"It's a problem for him because he's got - like Edward VII had - nearly all his lifetime to wait until he becomes Monarch. What is he going to do with it? So he wants to do something positive but he always courts those dangers"

About this Quote

This quote is describing the problem dealt with by Prince Charles, who is the beneficiary to the British throne. He has actually had to wait his whole life to become Monarch, and is now faced with the difficulty of what to do with the time he has actually left. He wishes to make a favorable impact, but knows the threats that come with taking action. This quote highlights the challenging position Prince Charles remains in, as he is unable to take any significant choices without the danger of criticism or failure. It also talks to the difficulty of being a public figure, as any action taken goes through public examination. Eventually, this quote works as a tip of the difficult position Prince Charles is in, and the need for him to take advantage of the time he has left prior to ending up being Monarch.
