Camilla

That’s what I read Aveline. Camilla loved Parker Bowles

Just looking at the timing Camilla married Parker Bowles while Charles was at sea. If she'd been that keen on him she wouldn't have done so.

How?

Why should Anniebach divulge her sources?

There are many lies that have been told and hearing and repeating the lies in the media makes me cross. However, divulging sources would be a breach of confidence.

I read that Charles wanted to marry Camilla after his world travels and the lifestyle encouraged by Mountbatten. By then Camilla was married and loved PBowles. He was a real philanderer and she and Charles drifted back into a sexual relationship. Fidelity and stable marriages weren’t common in their circles

Nit picking, but royal walkabouts took place before Diana, the late Queen did them for her Silver Jubilee tours in 1977.

Diana introduced a much more natural, easy going relationship with the public though.

King George V and Queen Mary are in fact credited with the first royal walkabout.
In June 1912, George V and Queen Mary visited south Wales and met coal miners at work in the pits of the Rhondda Valley. The Queen had a cup of tea in a miner’s cottage. They met working people and did so informally, not in ‘tall hats and black coats’, but in ‘ordinary country clothes’. The visit was an astonishing success and the template for a new kind of royal tour.

How?

I KNOW

Anniebach

They didn’t want to marry

How do you KNOW that?!

They didn’t want to marry

And when we choose sarcasm

Or quote sarcasm

I loved Diana, but Charles and her were not suited at all. He was required to produce an heir. They should have let him marry Camilla on the first place

No time for her, Charles or any of them. Diana was a lamb to the slaughter. Camilla helped set up that marriage. Diana wasn't perfect no one is.

She was used as a breeding machine and discarded when H was born as the heir and the spare were now provided.

With her difficult childhood and used as she was it's no wonder she had M/H problems. Her affairs were a response and looking for love.

Camilla and Chatles never stopped seeing each other.

As for Camilla she has been proved as all the royal leaks, lies and twisting of the truth have come from her.

After the Queen passed the monarchy finished for me.

I don't care that Charles and Camilla are good for each other. They are alive. Diana isn't.

The country would probably be more accepting of them, if Diana had lived.

Everyone I speak to and know of aren't interested in the ConANation

Thank you Keffie12
Your post puts the whole thing in a nutshell.
Royalty finished with the Queen's passing.
Talk about "shooting yourself in the foot"

*Only some* of the country was breaking its heart over Diana’s death, the same way as only some of the country are for or against Camilla.
Some had as poor an opinion of Diana as others now have about Camilla.

Totally agree. I had absolutely no feelings at all about the death of a woman whom I had never met. I was totally horrified at the total hysteria which seemed to engulf so many. At least most of my friends and colleagues did not go along that path. I really do not care if some woman has a silly title of Queen or Queen consort. Think ALL titles should be abolished. Diana's death made absolutely no difference to the lives of me and mine, the whole paraphanalia this coming weekend will also make difference in any way.

In a world where Trump can become president of the USA (and is likely to get the nomination to run again) and Johnson can become PM of this country with a massive majority I think anything is possible. And Charles is probably the lesser of many evils! I sometimes feel as if I’m living in some sort of alternative universe

Some sort of horrible nightmare Keep hoping I am going to wake up (have a shower!), and when I leave that none of the above will have happened also including Brexit!!!

Do we know the women in the royal family want to work ?

Anniebach

There was nothing said about Armstrong Jones whilst he was married to Margaret.

The media chooses who hits the front pages,

But that's not the point.None of the women who marry into the RF would be allowed to behave in such a way.
TAJ never gave up his independence he always worked.

There was nothing said about Armstrong Jones whilst he was married to Margaret.

The media chooses who hits the front pages,

Tim Lawrence -worked for the RF so continued in much the same role.
Prince Philip- lived a very independent and colourful life.
Anthony Armstrong Jones- Oh come on everyone knows his history really. Margaret was a step in his photographic career. He was a bisexual philanderer who did as he liked.
None of them stopped doing what they had always done before they married.

Tim Lawrence. Prince Phillip, Armstrong Jones,

So few Aveline

Like who Anniebach? I think Galaxy is spot on.

No different to the men who marry into the royal family.

I spent 10 years working for an HIV charity in the nineties, I cant tell you how much difference Diana made to people living with HIV. She wasnt the only one but she was very important.
One of the things I find almost impossible about the RF and the public's reaction to it, is the way women are viewed/treated, there's a particular way to behave for royal women ad heaven help you if you fall short. You cant be too outgoing, or too shy, or have sex, or a hundred other rules that seem to apply much more to women (especially women who marry into it) than to men.
