Fawcett?

[Maximilian]

This was the plot of a really great BBC mini-series "To Play the King." Was it based on reality?

[AxelPaulsenJr]

New York Times - 2 hours ago

... allegation (although no one has said so publicly) has to do with purported sexual
contact between Prince Charles, the heir to the throne, and Michael Fawcett, ...

Another story says Princess Diana had whatever this allegation is on that tape she made. Interesting.

[Xenalyte]

I give up . . . what happened?

[Michael.SF.]

Or the other way around?

[AxelPaulsenJr]

He has been banned or suspended, we are not sure which.

[Flux Capacitor]

Really though, folks, give Chuck a break.... after a decade and a half of THIS,
there are far more bizarre things he could have turned to.

I wonder if Queen Elizabeth will provide the same "solution" to this problem as the king in Bravehart did...

[dennisw]

Michael Fawcett, The Prince's Butt Boy?

Nope, if at all it's the other way around.

PRINCE CHARLES GAY RUMOR

Why would anyone think that?

[ErnBatavia]

Looks like one of the entries in the Palm Springs Pride Parade.

Just this morning I was wishing for a diversion story for the media to pick up on. Kobe, Peterson and now Jessica are real old. I was wishing for something like a Hollywood liberal caught in a scandalous murder of their lover's spouse. Something to just let the mind take a break for awhile.

I got my wish when the Prince swished onto the scene.

How in the heck will they make this be the President's fault?

[Cicero]

Well, there was Edward II, subject of Marlowe's tragedy. He was executed according to his sins.

And there was James I and his pal, the Duke of Buckingham. (When someone complained that the King was was too close to the Duke, James, who thought himself divine, is said to have responded: "Jesus had his John, and I have my Charles.")

[FeliciaCat]

I dont know why Camilla gets such a bad rap...she isnt dog ugly, just weathered. She is from the horsey set and enjoys horse riding/dogs/country living. She doenst go in for the plastic surgery/botox scene, just ages naturally. I think the press has been really unkind to her about her looks - She looks like alot of surburban 40ish moms, no better and no worse.

[Calamari]

Why the flap? From all that the liberal press would have you believe, there is nothing wrong with being 'gay'. I have even gotten the impression that it is desirable to being 'straight'. Wouldn't the press want to trumpet the leadership position taken by the next King of England? Confusing.

[mseltzer]

Maybe a leaky Fawcett?

[onedoug]

Rathah....
