although Charles still seems to spend a lot of time exerting influence behind the scenes

Do I detect a whiff of eau de Conspiracy!anon here? I was under the impression ol' Chuckles is mostly a batty treehugger with no concept of what it's like to, you know, live like an actual human being.

OK, OK, I admit I got this from a documentary where the hired help were complaining about how alien the monarchs were, when compared with their actual subjects, and that was why all of them loathed Diana so much. So yeah it was a biased documentary.

I really really really don't think (at least I hope) that Charles doesn't have a whole lot of power or influence; because if he does, that may end up coming back to bite the Commonwealth on its collective backside once he's on the throne.

He apparently spends a lot of time talking to and writing letters to government ministers in the UK, and nobody's really sure about what, or whether or not he has any real influence.

There's a bunch of stuff in the Guardian about it - here's a decent piece: http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2013/jul/09/prince-charles-letters-mps-private-court

Also, here's a piece about how apparently he has a legal right to any money from the estates of anyone who dies without a will in Cornwall, and is currently giving it to his own charities: http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2013/may/01/prince-charles-intestate-cash-cornwall

At least the money goes to charities and not into his pockets?

Batty treehugger or not, it'd be really naive to think that someone rich, connected AND of royal blood would somehow not have any political influence in a country like England where all of those things are valued.

Dumb, clueless rich people have huge political influence in the U.S., too. Some are even elected President. There's nothing conspiracy-minded about it, it's just how politics works.
