The royal wedding.

Well it is now the turn of Princess Eugenie to get married. I wonder if the Duchess of York will be spoken to by the D of Edinburgh at the Reception. I am sure the Queen will be perfectly fine.

has he gone yet?

He could be Henery XIII Leader of UKIP
- or even Henery XV!

The future King ( a long way in the future)

Henry X111?

Who was that man ?

am a furiner and type fast- can never get used to this site not having an 'edit/correct' function ;)

I would never dream of correcting you

I have been suffering from fat fingers lately.

Oh my, for an edit button - I mean heel of course

Are morals out of fashion these days?

jura2, couldn't agree more, the man is a real heal isn't he.

What sort of man, already divorced with 1 child (first wife was Danish!) - has 2 children with a woman (this time a Russian!) first child when she is 38 and second one at 41- born on a train at St Pancras station- so likely to have been traumatic - embarks on an affair almost immediately with a woman half his age. ??? Really bad says a lot about him

Just as long as Brexiteers don't have anything to thank Henry V111 for.

Or teenage wives

Or torture their courtiers to admit to adultery with the queen.

Or adulterous wives

Have to thank Henry V111 for that. At least they no longer behead unwanted wives.

Well a divorce rate of 75% in one nuclear family does make you wonder about all sorts of things doesn’t it? But having said that, I’m glad that they were able to divorce because in the past how many thoroughly awful royal marriages were there - Princes of Wales don’t have a good track record.

Jalima, the RF divorce rate rose with queenies children , for such a large family I think four divorces are not high, but I am including all the windsors , oh and a seperation but no divorce . Suppose early days for the younger branch

divorce rate is over 40%
And in some families much higher eg the Royal Family.
I do hope that this one is a keeper.

I don’t think anyone is suggesting a link between political party and marital breakdown. Obviously there is the particular context of Westminster which may make affairs more likely - who knows though? Also some marriages breakdown in situations that seem more reprehensible than others - such as walking out days before Christmas when you have a 1 and 4 year old. I also thought Robin Cooks dumping of his wife by phone (was it?) from an airport pretty awful too. But we never know the full story do we? Don’t half of all marriages end in divorce these days - and before divorce reform there were very very many unhappy marriages where, in particular women were trapped.

I don't think it is more prevalent in politics than RL, divorce rate is over 40% . A politician having an affair will make the news, not the milkman or postman

I'm agree Dandylion , well said .

Why does the Country still have to have UKIP? The procession of sleaze-ball Chairmen is depressing to endure and their purpose has evaporated post-Referendum. Get off the scene and give us all back our dignity.

I think it happens across the political spectrum ie husbands dumping wives, vice vera, affairs etc.
Is it more prevalent than in RL?
