"Let's set aside the potential moral/legal conflicts inherent in a divorced English sovereign serving ex officio as the governor of a church that does not accept divorce."
Hmmmm...let's set aside the fact that a recent Archbishop of the Church of England basically denied the Virgin Birth and Divinity of Christ.
If they want to keep a monarchy, this post-Christian 'Church' ought not stand in the way - it has lost all moral credibility and the Brits are pagans anyway.
I loved it when ex-patriate rock n roll "Snarl Champion" Ian Hunter wrote 2 scathing songs about Britain for his 2001 "Rant" album: "Death of the Nation" (In which the ghost of Winston Churchill bemoans the catastrophe of today's Britain becoming a "third world nation"), and "Ripoff" ("England is a Ripoff").
Man was I drooling. I guess Ian has gotten more conservative in his middle age....
"I suggest that any man who would trade in Diana Spencer for...Camilla Parker-Bowles...is simply too stupid to be allowed to accede to the throne."
You aren't the first to say this. Apparently Charles father, Prince Phillip said or wrote to Diana that he thought no-one in their right mind would leave Diana for Camilla Parker-Bowles, according to Paul Burrell. Prince Phillip has made it clear for several decades that he thinks his son is too weak-minded to get the throne. He would much preferred Princess Anne to become Queen, if the rules had allowed this, because she has the guts that Charles never had. Now, Prince Phillip may prefer his favorite grandson, Prince William to get the throne. Either way, the senior Royals seem to have their fingers crossed that Charles never becomes King.
You are forgetting one of the great lessons of life - no woman is so beautiful that there isn't a man somewhere who is tired of her s...stuff.
Diana had a fine body & OK face. She also had the brains of a doorknob. She struck me as self-serving, manipulative and an emotional 5 year old.
Camilla has rotten looks (I always expect her to whinney) - but by all accounts, she's very supportive of Charles. And as Charles gets old, that might well be enough.
Besides...some dogs are good in the sack. I'm told. Not that Mrs Rogers...I mean...well, time to change the subject!
