    There is a natural balance to everything. If the USA missed out on Diana, they also missed out on Charles.

    Question

    I think some of the semantics of that discussion are intentionally vague. Sure, lots of folks are interested in the monarchies, but don't confuse that interest with being predisposed to wanting to live under one.

    Couldn't agree more as this is exactly how I feel.

    Const. Monarch

    Listened to the program. There is not enough space here to rebut the premise. The victor in an election does not eliminate the opposition. In Nazi Germany perhaps but not in the USA. At least not yet. For the USA reader who is not as familiar with English history with its Tudors or Stewarts or Cromwells and Bloody Mary try Edward Rutherfurd's "Sarum" or "The Forest". Two good reads.
