All That's Royal

For the most part, I think Prince Charles is somewhat buffoonish, but, I must say, the following comments, regarding a dustup with some palace staffer, are royal.

"What is wrong with everyone nowadays?

“Why do they all seem to think they are qualified to do things far beyond their technical capabilities?

“This is to do with the learning culture in schools as a consequence of a child-centred system which admits no failure.

“People think they can all be pop stars, high court judges, brilliant TV personalities or infinitely more competent heads of state without ever putting in the necessary work or having natural ability.

“This is the result of social utopianism which believes humanity can be genetically and socially engineered to contradict the lessons of history."

Heck, based on those comments, I’d even consider taking ole Charles fly-fishing if he visits Michigan, if he doesn’t mind my commoner status.

“Prince’s blast at people who get above their station"
