I would say that he is misunderstood .
‘If one looks at his strict upbringing with little affection if any as he had little interaction with his parents since an early age.
He probably hates the whole establishment.
I remember watching a documentary years ago about his life and he or the reporter stated that Charles would rather live out his life happily on his estate where he is engaged in climate change,organic farming , agriculture and is very sociable within that community of interests.
He apparently had started an organic farm community in 1985.
Look up online about his organic farm community, if anyone is interested.
He tries to distance himself with the Monarchy unless pressed to do so as in the present.
I suspect that he would give up the throne in a short time to his older son as William matures into it.
( training engagements to prepare him , plus his children to father in the meantime).
