Charles & Camilla

I haven't kept up with what's happening with them, Lightkeeper. Are the two getting married? It seems they've had a very long and close relationship.
 
Personally, I don't think charles should be marrying Camilla, since their relationship was partly the reason for the degradation of his relationship with Diana. I certainly don't think Camilla should ever be called queen if Charles inherits the throne

Yes, they are getting married in April.

I believe that the Archboship of Canterbury has already said that if Charles takes the throne , Camilla will not be called queen . { forget the title she will be call } .

BTW rummer has it that they tried this before { before Di } , but Camilla didn't pass the physical , if you follow my drift ... ;) I guess that now that Chuck doesn't pass either , it doesn't matter ?

Edited to add that I wouldn't normally bring something like that up . Not a gossip . But I think that the whole thing is rather silly . I mean , who really cares ? I just hope that Chuck never takes the throne , but that has very little to do with his private life .

This is one topic where I feel I am in a position to be informative, and non-judgemental. The non-judgemental bit is hard; I was a great admirer of Diana, and I felt that Charles had treated her abominably.I felt her behaviour could be excused as a result of her having been totally 'used' by the Royal family - in particular Charles.
Charles and Camilla fell in love a long time ago; she was not felt -at the time- a suitable wife for Charles, and he disappeared into the navy to be 'out of the way'. Camilla, thinking that their relationship could never 'flourish' married, and a distraught Charles came back, accepting that she was 'out of bounds'.
Even on the day of their marriage, Charles was in touch with Camilla; Diana became aware of it, and went into her psychological decline.
Well, we all know what then ensued; the conspiracy theories are still rife here, concerning her death.
Camilla and Charles never actually 'gave up' their relationship - they have just been very discreet. Now they feel that it is time to marry, and although Camilla will aparently be the Duchess, legislation will be passed in time for her to be 'Queen Camilla' when and if Charles is allowed to be King.
The feeling of the masses here is one that I have now accepted, that Charles and Camilla have now the chance to allow the romance that should have 'flowered ' years ago to come to fruition. It is time to be happy for them; life has indeed been very hard for them.:)

I have two words to say on the subject:

WHO CARES?!?!

:bonk:

Ok, so I have more than two words. Quite frankly, I don't think it's up to the general public to "approve" or "disapprove" of Camilla and Charles. It's nobody's business but theirs what they do, when they do it, for how long and in what position. :rolleyes: If they want to get married, then that's entirely up to them. To quote something someone said to me the other day about this, "If you want to hold a grudge against someone you don't know, for possibly doing something to someone else you don't know, then you need a hobby." Or words to that effect. :p

Well I find it odd because her dad is the bishop of the church of England or something like that. I think he actually did approve of the marriage though, because in his opinion it was better than them sneaking around. I don't think it's right. He should have tried to love Diana and vice versa, instead of them sneaking around on each other. They might've thought they were finding love but hey, falling in love is easy. I honestly think if I wanted to I could fall in love with just about anybody.

Charles bemoans 'no compassion' from British public

Britain_teaser368241.jpg
Prince Charles has claimed he has been shown "no compassion" by the British public as a result of his relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles.

In candid remarks made to a journalist on a trip to Bulgaria, in 2003, Prince Charles claimed his private life had been compromised and hit out at those intent on scaling down the Monarchy.

"I thought the British people were supposed to be compassionate. I don't see much of it," the Prince is reported to have said.

He continued: "I don't see any reason why I should define my private life. All my life, people have been telling me what to do, I'm tired of it.

"My private life has become an industry. People are making money out of it," he complained.

The heir to the throne is due to marry Mrs Parker Bowles in April in a civil ceremony in Windsor.

Wasn't Charles' marriage to Diana more or less an arranged marriage?
From what I've read...yes it was a kind of arranged marriage...Camilla pushed Charles to marry...Diana...

I don't believe he ever loved Diana...she was more like a breeding machine for him....

If he feels like that... he wants his private life... may be he should hand his title over to Prince William....so he can have his private life...while people are paying for him...his private life is their business!
He seems to forgets the people of cornwall keep him and his mistress!

No, their relationship spans decades. A social climber would have moved on long since. I believe they honestly care for each other. Too bad he didn't just tell mummy to take a hike and marry her years ago. One can only assume it was his sense of duty and/or ambition for the throne. It was that same sense of duty or ambition that he let push him into a marriage that he obviously didn't want but which was much more acceptable to the throne.

I thank God every day that I'm just a little cog in the works and can live my life outside the fishbowl.
