Prince Charles could be end of monarchy in Canada: documentary
Published Wednesday November 4th, 2009
MONTREAL - It's probably just as well Prince Charles is leaving Canada before the broadcast of a new documentary on the monarchy. He probably wouldn't like what he sees.
It predicts his unpopularity could be the single determining factor that spells the demise of the monarchy in Canada.
The film -- "After Elizabeth II: Monarchy in Peril" -- suggests Canadians might finally wind up cutting their ties to the throne once it's occupied by Charles.
Looking at some of the opinions about Charles recapped in the one-hour film leaves the viewer with the impression the Grim Reaper is puckering up for a smooch on the regal institution.
The film cites a string of scandals and missteps that have allegedly tarnished the Royal Family in recent years. The documentary notes that even the Legoland theme park in Britain draws more tourists than the royal castles.
Prince Charles is dismissed as an aging fuddy-duddy by some and too quirky by others.
