I didn't watch anything after the ceremony. They all walked out of the church, the queen got into her limo, everybody else got on buses and they took off. Nobody was taking any time to pose for family pictures.

The Queen should have stayed out of her son's love life and never forced Charles to marry Diana in the first place. He loved Camilla and would have eventually married her anyway, as he has done. Even her ex-husband showed up at the wedding. The Queen should have been as gracious.

I have surprised myself because I hate home wreckers. However, I see the Queen as the one at fault here and the cause of Diana's pain.

Oh wow, so you are saying that the Queen must've been have been incensed when she saw Camilla sitting on the pew at Diana's wedding wearing white...I didn't know that! So she intentionally wore WHITE to stick it to her...Queen Elizabeth has a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONGGG memory!!

Camilla has always maintained that she wants to be known as the Dutchess of Cornwall and not the Princess of Wales.

But she seems to be warming the official jewelry on the big day...

Yes, Gearge's father as the Queen.
George as Prince Charles.
Kramer as Camilla.

Agreed--a bird's nest. Now, for the hard part--name the bird.

It was too big to be a sparrow's nest...
I think it must've been either a robin or a starling.

She is more appropriate for Charles anyway.

,,, you're right. Dianna was neurotic but knew how to work the room insofar as the media was concerned. This replacement looks like she's got stretch marks on her face but I'd say she's got brains enough to make it in the long run... certainly she's shown she's got patience.

I feel really bad for Camilla. Charles should've been allowed to marry her when they were younger but simply because she wasn't 'royal' enough, he was forbidden and then resorted to marrying Diana years later. In the mean time, here's a couple who've always been in love with each other forced to marry others just because of family status.

At last, after more than 35 years, they're finally together as husband and wife.

I think they deserve the chance to finally be happy together. And screw the queen for making her children's lives miserable (even one of her daughters was forbidden to marry the man she loved just because his family's blood wasn't blue enough).

It's obvious now the queen will never give up her throne to Charles unless it's feet first and doesn't have the decency of her own mother.

Charles will be king one day and Camille will become queen. His mother won't be around forever. Charles will just be patient and wait his turn. Goodluck Charles and Camille.

Isn't the Queen still one of the richest people in the world and the only billionairess? (Mostly base on real estate holdings now a days)

Probably. And she worked so hard for all of it, the poor dear. She must have used the Carlton Sheets course.

But it is tradition for the family to pose for the unofficial/casual wedding pictures on the steps.

53 seconds is a major slap to Charles and Camilla, no matter what.

Personally I think she looks pretty damn good for a 57 yr old woman. I'm curoius to know how your mother looked at that age.

I have to step out of lurk mode to second that!

Yes, but sometimes killing is.

> I like tradition, so I'm okay with royal families and monarchies.

Good for you. The world needs subservient "subject" types, along with "citizens." But try to install royalty over *me* and you'll have a problem.

When she opens her mouth, she does have British teeth, but that aside, this picture is evidence that Camilla is far from being the ugly one in the marriage:

The Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand by all accounts wasn't a very likeable person, and probably would have been a disastrous emperor if he hadn't managed to get himself assassinated in 1914...but when he fell in love with a woman he insisted on marrying her, despite the strenuous efforts of the Emperor to prevent it. Prince Charles fell in love with Camilla and should have married her to begin with, instead of bowing to expectations. I have greater respect than I used to have for Franz Ferdinand.

The polls say the Brits would rather have young Prince William succeed Queen Elizabeth, passing over Prince Charles. They love him because of his mother. There was a similar case in the Roman Empire, of a young prince who was beloved because of the affection people had had for his father. The prince finally did become emperor, and is known to history as Caligula.

One of Sam Walton's daughters may also have a billion, I think they are the only ones.

I didn't see Charles and Diana posing on any steps immediately after their wedding ceremony.

But you know what, I really don't care about any of that mess.

I was only looking at the dresses and the silly hats. The best(worst!) one was the girl wearing the wide-brimmed white hat that looked like everybody threw their used Kleenexes onto it.

Correct, the public polls now say 58 percent want William as King.

Pray they never get Harry down the road, he could make a likely candidate for Caligula!
