A new candidate for the Antichrist

Well, new to me, although I admit I haven’t been keeping up on my Antichrists of late.

They seem to come and go: we’ve had Nero, Napoleon, Hitler and, more lately, the Pope (any Pope) and Obama. The most original theory has been the subject of a book: The Antichrist and a Cup of Tea – a seminal work on the subject according to some reviewers. No, I haven’t read it and have no plans to.  The author, Tim Cohen makes the case for Prince Charles being the Antichrist.

In some ways, I find this a great comfort: if I were voting for an Antichrist I would want an inept one and I can’t think of anyone with better qualifications in that department.

He does have to become king first, though; I can think of so many reasons why he shouldn’t become king that one more – even this one – is just a drop in the bucket.

Still, to be on the safe side, all together now: “long live the Queen”.

  1. Camilla will never let him abdicate in favour of anyone. She has worked too long and hard for her queen-ship to let him bow out.

  2. Actually I think that Charles will make an average King. His downfall has been that he is next after one of the most popular and longest reigning Queens ever, and that his first wife was ingredibly pupular. When their marriage broke up it was innevitable that the public would side with her at his expense.
    But still, for a guy born into an established wealth and having had to live his entire life in the spotlight he has done not entirely bad. The good work that he does never seems to get any attention, which is a shame.
