Don't downgrade your own opinion like that.

People should get over Charles and Camilla. The shame of it is that Charles & Camilla really loved each other for all of those years but didn't or couldn't act on it. Charles went through the motions of a marriage to Diana because he was supposed to, and Diana was just a starstruck girl who became disenchanted with the whole thing.

I was actually just trying to make a joke about people and opinions........without going to the standard line about we all have them, like other things.

Personally, I don't give a flying flip if he marries her or his polo pony.

I do question whether he is really able to assume the mantle ofthe crown considering how much of a wuss he was in bowing to marrying someone other than the woman he loved/loves. I have no doubt he really and truly loves Camilla and do not understand why so many would deny him the happiness he apparently will get from this marriage.

I've got no use for him, and never have - but apparently she sees something in him.

There are many people whose beef with Charles have nothing to do with his marital status or record. They regard the Prince Charles as like Michael Moore on religious "ecumenism", environmentalism, WOT, etc. Now it is no big deal if he does not try to promote them openly but the fact is that he is trying to raise his stance to public prominence (something which no monarch since George V had done - although his son Edward VIII or later the Duke of Windsor had tried). In other words, he could be trying to breach the constitutional limits his ancestors had gradually set.

In contrast, Prince William is more conventional in his worldview. It is said that he is politically much more moderate than his father and could well be quite conservative when compared with Charles.
