King Charles & Queen Camilla celebrate 20 years of marriage today!

Such hatred and bitterness ,

I agree with every word you've said M0nica. I couldn't have put it better myself.

^Yes, but obviously not to the people themselves. The same way I would comment on anyone who built their life on the destruction of someone elses, life, reputation or happiness.^
Which covers just about all the divorcees in the world. But it seems so many feel talking about them behind their backs is acceptable.

No it doesn't. Most divorces that have come my way, I have seen with sadness.

It is those circumstances where one person deliberately sets out to destroy something or makes false promises that they have every intention of breaking from the start and that covers far more in life than just broken marriage. Most marriages start off with the best of intentions on both sides, that some later fall apart is a tragedy and the future happiness of all parties is rarely based on the deliberate destruction of a previous partner.

There are 2 people I hold in total comtempt for their betrayal of others weaker or more junior than themselves. In neither case is any form of romantic relationship involved.

Explain please RosieandherMaw.

There are always those ready to take the moral high ground, Mollygrow. We should have sympathy, I suppose. Where would they be without their gossip ?

Ooh, heavy irony.
Pots and kettles?

Do posters in real life comment favourably or unfavourably on the divorces and remarriages of anyone and everyone they know, or don’t know, when a wedding anniversary comes up?
Just asking.

I see we have thd usual run of those "without sin" casting their stones.

I'm always pleased to see people find happiness after a marriage that is, or becomes loveless.

Yes, but obviously not to the people themselves. The same way I would comment on anyone who built their life on the destruction of someone elses, life, reputation or happiness.

They aren’t anyone though are they?

Who are ‘they?’ The King and Queen?

If so, well, that’s who they are. Unsurprisingly.

They aren't anyone though are they? If a soap opera is created then we can't be surprised if people comment on it.

Well, obsessed, het up, whatever, any threads about the Royals generate plenty of responses, good or bad, so they are a popular topic for GN.

Anniebach you are obsessed with Diana, like a broken record!

I find that comment rude, Annie has a opinion which she expresses, you hold a different one, that is fine too. People on both sides get very het up where the Royals are concerned. I have to say they do not bother me much.

Mrs Carling did speak out, Mrs Hoare did report 300 phone calls , Mrs Manakee, I felt so sorry for her, the affair, Diana saying she was only happy when he was around, and she didn’t
like where he was buried, his poor wife

“Diana's affairs were mainly with single, unmarried men, no children. “ Netherby.

I think the affairs Diana was alleged to have had were fairly evenly split between single men like Hewitt, Gilbert and Khan and the married ones.

Mannakee, (her bodyguard),Carling and Hoare had wives who probably felt there were three people in their marriages but they didn’t get to whinge about it on tv!

Yes young and so wanted to please daddy, she should have been a boy, who can remember his interview the day of the wedding, sickening

Goodness me, that's rather strong M0nica!

I would say they were two unsuited people, he was coerced into the marriage, she was young, naïve and had misgivings too.

The result was that they made each other unhappy.

MOnica some do not have selective memories of the first marriages as do you.

Ever wonder if the sons had problems with their mother’s many affairs ?

The Kings first marriage was an abusive marriage and he was the abuser. Abused people often behave stupidly. The King is now married to the woman who caused the unpleasant way his first marriage broke up.

His sons are the victims of this domestic upheaval.

Congratulations to King Charles and Queen Camilla on your 20th Wedding Anniversary.

Do tell, was every girl dated checked for virginity? Was Camilla,
Sarah Spencer, Amanda Knatchbull examined for torn hymen
or did their parents instructed them to ‘Keep your knickers on’ ?

The current Queen didn’t want to marry the King as a young woman

But did he ever ask her?

According to reports at the time, Camilla was deemed ‘unsuitable’ as the wife of a future King, as she wasn’t a virginal innocent, which you needed to be back then. Dual standards, of course, as it was ok for the blokes to sow their wild oats. And Charles was shipped off on his ship for several months, by which time Camilla was snapped up by APB.

It all seems laughable now, but times change, even in Royal circles.

‘Look what your missing’ , rather sad really , ‘look what I have to offer’ , so many affairs
