He described an extension to the Tate Gallery as a monsterous carbuncle... but I think he does sometimes speak for with the popular opinion (on GM Foods, architecture, and so on...)
I do honestly believe that Charles is a genuinely earnest and well meaning person, he probably isnt the brightest guy - but on the whole he seems a better human being than the rest of his family.
Compare Charles' comments to the fairly regular racially insensitive rants of his father (although Philip can be funny too sometimes, I remember him asking a Scottish driving instructor how he was able to keep his pupils sober enough to pass their test!!)
