Prince Charles expressed an interest in becoming Australia's Governor General in the 70s but was rebuffed, in the wake of the Dismissal. In 2007 it was reported in the media that William might be a GG, but nothing came of it.

Given that a GG post would basically be training for being the King of Britain what if the British made some sort of deal with Commonwealth countries to 'pay' for the training? Nothing so crass as a wad of cash of course, but there are all sorts of government to government deals with all sorts of offsets and conditions. Perhaps Australia, Canada or New Zealand etc had debt forgiven or is gifted a destroyer or something and in return Charles and his siblings and kids get a stint as a state or province Governor or a national GG?
