Who really cares enough about Charles to want to kill him? He’s become a bit of a nonentity.

You got that right. The Queen is so taken aback at Charles “the tampon” that she’s going to give the crown to William, bypassing Charles altogether. Hmmmmm, maybe there’s more to this story?

Can she do that? I thought Parliament could force Charles to abdicate but this is the first I’ve heard that Elizabeth could name her successor.

There’s been talk that Charles would be bypassed, but I don’t think the Queen gets a say, at least not officially.

Even Camilla doesn’t deserve to be bombed. Haltered and trotted yes, but not blown up.

Well, my above comment is wrong. According to RoyalCentral.com, the Queen cannot but the Parliament can.

Don’t make fun of Camilla. She’s the glue that holds the monarchy together.

Or could be...

I have a feeling the IRA is not that desperate. Bomb making materiel can be a box of Tide and a 9 volt battery. :-)

I never thought I’d side with the IRA.

Blowing up the giant walking tampon somehow seems like common sense.

Yep, makes no sense to plot to kill a guy who's not worth killin'.

Camilla is the only person on Planet Earth that ever loved Charles for the person he is/was. She provided the emotional understanding that no one else ever did. Even though he is heir to the throne, he had a horrible childhood. He was sent away to boarding school at a young age, as Prince Phillip said, ‘to toughen him up.’

In boarding school, the other kids made fun of Charles, and because of his youth, slight physical build, and protruding ears, they were also bullying and physically abusive, and once held him upside down with his head in a toilet. Charles ‘somehow’ received a broken arm during those childhood boarding school years.

There was a photo of a very small boy waiting for the arrival of his mother returning from an extended trip, when she appeared, he was allowed to shake her hand. No hugs, no other emotion was shown by either of them.

He never knew for sure whether girls were only dating him because he was a Prince. Camilla understood, loved, and accepted the man he was and became.

The path they traveled was unfortunate, but she really is the glue who held the Monarchy together with her emotional, (and physical) support.

(Camilla can’t help *her* physical appearance, she does the best she can with what she has; Diana was pretty to look at, but was truly an uneducated, low IQ, mental case.)

Flame away...

Well, Diana supposedly manipulated the media rather skillfully, which does indicate at least some degree of intelligence. Also, if what you say about Charles’s childhood is true, no wonder he wanted Camilla. She was possibly the only person who truly cared about him. It’s kind of sad, really.
