Did anyone else watch the program about our future King the other night. I found it very entertaining and loved his story about the butcher and the black pudding. I felt he came across as a very nice person who is kind and thoughtful and his wife and sons, clearly love him very much.

When I said me too I meant I think HM has more stamina than me!
^I think the Queen must have more stamina than I have.
She was out last night and then again this morning before going out again this evening^
Me too !
Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone.
Yes, absolutely.
Would anyone else like their private conversations published in the msm? Honestly?
Gabriella, why that post on poverty ? Nasty, nasty,nasty, and cruel.
I live in a one bedroomed council bungalow, I bought my scooter out of my funeral fund so will not have a funeral , my younger daughter bought me my iPad, what did you get out of your post. I feel sorry for you, to have the need to post such nastiness must be so sad
I think he is lovely.
... watching the rememberence 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!'
I think maybe Lord Mountbatten was involved as well so I read once and yes I heard that the two grandmothers had a hand in Diana and Charles getting together.
However it is all water under the bridge now.
Good luck to them all.
As somebody said earlier I would hate it if we had no Royal family.
I think the Queen must have more stamina than I have.
She was out last night and then again this morning before going out again this evening
Well done her.
Poverty Anniebach?
I doubt it.
People who live in poverty don't have the internet, ipads, live in bungalows or afford mobility scooters.
What a pother...
We,all have our own slant on C&C but what we think makes not one whit of difference to the outcome.

What we read in the papers ostensibly passed on through 'reliable sources', is not always the truth, the whole truth or anywhere near the truth. It's edited to guarantee or influence certain responses from the general public.
Would you or I mind about the general public seeing or knowing about the less acceptable parts of our lives, sitting in judgement after hearing or reading only part of our story? I very much doubt it.
Charles can hardly put the record straight.
Why not castigate some of our population whose wealth far exceeds that of the monarchy, who make no effort to curb their lifestyles, their morals or their mores?
IMO, HM, Princes Charles and William, the Duchess of Cambridge, Princess Anne and Sophie Wessex, all do a good job as part of our monarchy.
If anyone can come up with a better idea, a replacement for the monarchy, then come forth or hold your peace.
As for the Charles/Diana/Camilla mènage á trois (of sorts) and his future as defender of the faith, I doubt he has absolute confidence that there is only one faith, that being the Church of England Protestant faith.
He has dabbled and had/has interest in other faiths, to what degree is a moot point.
How many of you go on cruises, fly for pleasure multiple times yearly, use petrol instead of sustainable alternatives, grow your own food?
Gosh, strange times.
I have no wish to be accused of having superior knowledge again ?
Francis Shand Kid left her husband, she applied to the courts for custody of her children. Her own mother supported Johnnie Spencer against Francis and Johnnie Spencer was awarded custody. The grandmother was Lady Fermoy, close friend and lady in waiting to the queen mother .
Could be these two and Johnnie Spencer had a little plot,
Charles was devoted to the QM, Diana so possessive of her father even made the nannies lives hell, she said herself she slapped her father when he decided to marry Raine.
Didn't a couple of meddling grannies suggest they get together?
Diana said the cuff links had their initials entwined she also said she and Charles were very happy together in 1984. Later she said the greatest love of her life was Barry Manakee, 1984. Poor woman.
For me the villain in these whole tragic time was .johnnie Spencer .
I have always admired Prince Charles he always does his best sometimes he gets it a bit wrong ....he is human after all ....but he does do his best
Whatever did or didn't happen with cufflinks, conversations, etc, the fact is that Charles and Diana did not act as if they believed in the sanctity or marriage, broke their vows, and embarrassed their children. Even if you don't take their ages into account, the monarch is the head of the Church of England and surely you would expect the person who undertakes that role to take the vows they made before God in church, seriously?
I think Charles does a good job, as do the Royals in general. Personally I cant think of anything worse than being born into that kind of position, all those tedious long ceremonies, giving speeches at banquets, endless travelling, being obliged to hold long polite conversations with dignitaries from all over the globe, constantly having to dress up and look flawless. Not to mention having to work until you drop. I have only seen the Queen and D of E once when they visited my workplace and it was one of five visits they were doing that day, it was throwing it down with rain and they spoke to endless people in the crowd outside - all this when they were both in their mid to late 80s.
I just hope I live long enough to see William crowned.
I have no time at all for Charles. Selfish pompous man.
Another myth story doing the rounds was that Princess Diana happened upon a bracelet Charles had bought for Camilla engraved with G & F - Gladys and Fred, their pet names for eachother.
Nothing to do with cufflinks.
How strange, it looks like the letter C
As usual, Annie, you have to have the last word, and now you are insinuating that the cufflinks didn't exist. You haven't checked your facts. There are many photos of the cufflinks online and articles about them.

Prince Charles' cuff links from Camilla before his marriage to Diana. He constantly wore these cuff links right from the honeymoon and thru the years of their marriage.
As you will no doubt want to have the last word yet again, Annie, I am signing off now.
I'm not a royalist but we all say things privately that we wouldn't want repeated.
Most strange the press have never taken a photograph of him wearing those cuff links , but the only person who saw them was his wife , mmmmm
The marriage of Charles and Diana was never going to be a success. What kind of man accepts a present of cuff-links engraved with his and his ex's intertwined initials on the eve of his marriage to another woman and what kind of woman gives such a gift on such an occasion??
He was grown up, practically middle aged, as was horse face. Diana was 19. That's little more than a schoolgirl. Sure she had problems and demons and living with her must have been a drag but Charles went into it with the knowledge that he was in love with another woman and Diana was duped.
No time for the man and will never call him, "Prince" or, "King" no matter how much they tart him up and parade him on T.V.
How some enjoy the public humiliation of another human being.
I so agree missdeke
missdeke well said.
