. So the Prince is alone in the woods, so to speak.

#11 This is what happens when you have too much money and too much free time...

#12 That boy is a halfwit. The crown belongs to the youngest - the one fighting for that country.

#13 as I recall, he had a purpose - he wanted to be "Camilla's tampon"

*shudder*

#14 His impassioned comments come during a film about his belief that unbridled commerce has led to the destruction of farmland and countryside.

ItÂ’s easy to dismiss the man as an inbred dullard with a messiah complex. But, IMO, any person with his wealth and influence that has so much contempt for free market capitalism is flat out dangerous.

#15 Your "duty" Charles, is to return to Balmoral and finish your days as a seldom, or even less frequently heard from fly fisherman and recluse.

#16 The prince has a God complex. Get on with saving the world and quit talking about it. But please save the world in silence if you don't mind.

#17 I am defiled by the little people who intrude on my peaceful country setting. Why can't they just disappear and leave me to my peace. Hey serf, crank up the heat on my castle and bring me a latte. I have a private plane to catch.

#18 Prince Charles, the Joe Biden of the royal family.

#19 Why, why do you continue to humiliate all those who share your first name!? Why can't you just jump out a plane saying Jesus will save you to protect the world!?
