"Charles, I told you not to have the fish and chips."
I don’t understand the negative feelings expressed here on FR toward Charles and Camilla. Perhaps it is class envy. Perhaps some found Diana to be attractive and blame Camilla for the breakup. Perhaps it’s a Friday night, glass of wine phenomenon.
No kidding. Have you seen what it has done to Caroline Kennedy?
Diana threw herself from a tree onto her sister’s ex-boyfriend. She couldn’t graduate high school, so parlayed her long legs, blond hair, youth and virginity into royalty. She was no human sacrifice.
She left 17 million pounds to each of her sons, 50,000 pounds to her butler and not a shilling to Pediatric Aids research, that for which she was soliciting all your hard-earned funds her whole blessed life. She sat on a bench in front of the Taj Mahal, the ‘monument to love’ (read the back story on that one) and sighed, “Where there is no love, I can give love.” Well, apparently, there was no love in the castle in Spain because she gave it there, too. Stop glorifying her, for crying out loud. She had the most gorgeous legs and that was it.
I’m sorry you have no sense of humor. If you had offered a caption, maybe you might have even had a chuckle. Don’t take the world serious.
Maybe if Charles had had his “royal posterior’ whipped when he pinched and drank that Cherry Brandy at age 12, he may have straighten up...
And been a half decent chap...
The Duke wanted to do it, but the Queen said “not on that majestic bum”
And the rest is history...
Your Etonian school chum mentality is not understood here in the states...
I will continue to think her life was kind of a sad one and it's a pity it didn't go better. You go ahead and feel however you want about her.
He couldnt marry Camilla because...
1. She was married to someone else...
2. Then she was divorced and as future king he couldnt be married to a divorcee. Church of England rules.
Yes, he has married her now but not without a row...
Diana come into that mess apparantly not knowing about Camilla...
Charles does not appear to have a romantic bone in his body...
He is not his Great-Uncle Edward...
It’d be nice if people could base their opinions on something other than misreported newspaper articles. Unfortunately for most people that’s all there is. The media chooses to present a caricature of the Prince that has only a limited link to reality.
First of all, HRH did not ‘pinch’ any cherry brandy. He ordered it in a pub.
Secondly, he was also not 12 at the time, but 14.
Thirdly, he was caned for doing so and it was by no means the only time he was caned. He was caned at school by schoolmasters and at home by his father.
The Prince is a ‘decent chap.’ He served his country in the military for five years, and has served it in other ways his entire life, virtually always putting his own desires behind the needs of his country and his people and living a life of duty towards them. Yes, he’s a little odd in some ways, though not as odd as some people seem to think. He’s limited in the issues he’s allowed to talk about because of his current and future consitutional roles which means a lot of the time, he can only talk about fairly fringe issues where his views would not bring him into conflict with Her Majesty’s government.
"Oh Camilla....I've sat on me balls..."
I confess, I checked your FR page! lol
Loved your “Geico” pic.
Heh. Thank you.
