UK Prince Charles is probably the most tragic royal figure in the world. Since he was established in 1952 and became the heir to the British throne, Charles is still the crown prince. He also broke the record of his great-great-grandfather Edward VII's crown prince in 259, and was the leader in the 67-year-old crown prince.
and the worst thing is that this record looks to be growing continuously at the moment. Because Queen Elizabeth II of the UK at the time, she still looks very healthy.
At the same time, in many surveys conducted by the British media in the past decade, most people hope that Charles's son Prince William can pass over him and directly inherit the throne. There is news about Prince William's succession to the throne, which always appears in the headlines of major media from time to time, which also makes Charles suffer.

So, Elizabeth II has been in power for more than 60 years, why didn’t he choose to abdicate? Why is Prince Charles not popular?
The British throne is lifelong, and there is generally no abdication. Of course, there are also those who take the initiative to abdicate. For example, Elizabeth II's uncle Edward VIII , who once gave up the throne for the sake of Lady Simpson, creating a very classic story.
But from another perspective, abdicating because of love is also an act of irresponsible to the British people during the war. After George VI succeeded to the throne, he resolutely lived with the people and showed great spirit of courage to take responsibility, which was unanimously praised by the people. Therefore, before Queen Elizabeth succeeded to the throne, she was influenced by her uncle and her father in both positive and negative aspects. After ascending the throne, she regarded the queen as a great and noble responsibility.
In 1957, she even made a vow to "never abdicate".
For more than 60 years of reign, Queen Elizabeth has been greatly respected and loved by the people, and no one can surpass her prestige in the country. If her physical condition allows, she will definitely not voluntarily abdicate.
Of course, if her son Charles is excellent enough, the queen might also consider passing the digits in advance. But Charles's son disappointed her.
The most criticized prince Charles is his marriage to Princess Diana . Long before she married Diana, Charles had scandals with many women. Among them, the famous one is his current wife Camilla Rosemary Shande .

Charles and Diana got married in 1981 and officially divorced in 1996. During their marriage, Charles had been inseparable from Camilla. Diana, under much neglect, also chose to retaliate with others for extramarital affair. In 1992, the two officially separated. The extramarital affair between the two was soon disclosed by the media. With Princess Diana being loved, Prince Charles instantly faced criticism from thousands of people and his reputation dropped to the lowest point.
Diana died in a car accident in Paris, France in 1997 after the two divorced. Despite the opposition from others, Charles went to Paris to pick up Diana's body and insisted on holding a royal funeral for her. This incident successfully restored Charles' image in the hearts of some British people. His approval rating began to increase, but was never as good as his son Prince William.
Just as things began to develop in a positive way, the news that Charles and Camilla were about to get married once again appeared on the front page of major media.
According to British religion and tradition, the princess must not be a Catholic and must also maintain virginity. Camilla is a divorced woman, both of which do not meet the requirements. Therefore, the Anglican Church has been strongly opposed to this possible marriage.

In 2005, Charles and Camilla officially got married. But after marriage, since Camilla was a divorced woman, she would not be able to hold the title of His Highness Princess of Wales , and could only get the titles of Duchess of Cornwall , Countess of Chester and other titles.In other words, even if Charles ascends the throne in the future, Camilla will still not be able to become the queen, at most she is just a "companion concubine".
After getting married, the lives of the two cannot be said to be happy. In 2014, Camilla filed a divorce lawsuit, demanding that she terminate the engagement and receive £200 million in damages. There are even media reports that Camilla once threatened that if she did not receive compensation, she would reveal the royal scandal to the world.
This matter ended up in the end, and Camilla is still Charles' wife.
But in recent years, Charles always seems to be very unsatisfactory.
In 2013, the British House of Commons investigated the tax payments in Prince Charles Duke of Cornwall . The Duke of Cornwall's annual income in 2012 was at least $30 million, and Prince Charles' tax rate was not even higher than that of his family's servants.
After Charles' tax evasion scandal was exposed, he faced a new round of criticism. Judging from the current situation, not only Queen Elizabeth is not satisfied with him, but the entire British society is also ashamed of his identity as the crown prince. Prince Charles is really hard.
