I think it's long been an open secret that Prince William rather than Prince Charles will succeed to the throne. I don't think Charles wants to be king, and it would be much more exciting for everyone involved to have a younger man. Charles is already 67 or 68, I believe. But the queen will not

I agree with what you say here, since the people concerned are refugees, and there is an obligation in such matters. However, that doesn't mean it won't lead to problems down the road. In the 1960s, Britain liberalized its immigration policies, and the result was that immigration from the Third
