He could become King of the British Virgin Islands instead. St. Thomas isn't nearly as boring as Canada.

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

He can be head, kate and pippa can give me head, and I just might get fresh interest in the fact I'm a Canadian citizen

Prince Charles is absolutely the heir apparent of the commonwealth.

True enough with heir apparent but it seems equally apparent to me that he'll be skipped - heir as applied to the Crown just won't happen as long as H. M. the Q. rulez. Then again...
