PRINCESS OF wALES??

[optomist]

Was it just me or did I hear , on the rolling news channel BBC, the reader refer to the 'arrival of the Prince and Princess of Wales.' yesterday.
About time too, I thought, and hope they won't be mealy mouthed about calling her Queen when the time comes...

[ummmm]

Well said NOXY :-)

[emmie]

it's not a cult, just a simple fact that some do not like, care for Camilla, for her role in the break up of Charles and Diana's marriage

[NOX]

But Em, you don't HAVE to like her, you don't matter- the royal family is not voted for, THEY choose, not YOU, get a President if you don't like it- which would really amuse me ;-)

// and if you aren't going to be faithful then don't fluffing well get married. //

Yes well heirs to the throne don't have the same choice as you or I em

There are laws involved.

Maybe he'd have been better abdicating like his great uncle

At least Edward didn't end up being forced to marry a self-obsessed manipulative, neurotic passive-agressive

"It was very crowded in that marriage" <bats eyelids, looks out of the side of her eyes> - And CUT!

[LyndaB]

I too was never a great fan of Saint Diana. Charles and camilla are much better suited to each other, and I, for one, WILL refer to her as Queen when the time comes. And for all those who that the succession should pass to Willam, this isn't some Hollywood production. Assuming Charles outlives his mother, then he will be King, whether peeps like it or not.

[emmie]

Nox, so we are all fawning docile peasants, how nice.

[starone]

lol at jake's description - very apt.

[emmie]

so why didn't he marry Camilla to begin with, wouldn't that have solved everything.

[NOX]

Apparently Em, unless you evidence to the contrary?

"Ed Charlie admitted his adultery on the programme with Dimbleby..."

I've never believed anything he's said :)

"had Charles stuck to his marriage vows then none of what followed would have happened"

I'm not entirely sure if you could guarantee that?

I don't really have a position on this (I didn't know there was really one to take!), I've just found the condemnation a bit much - especially as I know so little about it.

As others have said, everyone involved was probably a human being who should be cut a little slack...

[MarkRae]

> so we are all fawning docile peasants

If you believe in the concept of a royal family who have achieved their status through nothing more than an accident of birth, then yes you are!

You can't have one without the other...

And Diana had flings with other men while she was married to Charles, including Hewitt. Many still believe that Harry is Hewitts offspring from their affair., especially as he has ginger hair.

[starone]

em - I don't think he had any option. Diana was picked out for him. I believe she had to have a physical examination to make sure she could give us some little heirs to the throne. It was also suggested, I believe, although to be honest I can't remember for sure, that she had to be a virgin, although I find that hard to believe especially if she hung about that court.

I'm quite happy to be a fawning docile peasant...............

[emmie]

what a load of boll ox, we are not docile, nor peasants, just people who have an opinion on the thread.

[ummmm]

He looks like Diana's brother.

[Brenden]

Charles did state on his engagement to Camilla that she would be his consort when he became king, but would bet my last dime that when the time comes (if ever) he will insist on her being his queen - a done deal from the beginning.

////If you believe in the concept of a royal family who have achieved their status through nothing more than an accident of birth, then yes you are!////

Since a lot of the "peasant's" posts on this thread are attacking members of the Royal Family, you can hardly describe them as fawning or docile.

[Euphemia]

Hear, hear, MR

[craft1948]

Prince Harry is the absolute spitting image of his cousin George, including the ginger hair..............
