For years, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip were extremely apprehensive about making their eldest son, Prince Charles, the heir to the British throne. According to multiple sources in the palace, Prince Charles' parents doubted his suitability for the throne and regarded him as something of a 'loose cannon'.
It is further being reported that they thought Charles was prone to anger way too quickly, had a tendency to throw tantrums, and harbored an almost revolutionary zeal to 'make his mark' with all sorts of weird causes and initiatives, which to them veered on the brink of quackery.
