... are to go on American TV to explain their relationship since the very beginning. They have stated that they love America and its peoples. I wonder if this is to pave the way for another King George.

I like Camilla.

Ana Wed 11-Mar-15 14:07:28

I agree with those in support of Camilla - she sounds like a woman after my own heart! grin

I agree totally absent
I met Camilla many times when she lived locally, and she was probably the least pretentious woman I've ever met. HRH should have married her regardless of the fact she was divorced and stood up to the Establishment.

Good for Charles, whatever the rights and wrongs , Camilla has taken much flack and kept quiet , no public dirty washing or simpering , no camera seeking, she just gets on with life

Having read the article I think you are reading much more into this than is actually there CR.

I have great admiration for the Duchess of Cornwall. Okay... she and HRH had an affair(relationship) when they were very young, HRH bottled it and went off on a Commonweatlh tour and when he came back- Camilla had probably though 'Well sod blow you Charlie, I've had a more positive offer' . This was the 60's don't forget, marriage was very important back then!So if there is any blame in this sad episode I'd lay it at numerous doors... HRH for being such a ditherer, the 2 grannies... the Queen Mum
and Lady Fermoy (princess Diana's granny) for being a pair of interferring old biddiesgrin and the 'Palace' machinery who grinds relentlessly on with outdated ideas and protocol..... or did. I think they might have had the reins of power gently removed lately.

The 'Diana's death theorists' are alive and well in the USA. I hope HRH can shoot some of them out of the sky (or the internet). They are a pain in the proverbial arse with their stupid adoration of a woman they didn't even know.

Those pictures are nice. Camilla gets more attractive by the day.

Thanks!

Storm in a Boston Teacup? grin

Ana Wed 11-Mar-15 12:26:55

This is all I can find, from which it seems the interview has already been filmed and will be shown in the US three days before the start of F & G's trip to Washington.

Oh dear..

rosequartz Wed 11-Mar-15 12:09:51

CelticRose I can't find anything re this (--can't be bothered-- no time to look)
Can you put on a link please?

rosequartz Wed 11-Mar-15 12:06:42

Didn't King George lose us America in the first place?

Are they taking plenty of tea with them? grin

Anniebach Wed 11-Mar-15 11:41:04

I thought all this rubbish ended with Diana , I don't think they will do it , why do it , nothing to gain . Think the queen will need Valium , poor woman , and Phillip will have to be pulled off the ceiling

Galen Wed 11-Mar-15 11:37:36

hmm

loopylou Wed 11-Mar-15 11:35:38

Cringing already sad.........

Ariadne Wed 11-Mar-15 11:17:18

Oh, I love the Fred and Gladys bit!

But horrified at the thought of them being let loose....

tanith Wed 11-Mar-15 11:10:49

Blimey they really do live on another planet if they think thats going to work.

merlotgran Wed 11-Mar-15 11:07:16

Didn't King George lose us America in the first place?

Is this a cunning plan to by-pass the Middletons grin

janerowena Wed 11-Mar-15 10:51:33

Oh dear, somebody let them out on their own!

loopylou Wed 11-Mar-15 10:48:58

Gordon Bennett!
Will HRH ever learn?

rosequartz Wed 11-Mar-15 10:47:41

Are they appearing on April 1st?

GrannyTwice Wed 11-Mar-15 10:04:22

Is this really true?

Ana Wed 11-Mar-15 10:02:58

off

Ana Wed 11-Mar-15 10:02:44

Another King George? confused

That'll be a good few years of yet...

Anya Wed 11-Mar-15 10:00:46

Who's daft idea was this?

Anniebach Wed 11-Mar-15 09:53:32

No, please let this not be so
