    Prince Charles is not hereditary heir to position that monarch has held since 1953 coronation

    Senior Commonwealth officials are to hold secret talks in London about who will succeed the Queen as its head, it has been reported.

    THE COMMONWEALTH OF NATIONS

    The Commonwealth of Nations (formerly the British Commonwealth), also known as simply the Commonwealth, is an intergovernmental organisation of 53 member states that are mostly former territories of the British Empire.

    In my opinion, the next Head of the Commonwealth should be Condoleezza Rice, though it remains to be seen whether Condi will lead the Commonwealth officially or as simply one more of her duties as the Paramount Leader of the Free World.

    "We didn't just focus on the threat of 9/11 but also tried to look to deal with root causes. So the international compassion agenda which had to do with doubling foreign assistance for Latin America, quadrupling foreign assistance in Africa, tripling it world-wide, the President's Emergency AIDS relief program, the Malaria Initiative, girl's education. These were elements of a foreign policy agenda that, while not directly responsive to 9/11, were responsive to the idea that you had to make a better world - that failed states, hopelessness among people were among the causes of what had happened to us and so I am pleased that we were able to do that."

    How about the oldest son of Princes Diana, the one with that really nice wife Kate of something and two kids.
