The risks of the economic repercussions of the coronavirus pandemic continue to worry Prince Charles, whose figure as heir to the British throne now appears to be evolving to a position of co-regent: given the precautionary isolation from the public scene that Queen Elizabeth , 94 years old, will have to keep looking for who knows how long.
    Back from the infection and returned in excellent shape, the 71-year-old Prince of Wales has launched an appeal in recent days in favor of the many cultural institutions of the Kingdom threatened to be overwhelmed by the effects of the lockdown. And now, through his trust, he has leaked an alarm on the Telegraph about the even wider danger that threatens socially and unemployment, especially for millions of young people. The text fears the scenario of "a terrible downward spiral" capable of fueling new "poverty", of leaving more people "homeless", of affecting many children and potentially of triggering a climate of protests similar to that which the same trust had filed in 1976 before the so-called Winter of Discontent season on the island.
    Charles' warning - returned to his residence in Clarence House in London to receive French President Emmanuel Macron as deputy head of state with his wife Camilla, visiting the Kingdom for the 80th anniversary of General Charles De's historic appeal to the BBC Gaulle to the resistance against Nazifascism - comes against the background of the publication of disturbing data on the post-pandemic in the country by the Office for National Statistics (Ons): British equivalent of Istat. These figures indicate 12.5 million families already heavily affected by the lockdown and estimate 26% of young people destined to worsen employment and economic conditions in the coming months.
