The Prince, Chapter XIX: That One should Avoid being Despised and Hated
….
“It makes him hated above all things, as I have said, to be rapacious, and to be a violator of the property and women of his subjects, from both of which he must abstain.”
In Chapter 19 of The Prince Machiavelli enjoined Prince Charles to not violate and to abstain from the property and women of his subjects. Instead, Charles carried on an open and notorious and adulterous and rapacious affair with Camilla then married to a member of his court in flagrant disregard of his wife and the mother of his children Diana in the eyes of the entire world. Whenever British and Commonwealth subjects see King Charles with Queen Camilla they will think of Diana and grow to hate and to detest him and her and the British Monarchy itself as Machiavelli predicted. Machiavelli was a Republican. And right now the United Kingdom itself could collapse. Once again Scotland is pushing for independence. Public opinion polls in Northern Ireland reveal that a majority of the British subjects there favor joining the Republic of Ireland and becoming citizens instead of subjects. King Charles and Queen Camilla will only accelerate these historical forces that are already in operation tending towards the disintegration of the British Monarchy, the United Kingdom, and the British Commonwealth.
