Prince Charles could be forgiven for feeling a bit grumpy these days. Close to many people's retirement age, he's still waiting for the job he was groomed for: King of England. And he's preparing for the wedding that will make his eldest son William and Kate Middleton the fresh new faces of a monarchy sorely in need of renewal.
That leaves Charles, who once cut a dashing figure himself, something of a forgotten man. He is sandwiched between his mother Queen Elizabeth II, treasured for her steadfast dignity and devotion to duty since her coronation in 1953, and Prince William, who carries a hint of the late Princess Diana's glamour wherever he goes.
