Apparently being next in line to being an living part of the constitution and as a result the greatest lotto winner of all time is not enough:
Prince Charles has voiced his dislike of facing the media at a photo call during the Royals' annual skiing holiday at Klosters in Switzerland. As he posed with sons William and Harry eight days before his wedding, the prince muttered: "Bloody people." The assembled microphones picked up his comments, mumbled to his sons, which included: "I hate doing this".It would be nice if the world worked such that they would just go away, get a ridiculous level of comensation of, say, 0.1% of what they control in name now and let them live the life of idle loafers they really desire.

I'm all in favour of the Prince of Wales stepping aside. The whole family -- not so much.

i'm with ben. they've got relatives. find good ones and give them the job. that's what happens when royals fuck up. you go to the netherlands or germany or france and get somebody good and you kick thier distant relatives the hell out. it's been done. i'll say no more.
