CONTRIBUTE WHAT KIND OF KING WILL KING CHARLES III MAKE? “He will be a good King, we’ve all done something in our lives, some good, some bad and some in between. Give him a chance.” – BETTY CURTIS “I believe he’ll be a very good King. He is very concerned about people and the environment and I think he’ll be devoted to his duties.” – LESLEY PATRICK “It’s not his romantic past that should be a concern – that won’t impact his ability as monarch. It’s the future that should be a concern, he will be the most extreme left, woke monarch in history – not that he’ll be making decisions impacting the country, but his influence will be enormous.” – ANNE HENDERSON “I think he will be a good King, he has worked with his mother all his life and I believe he will follow on doing the things that she held dear, however with a little modernisation perhaps. I think the English people will support him and give him time to settle in. Long Live our King Charles III… From Australia” – BEVERLEY SHEEAN Your say “He will do his duty perfectly because he has been groomed for this role all his life. His biggest fault was giving in to pressure and marrying someone he did not love.” – KEN CAMPBELL “King Charles lll will be a good King. People have to let go of the past and move forward. His marriage to Diana was a disaster for both of them and very sad. He loves Camilla and she has always supported him.” – KRISTEEN NAGLE WHAT’S THE BEST RELATIONSHIP OR MARRIAGE ADVICE YOU’VE RECEIVED? “Never go to bed having an argument. Sort it out beforehand. Married for 51 years and still very happy.” – PAM GARMONY “Hubby and I are nomads travelling Australia in our caravan for over five years now. We rarely argue long – life is too short to hold on to a grudge. We have too much to see in Australia to waste time. I need him to drive and he needs me to navigate!” – CHRIS THORPE “The time before your marriage is the ‘honeymoon’ period. Both are on their best behaviour. If you are not 100% happy, DON’T DO IT. No one changes their behaviour for the better after marriage.” – DEBBIE FLORANCE “You must have common interests and do things together. Also you must have separate interests and hobbies and do things without expecting your spouse to do it too. There is no room in a successful marriage for jealousy!” – LES HARTLAND SHARE YOUR FAVOURITE CHILDHOOD MEMORY OF YOUR SIBLINGS “For me it was doing the dishes, singing and making music, having all sorts of conversations and doing crazy stuff, like putting a cup of water on top of the door knowing someone would get all wet.” – BEPPIE SNACKERS “My big sister drew a number two on my doll’s soft rubber face, in biro pen. It never came off. I cut her doll’s hair and pierced its ears in retaliation.” – JENNY JONES “Bed time. Lots of stories and too much laughter. Often threatened with a smack if we didn’t go to sleep. Never happened as we giggled under our pillows to stifle the laughter.” – JANICE STEWART “Going to Melbourne on the train with my mother and sister, all dressed up, then going to Coles and being allowed to pick anything for our lunch.” – BETTY BAKER “Listening to the radio serials at night.” – JAN SMITH JOIN THE CHAT!
