I caught the tail end of it. The whole piece seemed rushed in trying to fit in far too many topics in such a short timeframe.
As for Charles, he will do fine. His late mother is a hard act for anyone to follow regardless of their past. Even she experienced periods where her popularity and polls showed more not being in favour of the institution and/or her.
In regards to his past, well, show me a public figure who doesn't have one and even those within the Church of England. Dig deep into anyones past and something can be found. Unfortunately his laundry was hung out for all to see, and he himself put it out.
Alas I am a monarchist and seeing what other countries have as an alternative system, I think we are just fine IMHO.
