I agree. The Queen’s spawn are idiots but I think the grandson Prince William seems to be a fairly decent person.

Me too. Camilla used to dress in crappy clothes and looked horrible. But she has great clothes now, and probably a facelift.

Does that sound superficial? Well, so is the crown. I love all the pomp and circumstance of the Brits, do not give one single hoot in hell whether it’s superficial. Lizzy has had a long and wonderful run.

I.m old enough to remember her radio broadcasts during WW2 telling people to be brave. She was a young teen then. The BRF stayed in London while it was being bombed by the Nazis, though any family that could sent their kids up north where it was safer. An excellent monarch, now responsible for a lot of tourism, which brings in the bucks. I’ve been to London and absolutely love the pomp and circumstance.

Will Charles and William ever feel free to cone forward with their religious persuasion?

This is a misleading headline and not true.
The Queen is Queen Regnant, a female monarch equivalent in rank and title to a king, who reigns in her own right.   A Queen Consort is the wife of a reigning king.
They are not the same.

George Washington would think Americans were nuts for giving a rat’s butt about the phony monarchy.

That is not true either.   I have read the biography of George Washington by Washington Irving, which was filled with contemporary witnesses, and it is clear that George Washington gave all due deference to King George as the monarch of England.   Our American Revolution was not like the French Revolution where their King was put to death.

Our Revolution severed ties with our mother country because of the offences identified in our Declaration of Independence.

Washington never received the commission in the British Army he wanted. At best he was a Colonel in the Virginia Militia. The Brits wouldn’t give him the commission he wanted, and thank God for it.

OK, she’s a consort, what were the other options?

"Consort" simply means spouse. A Queen Consort is Queen without sharing the royal bloodline. Diana would have been Queen Consort; Kate will be Queen Consort

The other option for Camilla would have been "Princess Consort" when Charles takes the throne. Now she will be Queen.

I think she's served the Firm well since marrying Charles in 2005 --- and the people love her.

Saw this comment on one of the British tabs websites...

“Camilla destroyed two families and two marriages in her quest for the crown.”

But she had help, didn’t she?

From the House of Windsor.

“Consort” CAN mean a spouse, but not necessarily. Can be a lover, companion, etc. Apparently now it can mean a horse.

That dolt Charles should’ve married Camilla from the get-go since he loved her and never loved Diana. Why ruin a young girl’s life? I never got caught up in the whole royal thing, but was Diana chosen for him to produce a certain bloodline for the throne?

Well Charles did say that Camilla was non-negotiable.

Snort.

But weak-willed degenerates are a thing these days in the UK. Here's another guy being led around by his dumb handle...

Carrie uncovered: The explosive book by LORD ASHCROFT that's set Westminster alight - including a close friend's claim that 'Carrie is the reason Boris has squandered the chance to become a great Prime Minister'

As I see it Camilla's like putting lipstick on a pig... She did destroy two families.

Good point, except for the horse reference.

When she dies it will effectively mark the end of the monarchy. It will remain but lose all it’s luster.

Camilla did no such thing. She and Charles are close with her children, and his ... along with a slew of grandchildren.

As I said earlier. Camilla's served the royal family well since marrying Charles 17 years ago .... and she's done it without making it all about herself.

And this "pig", as you call her, was the royal most gracious to the Trumps during their state visit.

The story is more that Camill and Charles were already in pove before either got married to other people. Diana was an aristocrat, albeit minor. Charles just continued with Camilla.
