I'm going to hate myself for reading this, but somehow I'll manage.

It is sad when the Queen would rather get to the limo and watch a horse race instead of spend time at her son's wedding. (even to his courtesan)

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Here's my take on it.

Suppose my son(purely hypothetical, I have no children), a married man starts messing around with a second woman and nothing I say can possibly stop him. He sires two children with his wife while at the same time screwing the pooch.

(At this point, I'm telling his wife she needs to look to greener pastures because I've failed in raising my son and he's a sorry little bastard.)

They divorce and he takes up with the whore who he cheated on his wife with. They are now opening living in sin, shaming the family name and making a spectacle of themselves.

He comes and tells me "Guess what pop, I'm marring (BEEP) and I want you to be there for me." I try to reason with him that he's already made some really bad mistakes, he doesn't really want to compound the matter by making the mother of all mistakes.

Things devolve into a shouting match and rather than exercise my anger on his hide, I let him leave mostly intact. The wedding is set and I am forced by other family members(not to mention the requirements of protocol)to attend the fiasco.

You can bet your shiny (insert particular skintone here) arse I'm not going to embrace the whore who married my soon to be disowned son. She will be lucky if I don't have her disappeared in the middle of the night and blame a group of mohammadans for her disappearance.

HRH Queen Elizabeth II acted with more poise and grace than I would have ever managed under the circumstances, she should be applauded for not kicking the rottweiler.

I don't think Camilla gives a damn either. She's got Charles, and he's got her-- I think that's enough for the two of them. Now maybe they'll vanish for a while. I hope.

[Willie Green]

Hers featured a feather that was too dark, not nuptial-looking. It looked too autumnal, not spring-like.

It looked like an empty bird's nest.

[Vor Lady]

Maybe one of the British Freepers could clarify this, but couldn't Elizabeth II abdicate in favor of William if she wanted to?

[gopwinsin04]

The whole ceremony was like a 20 car pileup, I know I shouldn't want to look...but still

[John Lenin]

After hearing the real story on Camilla, she ain't seen nothin yet.

[Sabatier]

"Deja Vu. Isn't that what Camilla did when she attended her lover's wedding to Diana?"

In footage they showed of Camilla at Charles' first wedding it sure looked like she was wearing white.

[gopwinsin04]

My guess is that one minute for pictures is the very least HRH could get away with and not have it turn into an international incident.

[cubreporter]

You are blaming Camilla for the whole thing and you are wrong. Charles was a grown man and he didn't have to continue on even though Camilla was the love of his life. Diana chose to cheat too only you call it finding love and affection. What's the difference? Both were still married.

[TheSpottedOwl]

The Crown Prince of Russia was a hemophiliac, some say caused by the rampant inbreeding between royalty. The Empress was so desperate that she enlisted Rasputin to cure her son. "The Mad Monk" opened the door for the Bolsheviks to turn public opinion against the royal family, and they were slaughtered along with their servants. No seriously, they were butchered.

Murder is never right. They should have been exiled. I like tradition, so I'm okay with royal families and monarchies.

[clintonh8r]

I agree. Charles and Camilla deserve a break. That guy has been through hell. I don't envy his life one bit. Now that he's finally married the woman he's always loved, people should get off his back. Personally, I hope they'll find happiness in the time they have left.

[woofie]

I blame the Duke of Wellington

[nothingnew]

Bloody bleedin' 'ell is all I can bleedin' bloody say. Me tongue sticks to the roof of my bloody bleedin' mouf when I thinks of the bloody way 'er Majesty (who doesn't 'ave shit all over 'er) treats this poor bloody bleedin' woman.

My mother looked very nice at 57, which was amazing because she was dealing with bereavement over the recent death of her 20-year-old son, the decline of her own mother's health, and the post-traumatic financial, emotional, and physical collapse of her husband, which forced her to become the sole breadwinner of the family after never having worked outside the home.

Most people cannot help their looks; but, given the resources available to her, Camilla does not appear to be taking full advantage of the opportunity. The marvelous thing about her looks is that it proves that you don't have to be a beauty queen to finally get the guy of your dreams. Secondly, it reassures others that he's really in love, and not just after her because she is a trophy, acquired to satisfy the needs of a weak ego.

[litehaus]

Well,,,,,,,,,,,that's another way of looking at it! LOL....

[RoseofTexas]

Some news reporter on the tube made a comment about her head piece and said she specifically asked for this style of Quill hat because it represents all the nasty articles written about her relationship with Charles and her personal looks, or something like that, in other words she was giving the presstitutes the middle finger!! Bawhahhahah...she got her man!

[MHT]

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

[gopwinsin04]

Camilla was also supposedly wearing Diana's
'Princess of Wales' title pin on her lapel yesterday, this courtesan thinks she is going to be queen!
