There go all the fairy tales!

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!).

I find your synopsis horrible! Ugly duckling girl was a homewrecking whore, blond cheerleader was horribly mislead into believing that her Prince loved her and was miserable to find out he didn't. You act like CPB is the victim here!

As I've read it, they weren't parted for 30 years but have been carrying on behind the scenes for many years now, even while Charles and Diana were married. Kinda takes some of the romance out of it for me.

Guess having an affair is not a big deal to most people,,,or at least it's okay if you're really in love with the person you're cheating with,,,wouldn't want to do the honest thing and end the shambled relationship to be with your love,,,just pretend and deceive,,,and ,,,it's all kinda sickening really.
