He may be only one of numerous knights but he was a Knight of the Garter and as such was one of only 24. I don't see why Charlie couldn't have managed a trip over. As for the idea that at 80 the Queen is too old for such a long trip, I bet it wouldn't put her off if she really wanted to go. I think it's a shame considering the Everest expedition was a British expedition and coincided with her coronation.
