Oh, it's not such news. People always seem to wind up marrying the same person over and over.

Who's the best ruler in the UK, the current royal family or the current government?

Charles would have needed to be in genuine marriage to have committed adultery in a meaningful way. The Princess Of People's Hearts was a bad joke, and dismal employee even though she was tasked with only one duty.
As for the nonce, where were her parents while she was being passed around? Andy and
his kind are found in all areas of society in all guises. The job of parents is to keep their progeny out of Andrew's clutches and his like minded kind.

This is why having a Royal Family is so toxic for the UK. People find excuses to make adultery acceptable and blame victims and their families for the abuse they suffer rather than the those who carry out the abuse. The Royals bring down the standards and values of the whole country and charge us an absolute fortune for the privilege.

It's more accurate than the sycophantic fawning nonsense that we usually get with coverage of the Royal Family. I'm still at a loss about what exactly they contribute to the country for the estimated £350 million they cost us.
That adulterer will never reign over me. I would never bow or stand up for her as I don't respect her.

I read your first sentence. Utterly chauvinistic and preposterous response. He was still married - it was still adultery. And you are defending child abuse. I think you need to check yourself.

This is what that ghastly family does to people. In order to defend the indefensible to support the Royals, people have to justify adultery and victim blame child sex abuse victims.

The UK would never stomach the idea of a foreigner being our head of state so to me it's very strange that countries many hundreds of miles away are happy having a foreigner imposed on them to be their head of state.

Well as the video suggests it depends on the "foreigner".
It's not the same as the UK feeling puppeteered by a bunch of a Belgian and German bankers, as it were.
I think one of the main points in this entertainingly edited video is the dissociation by the next generation Australians who hasn't grow up with, let alone appreciated, the tradition of monarchy. It's a little different with Queen Elizabeth because none of us knows a world without her and at this point it would be ridiculous to question her authority.
Regardless of the popularity of the future king, be it Charles or William, there's never going to be another "Elizabeth".
Personally I have no problem with the monarchy functioning as a decorative PR machine. This is Europe and we don't have a White House, Disney World or Hollywood.
I'd like to have something special apart from the windmills and tulips. On the other hand, the Dutch monarchy is the most expensive (after the UK) so that's definitely something to consider, to say the least.
But once you end it it becomes irreversible, and the idea of a Europe being a grey pap of boring politicians working for The Men With The Money doesn't appeal to me either.
I've never had the idea that the monarchy has made me suffer financially, while the many expensive blunders by local governments are kinda difficult to digest.

Charles and Camilla are an absolute joke. And exactly the king and queen the UK deserves for voting in the Tories for years. Exiled from the rest of Europe with those two on the throne and whatever Tory Jester is next at number 10. It seems right to me.

You're lucky but in the UK that isn't the case for everybody. Here we have the obscenity of people on low incomes, such as carers, not being able to earn enough money to feed their families so they have to resort to using food banks. Meanwhile they are being taxed to pay for the lavish lifestyles of one of the richest families in the country (the Royals). I don't know how as a country we can justify this.
