King Charles

Camilla married twice for love , I am glad the second marriage is so happy

Andrew Mortons book said she got fed up with waiting around for Charles and married the other man because of that.
Either way, I'm glad if anyone is happily married, and they certainly look to be.

I've quite warmed to Charles these days.

I believe the family member who showed me photographs of the wedding

Oh, so only parts of the book then?

Sorry Annie, I seem to be disagreeing with you all the time now I'm back.

It's not intentional or just for the sake of it.

Ok Miss Adventure Andrew Morton wrote what Diana told him on tapes ,I was told in 1973 by someone at the wedding, then there was no talk of Charles and Camilla then

Well, then the book is probably best not used as any proof of anything.
Either way, Diana is long gone, and Gladys and Chuck (?) are happily married.

I imagine Charles would want nobody else other than Camilla at this time, because they seem to be an excellent fit for each other.

Agree , but it’s so wrong that the press has built on the pining love story

Yes Misinterpreted a bride , mid 30’s, divorced wearing virginal white whilst walking down the aisle doesn’t fit the mould,

Maybe because we are now in the 21st century?

Can’t agree

Why? Shouldn't a woman marry wearing whatever she wants? Your comment comes across that it's somehow shameful for shock horror a divorcee in her 30s to wear white? I really thought we'd moved on from that kind of attitude these days.

Several couples in our adult children’s friendship group have married in recent years. Big celebrations, bride in beautiful ivory or white gowns and ver often the couples children as bridesmaids or pages.
Thank goodness it isn’t 1953 - I liked Meghans dress and honestly, what reason could there be to criticise her for wearing white. Divorcee - who cares

I am giving my opinion as someone who was flower arranger
and welcomer in an Anglican Cathedral for over 50 years , you have your opinion I have mine

I must be very old fashioned, thinking it inappropriate for a divorcee to wear white - and a veil, which is a symbol of virginity.

Seems GSM we belong in 1953 , virginal white plus veil !

Exactly. It's their wedding, they should wear whatever they want. Thankfully most of us have moved on from the view that a woman should be a virgin and wear white on her wedding day.

I think so, Annie. When I remarried, a divorcee after a very long and very unhappy marriage, I wore a cream suit and cream flowered headpiece. I wouldn’t have dreamed of wearing a white dress and certainly not a veil. White is, in my view, a symbol of virginity. I was entitled to wear a white wedding dress and veil at my first wedding, but not my second.

I was a very young bride and wore ivory. I told my whole family I wasn;t a virgin

Women do wear what they want, I have never met a divorcee who chose a white gown with veil , seen cream dresses and suits, flowers in hair, no bridal veil , Iam* has seen several who did

People are entitled to have their own opinions on things without getting personal.
I think H and M have behaved shamelessly in most things, no doubt both grandfathers will never see their gc.

Yes, the white dress and veil were symbols of virginity. In some cultures, it was tradition to show bloodstained sheets as proof of the bride’s virginity.

It’s so common now for the house deposit to be the key thing to be saved for, bank of mum and dad helping with that, rather than cash towards the cost of the wedding. Then children, then the wedding. May seem all upside down to the more traditional but there it is,

I doubt anyone assumed a white gown and veil meant the bride was a virgin, women themselves chose not to wear white with veil when aged 36/37

I certainly have.

Thought you had

I give up (again) Glorianny, you are now tacitly admitting that Charles did marry Camilla for love.

One marriage to fit the mould -supporting Harry's theory. Then the second for love
