Even Canada’s most ardent monarchists accept that the 2,300-mile gulf between London and the Queen’s largest realm is something of a stumbling block.
Having a head of state who only visits the country every two or three years plays right into the hands of republicans, after all.
But as they prepare for the arrival of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge later this week, royalists in Canada have come up with a novel solution to the age-old problem: install Prince Harry as their king.
They want the Prince, who is third in line to the throne, to set up home in the capital, Ottawa, to give the Royal family a permanent presence and to silence those who believe the country should have an elected head of state.

They should do it. He would be an brilliant head of state
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

Hope you're right!
"We have known for a long time that Prince Charles' empty sails are so rigged as to be swelled by any passing waft or breeze of crankiness and cant. He fell for the fake anthropologist Laurens van der Post. He was bowled over by the charms of homeopathic medicine. He has been believably reported as saying that plants do better if you talk to them in a soothing and encouraging way."

Well... if by, "he would be a brilliant head of state," you mean, "his head would be in a brilliant state," then you might have a point!

I thought Charles was going to be skipped because of the divorce. Or that he married a divorcee, or something. Isn't that a royal no-no?
Prince Harry as King of Canada? I didn't think Canadians cared about glamor.
Poor Harry. He'd be so bored.
