#1 Sounds pretty nefarious until one asks, 'and why would they do such a thing?'.

#4 Hard to credit a lot of the innuendo here. Charles is already incredibly rich; and when his mother dies, he'll become the richest man in England. Why does he need the money?

Also, I think he's so rich that $3.2mm is pocket change to him.

#6 Most people make charitable donations with a check. They are easier to carry.

#10 If princes Andrew, Charles and Harry is out of the running, who's left to assume the throne?

Or will this dissolve into a "Game Of Throne" scenario?

#14 If princes Andrew, Charles and Harry is out of the running, who's left to assume the throne?

The throne passes from Queen Elizabeth II to her eldest son, Prince Charles, then to his eldest son, Prince William, then to his elder son, Prince George. All the brothers of Charles were spares until he had an heir of his own, then Prince Harry was the spare until Prince William had heirs of his own. Now George’s younger siblings Louis and Charlotte are the spares until George produces heirs.

The evidence suggests it is difficult to make the transition from being groomed as a spare to finding one’s own place in the world.

I believe that if the direct heir and spares die off without leaving any heirs, they have to climb back up the family tree until closest loving descendant is found. This is how Victoria became queen after George IV’s daughter, Princess Charlotte, died in childbirth, leaving him without an heir. When George IV died, his next younger living brother was crowned William IV, but he had no surviving legitimate children. By the time William IV died, I believe the only living legitimate child born to any of his remaining brothers was Victoria. Her father would have been king in turn, but he died only a year after she was born. So there it was.
