"The marriage of Prince Charles to Camilla Parker Bowles on Saturday just isn't tugging at our heartstrings the same way his marriage to Princess Diana did in 1981," the paper said.

Gee, what an ingenious observation. Could it be because--despite our own moral problems--Americans, deep down inside, know adultery is wrong?

Thank goodness these two are past breeding age. Just try to on a full stomach imagin the coyote ugly kids that would spawn.

Does Charles still want to become a tampon and crawl into her knickers like that Saturday night live skit?

[El Conservador]

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

I didn't need that visual...

*El Conservador promptly proceeds to slit his wrists*

Great point!

When I think of the word "princess" a mental image of my 19 year old daughter comes to mind. Not Mrs. Bowles.

Now you did it. Where are the obligatory pix?

She looks like Hillary to me.......

[TNCMAXQ]

I feel kind of sorry for Camilla. She's not so bad looking. ;)

[OldFriend]

She kind of invites the criticism. However, if she were pretty none of these attacks would be happening tho. Here and abroad, looks are everything.

A lone voice here I see. Could it be that the media determines much of the public's perception? The simple facts are that this lady has been in the position of many, many women. Certainly, and you may agree, this was wrong,(the affair )- if one includes Diana.

Still, as an admirer of women, I will give my undoubted evaluation. This woman is what a working class Londoner would call "Cosy". Ah yes, an nice sympathetic confidante ('eavens these bloomin French words),that's wot she is. My Socialist Liberal spouse, spits daggers at this lady.

Female persons in my family oppose me 5-1. Yet, this is one thing to commend her. She has kept her mouth shut. How many have?. I hope that my whimsical post will be taken as such by all. LOL.

You mean under Charles?

[Iron Matron]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

The Royals are (or were) always told who they could or could not marry, I guess to keep the integrity of the Throne (as if it had any, for some time now).

Charles always loved Camilla, that's what I've heard, but was not allowed to marry her. Now that they have their chance to be happy, I say go for it.

BTW Camillas husband never seemed to have much to say about it - I think he was a "cover", marriage in name only, for whatever reason.

[Peter Libra]

Oh no Oberon. My Socialist Liberal spouse and her sister just visiting Canada from England, saw your post. We had the greatest laugh of her whole visit. Maybe it is the wonderful spring weather that has graced the Great Lakes area.

Ah, as Shakespeares quote- " wicked wit, prithee, a wicked wit". Cheers.

I think the tack shop did a beautiful job on her wedding gown.

[Paul_Denton]

Eeeewwww She looks as repulsive as hitlery.

[Lovergirl]

It's too bad Diana had to be used. My feelings have nothing to do with Camilla's looks. That's shallow. It has to do with the Royals of England using Diana because having children was the most important thing to them. I always loved Princess Diana and I still do. She really got the raw end of the deal.
