Certain Englishmen have had excessive and undeniable fascination with Islam. St. John Philby was one, Lawrence of Arabia another. Sir Richard Francis Burton even able to successfully pose as Muslim and make the Holy Trek to Mecca. Charles continues a tradition of those men but of course as more than a mere citizen? Defender of THE Faith too quite not as strong as the FAITH once followed. All faiths said to equal validity and value today.
