To me the difference between the Queen and politicians
is that the Queen's first duty is to the country, whereas a politician's first duty is always to themselves, or at a push their party.
Not sure the same could be said for Charles, though.

I appreciate your point, which does have some merit.
However I suspect that most members of the royal family are even more detached from reality than politicians - and that's some achievement.

Historically
there was a Groom of the Stool who would wipe the kingly bottom... It was a highly prized position as it showed you had the kings trust
