I really feel that Charles should at least consider passing on the Crown to his son William. William and Kate are immensely popular. It would be a good thing for Great Britain, British people as well as for the Royal Family. Charles and Camilla are the opposite in terms of respect and popularity to William and Kate, as far as I understand. If Charles does that, he would write himself into the annals of British history. I am not from GB, so I may be misreading the situation.

It’s almost as though there could be a better system, one where ability could be judged and debated and voted on.

It's already the case though.

The queen of Britain is not elected.

Many monarchies have been elective[1], and in some, the monarch is often picked from the same family. Even that is a better system than "first-born child".
