Just announced on CNBC Europe.
You saying Harry's illegit?
of course, all Willie wore was a leopard suit and black leggings a la zulus..... not as insulting as wearing a bogus uniform (Afrika Korps with a Swastika? No way) to a FANCY DRESS party....
ALARM - Camilla will be princess consort and not queen
It's common knowledge in the UK.
Are we sure about the last sentence? Not that it matters, mind you. Just wondered if you really really knew.
How old would Princess Diana be now?
Agree, Diana was at least a ditz. I'm happy that Charles and Camilla can at last tie that knot Though they're old and frayed, they still care for each other and should have been married before Charles married Di. QE2 had her royal scepter in that rotten decision, much to her dismay a few years later when Diana turned out to be a passive-aggressive bi-polar lowlife determined to bring the House of Windsor down to suit her personal need for revenge against poor Charley who always wanted Camilla. Phew!
Not exactly a beautiful couple.

BBC says they will marry April 8. Camilla's title is HRH Duchess of Cornwall. Ok, if they wanna get married...FINE....but why should Camilla be HRH? Diana was the mother to the future king and she didn't get to keep HRH. I don't understand.
Wasn't there a recent announcement of a planned trip for Charles to visit the White House in the near future without his friend, Camilla? Maybe the timing of the wedding is such that Camilla can now accompany Charles as his wife.
Diana's offspring will probably be the penaltimate ruination of the British Monarchy. That was her dream anyway.
Diana was HRH, The Princess of Wales. When she divorced, she had to give up the HRH, but kept the Princess stuff (I think part of the divorce settlement). A princess beats a duchess, so Camilla won't have the higher royal title. OMG, do you understand the implications of having Camilla as the most public of princesses??? There go all the fairy tales!
I think you are confusing her mother with Barbara Cartland, the romance novelist... she was something like Diana's step-grandmother, not her mother. I don't think they had much contact. As far as Diana's parents go, I think the more relevant point is the effect on Diana of a broken home and the related fallout after her parents' divorce. Now I have displayed more knowledge of the whole Princess Diana story than I care to admit. My defense is that I was at an impressionable age when she came into the spotlight... now I just find a lot of it tiresome and overhyped (the whole Diana-was-a-saint concept being the ultimate absurdity)....
Camzilla.
I think HRH comes with the marriage. Camilla gets it because they are married. Diana didn't get to keep it when they divorced. If Camilla and Charles divorced, no doubt she would lose it too...
"There go all the fairy tales!"
That's for sure.
I am not sure... in a way, there is something rather fairy-taleish about the lovers, parted by circumstance (or stupidity, I didn't say it's a perfect fairy tale) for more than thirty years, yet finally being reunited, etc., etc. I remember reading an article one time that talked about how Camilla might end up with more public sympathy... a lot of women might root for the unattractive older woman to finally get the prince over the blond beauty. Of course, there is the messy matter of intervening marriages, adultery, etc., etc. But some of the story, I have to admit, strikes me as kind of romantic. It is kind of like the ugly duckling girl finally triumphs over the blond cheerleader (talk about your mixed metaphors there... must get more coffee!).
Sorry, the horse is beautiful. Camzilla is repulsive.
Don't insult horses.
