Frankly, I'm a little surprised how you can get all passionate about the right to protest, and brush aside potential interference of one of the royals in the legislative process without question.
Because we have lived with this system for a very long time and I very much doubt that Charles would do anything to bring the constitution he is a part of to it's knees over anything venal.I trust the man,can't see what he has ever done to make him seem an untrustworthy member of the royal family.Frankly I trust him more than I do the entire houses of Parliament.
