Prince Charles

At the time Diana was in Paris with her latest man she was not speaking to her Mother, Brother, Sisters, her staff had resigned , with exception of Burrell, poor abandoned little girl within ?

Her in laws protected her from a prosecution for slander. From pestering phone calls. From being named in a divorce case.

no human being could have given Diana what she wanted

To be loved by her husband you mean Annie ?

I see no resemblance between Camilla and Mabel Anderson

As to pandering to whims, no human being could have given Diana what she wanted , 24 hour attention, oh with the exception of Burrell

Charles' so-called "public humiliation" - I think he brought that on himself.

Whatever anyone may say about Diana and her affairs later on, she was a young naive girl aged only 19 who married a much older man of the world who was in love with Camilla. Charles admits himself that he had doubts before the wedding and that he cried the night before.
As the older and more mature of the two of them, he should never have allowed Philip to push him into the marriage, but he needed "a virgin bride" and he had run through most of the selection available.

Camilla had done the dirty on him by marrying Parker Bowles while Charles was away, and also Camilla was back then a Catholic, I believe, and so it was frowned on that Charles should marry her. She was also a woman "with a past" and her history was considered too racy with previous sexual relationships for her to marry the Prince of Wales.

Diana didn't go into the marriage planning to have affairs, and her mental health was affected by a desperately unhappy marriage. Those of us who have been there can understand, I think.

Both of them came from dysfunctional childhoods. Diana never recovered from the abandonment by her mother, even though that was not her mother's choice and was fought through the courts, and I think it is perfectly understandable that she clung to her remaining parent and was jealous as she grew up. There was still that abandoned little girl inside her.

Charles meanwhile had a different but nevertheless dysfunctional childhood, and both of them wanted "Mummy" in a partner. Charles was too selfish and self-absorbed to be understanding and a support to Diana, and has found "Mummy" with Camilla, who looks remarkably like the nanny he had whilst growing up, and panders to his whims. Diana never found that.

No doubt Annie will come back quick as a flash and tell me I am totally wrong about all this !!

Money does not cushion emotional hurts

Of course it doesn't Annie but money can go a very long way in getting specialist help for mental health and acute anxiety issues.

Also whoever penned the phrase "money can't buy happiness" has clearly never known what it is like to be cold, hungry and unable to pay the bills.

It upsets me very much too EllanVannin . Little children wearing the most inappropriate clothes in the coldest weather. In particular a little girl in my DGS's class who wears a thin summer dress all year around. Short socks and plimsolls. Bless her heart she is like a little stray.

gillybob to see poverty in the schoolyard is heartbreaking. I've seen it myself and could cry-----in fact I do. I can't stand to see poor little kiddies looking down at heel it's so upsetting.

How does it help EllanVannin ?

It helps though Anniebach.

Exactly Annibach.

Money does not cushion emotional hurts , money didn’t cushion Charles from public humiliation and it certaintly didn’t bring his first wife happiness

His family obviously love him, as they did their mother.
Not much different than the rest of us really , just a family getting through trials & tribulations warts and all the best way they can ( & before anyone says , yes money can cushion the hardships in life, but that applies to all of us.
I am writing this on a computer, whilst someone, somewhere in the world doesn’t have adequate food or shelter. It is not right , I & many others make donations to various charities but it never seems to alter a thing from one generation to another. What are the answers? Communism etc. No sadly it is survival of the fittest etc, just like in nature, a cruel world ,but with lots of good people trying to do some good, no need for continual judgement on someone else’s poor judgement.

Rather obvious you haven’t read the thread Esspee

Sorry, haven't read the full thread. Just reached the comment by Anniebach where she says she respects Charles for his dignity. Is this the same Charles who wanted to be his tart's tampon so that he could be inside her all the time?
I have never had any respect for married men who stray whilst still married. This is the man who will be head of the Church of England! This is the man who wants his ex tart/now wife to become Queen!
Dignity?
He doesn't have an ounce of dignity.

I think it is enough Margaret

I see (relative) poverty every day in the school yard of my DGC's primary school. You really don't have to look far.

watching the remembrance service today...a thought that went through our heads was..which fancy dress shop does Prince Charles use for his uniforms... because he damn well has done nothing to deserve them....I have nothing for or against the monarchy...but their lives aren't 'real lives' and they have no understanding of thus

Maybe the same one as Mr Benn Farview . He tries on a fancy dress outfit and like magic he becomes "that person".

Apparently she told Charles she would like to be his mistress like her great aunt was the mistress of Edward VII(?)

As she becomes older she is losing confidence probably because of pain and painkillers as she makes no secret that she suffers from osteoperosis. She is a decent person and he loves her. That has to be enough.

Unlike the rest of the family she came into public life when she was 57, she is very relaxed when doing her charity work, she should have been given her correct title too.

I would think the hatred she endured for years must have scarred her.

Also GG there is a thing called Relative Poverty which is very important especially with children.

I haven't noticed EllenV. She always seems very confident/relaxed to me. I must look......

I can't help feeling/thinking that Camilla feels awkward amongst the family. She appeared positively nervous at the Abbey last night. However she's obviously more relaxed when just with her husband.
She just seems to be on pins when there's any kind of a ceremony and tends to " hover " a bit not certain if she's doing things right or not.

There is no poverty in the UK......an astonishing comment.

Anniebach regarding properties owned by Charles which he bought perhaps you could research how monarchs acquired their wealth.
GabriellaG I have always said we are all entitled to our opinions and shouldn't be rude but its difficult on reading your last paragraph. Poverty is very much alive and kicking in 2018! Plenty of info available. Perhaps you could read some statements by those who use foodbanks and think, would anyone choose to do this? And then maybe possibly donate something nice to your local foodbank- something that will be a treat for these undeserving people who can only ever afford the cheapest food. I include my single parent daughter here who struggles to work and raise two children, hampered at every turn by the government, adding stress to her struggle. Luckily she has me - and my savings. (Not nice either to have to accept help). But not everyone has someone to help out. Perhaps you could also read about poverty related suicides. Silly people, all they needed was to manage their income better. Should have eaten cake.

Regardless of the financial source of your assets, you cannot in truth, say that you live in poverty.
Poorer than some, yes but compared to whom or what sector of society?
Certainly not impoverished. Living in council accomodation and having been gifted an ipad does not mean that a person lives in poverty.
There is no poverty in the UK, only people who mis-manage their income and I am certainly not suggesting that you fall into that category.
