In July 1981, the night before his glamorous wedding to Princess Diana, Prince Charles reportedly wept as he was still torn about his feelings for his former girlfriend (and then-mistress) Camilla Parker-Bowles.

According to Prince Charles: The Passions and Paradoxes of an Improbable Life, a new biography of the Prince of Wales by royal writer Sally Bedell Smith, Charles felt pressured into his marriage to Diana — and he was still torn abut his love for the then-married Camilla.

“He may never be King. I can see the Queen bypassing him for William or even George.”

I don’t think the Queen can do that.

>>I wouldn’t be surprised he was a closet gay.<<

He may never be King.

No, but he might be the Queen.

Stuff a little ginger root under her tail and I hear Camilla’s a real firecracker.

Landed the only chick in Britain with decent teeth and he was crying?

And maybe one of the few non-smokers.

"I can see the Queen bypassing him for William or even George".

Can't happen...by British succession law.

When she dies, Charles will be king.

You can’t predict love, and some people just like the looks of a horse such as Camilla....

Poor man. He may never be King. I can see the Queen bypassing him for William or even George.

Good. He's an a-hole.

Remember the early morning after she died. Lived in the UK at the time. Hubby went down to make us cups of tea. Switched on BBC Radio 2. Hubby said.... “Someone has died.”

So pretty. I am still so sad about what she went through and her tragic death.

Really? I wonder how she felt. He clearly got the clean end of the stick in that equation.

According to the article: "Shortly after Camilla and Charles broke up [in 1973], she reconciled with Parker-Bowles and they got married in 1973."

Camilla couldn't have been too heart-broken over the split, because she didn't waste any time marrying her old boyfriend.

"if he was forced to marry Diana, it was for a genetic boost to the family line..."

I remember reading she had more royal blood than he did. Her father was descended through Charles I, as well as several other European monarchs.

Let’s hope so. Charles is a certified looney. He loves Islam (which is ruining England) and he’s all in on the climate change hoax.

I wonder if his foot has ever gotten stuck in the stirrup when he dismounts her.

“”if he was forced to marry Diana, it was for a genetic boost to the family line...””

Yes, fortunately their children didn’t get Charles eyes. He’s one of the few people on the earth today who can see through a keyhole with both eyes at the same time.
