I missed the Thames deal. Watched the first of a three part (one hour each) series about her and what she does and why she does it. She does what no one else can do. She DOES fill a valuable position and provides a vauable service(s). After she goes... who knows? I assume it will continue, but I just don't see Charles doing the same job. If he does, I assume it will just be for a short time... for tradition.
