Poor Charles. He was a twit, like many royals, but unfortunately a twit who lived in a time when royal twits were no longer protected from the press.

I think he and Camilla were a match made in heaven - the classic British horsey couple - and they probably would have been very happy together and he would have been a very conservative gentleman from some very remote county.

As it is, the poor guy is a Sufi (well, at one point, it appears that he was a member of this "mystical" Muslim sect), he can't marry his county girlfriend, and the press is looking for anything they can find.

Give him a break. He's not worth the time of day, as we say in the US. And his mother is immortal, in any case, so he'll never be king and nobody will ever have to worry about him again.

I think Prince Charles is taking the heat for Prince Phillip!

Although the "newsies" report these events as involving royals and commoners, an almost half-hearted genealogical search will discover that virtually ALL of the people who get within 100 feet of any of the royals are their cousins!

This stuff is "all in the family".
