Why Should A One Sided Documentary Prevent Charles From Making Camilla His Queen?

Personally I think that she would make a perfect Queen.

[Tilly2]

Queen Camilla doesn't sound right.

Baldric, //Camilla has selfishly served herself. //

Oh, come on. Be fair. She's served Charles for a good number of years. ;o)

I'm no particular fan of Diana but what Charles and Camilla did to her at such a young age (and a vulnerable personality) is unforgivable. If Diana was an ABer explaining what was going on the attitude to her husband and his lover would be vastly different. I'd never regard Camilla as a Queen and I believe she'd still be very unpopular.

[Baldric]

'Least we forget, eh!'

From about '71 I believe

[Baldric]

Yep, thought I wasn't far out

[naomi24]

Baldric, Indeed. That said, let's not forget either that Charles didn't say 'no'.

[Baldric]

Should have gone to Specsavers imho!

[naomi24]

Pair of ratbags really.

[youngmafbog]

Can't have been a pretty sight either way, the pair look look bulldogs chewing a wasp.

Wonder if she hags onto his lug holes?

there's a distinction between queen regnant (in her own right) and queen consort (married to a king). There's no such distinction for kings: they kings regnant or they're princes/dukes/consorts etc. The reason I suppose if that a consort was labelled king he'd assume he was number 1 (I believe that was why it never happened with Albert, who would actually have made an excellent king).

I don't know why there shouldn't be an official King Consort title, though.

I don't want to see a Queen Camilla myself; there's something medieval about sleeping your way into the palace like that. But then I wouldn't particularly mind never seeing a King Charles.

[ChillDoubt]

Still not sure how a future King lying blatantly on camera about his infidelity constitutes 'one-sided', but hey ho.....

/// and removing sexist overtones at the same time? ///

No it would be sexist for her not become Queen.

/// Should have gone to Specsavers imho! ///

Ah! the truth will out.

All about looks is it? How very shallow of you Baldric.

[albaqwerty]

am just musing out loud here,

Is it a good idea for the Uk, GB and Commonwealth to have 2 known adulterers representing the UK, GB and Commonwealth?

[Mamyalynne]

It would rather be harking to the past wouldn't it Alba - used to be commonplace.


I doubt the documentary will make one iota of difference and am sure plans regarding the future of the Monarchy are in place already , whether it features Charles and Camilla is yet to be seen.

[Baldric]

AOG, stop making it up as you go along, I did not say it was all about looks, I simply suggested she may not be much of an asset to the Sale of UK Postage Stamps.

You carry on musing out, but do it a little quieter please.

[Mamyalynne]

Oh, is that a 'I want to alone' comment?

[-Talbot-]

Spot on , Prudie.

As far as I know, apart from the first issue of King George VI's coronation stamps the Queen's head doesn't usually appear on postage stamps.
