Our gay friends have known for years that Charles was gay, or at least suspected it, even when he probably didn't himself. They will be delighted that it's finally coming out. (No pun intended.)

As to the royalty...they were born into it, no questions asked. They can choose to do good with it or not, but I don't think they deserve such animosity for an accident of birth; for their actions, perhaps, but not their birth. Another thing, tourists don't flock there to see King Blair etc. and never will. They want to see Royalty, born and bred and as I understand it, tourism is a big industry over there.
