She is not ugly, she is an older woman (like your mothers), and he is an older man. Is he supposed to find a young girl he doesn't love, one without character and has nothing in common with him so the public's shallowness can be appeased? I am glad he is marrying her. He has loved her forever. He should have married her long ago. This one will last.

I would like explained to me, as a woman, why so many comments are derogatory to her because of her lack of youthful beauty? Don't you people have any other reason to hate her, or is not looking like a model sufficient? There are many ugly (not just older, but actually ugly) republican women. Is it appropriate for democrats to make light of the fact that they aren't pretty? Why is it it that we women are judged on our appearance, and not the content of our intelligence and character?


I do see that you do have a point anthough I admit I would be curious to see a picture of Camilla Parker Bowles when she was younger. Personally, I think he should have married her "way back when" when he first fell in love with her, IIRC, they hung around together in their late teens or early 20's. Diana, unfortunatly, was a trophy wife, but to remain true, he should have just married Camilla in the beginning and leave it at that instead of "alley catting" around on Diana.

I agree, but we are dealing with 'traditional' royalty. Charles wasn't alley catting, because alley cats don't discriminate. The only woman he had an affair with was the one he loved. By the time he got back from his long trip, Camilla had already married, believing Charles wouldn't marry her. He needed aires. Diana had several affairs.

I looked for a pic of Camilla when she was younger and couldn't find one. I couldn't even find a quote from her anywhere. Some articles say she was pretty, others say not. To be fair, she was probably an average woman. There isn't much info on her life. One thing I found interesting was her love for fox hunting. She is a fundraiser for an osteoporosis foundation, her mom died of the disease. Her friends and charity co-workers are feircely protective of her. She has never worked a regular job, but is highly educated and is said to be witty and have a good sense of humor.
