To think Camilla should not have been crowned Queen

She should have been Princess Consort as we were told she would be. Instead the usual airbrushing of history to try and make her acceptable by clever spinning. And positive press. Bit sickening since Edward VIII had to abdicate over marrying a divorced woman.

she is queen. Who cares?

Stickmansmum · 06/05/2023 16:40

So you think what they did to Edward VIII was right? Because that’s what you’re saying…..

MrsFinkelstein · 06/05/2023 16:40

Build a bridge and get over it ffs.

They've been married for 18 years.

And? Do you not think customs should change as society moves on?

This.

Stickmansmum · 06/05/2023 16:40

Actually your post is very offensive. You suggest she should be treated as less because she is a divorcee. That’s disgusting.

MintJulia · 06/05/2023 16:41

Thankfully we aren't living in the 1930s any more. Most people's values are a little kinder.

dudsville · 06/05/2023 16:41

No one should be crowned, the whole thing's a celebration of privilege.

BreviloquentBastard · 06/05/2023 16:41

"Bit sickening since Edward VIII had to abdicate over marrying a divorced woman."

And Henry VIII executed two of his wives. Times change, rules change, views change.

Get over it.

Thesearmsofmine · 06/05/2023 16:42

You want things to stay the same as they were 90 years ago?

FeltCarrot · 06/05/2023 16:42

Good job Edward abdicated as he was great buddies with Hitler.

thecatsthecats · 06/05/2023 16:42

Either you accept the idea that someone can be the queen, and accept that you don't get to decide who that person is - or accept the idea that you aren't a monarchist.

You don't get to choose. And you're not the first, second, third or millionth to object to a royal bride.

so they’ve done the exact opposite, let him marry the divorcee - and you still don’t think it’s right?

GreenWheat · 06/05/2023 16:42

Oh do be quiet. Society changes and moves on.

Bovrilla · 06/05/2023 16:43

Previous Queen said it should happen. And it has. She was, and is, the Queen Consort.

They've been married longer than Charles and Diana were. Move on.

MidgeHardcastle · 06/05/2023 16:43

So in 87 years you expect the world to move on except where your hatred of the Queen is concerned?

MakesMeFeelSad · 06/05/2023 16:43

Well he's divorced as well so I don't see the difference

Things change, divorce is much better than having your head lopped off obviously

And it doesn’t compute with the OP that Charles himself is a divorce. Double standards.

Effieswig · 06/05/2023 16:43

Edward abdicated in the 30s. Attitudes to divorce, surprisingly, have changed since then.

CwmYoy · 06/05/2023 16:45

Diana groupies are crawling out of the woodwork today, for sure.

Such a pathetic post.

LlynTegid · 06/05/2023 16:45

Edward VIII was forced to abdicate in my opinion because he was a Nazi sympathiser. Had he not been, then his marriage would have been accepted.

As others have said, times have moved on.

TrueScrumptious · 06/05/2023 16:45

Of course she was going to be Queen. The King himself is divorced. Should he not be King?

Viviennemary · 06/05/2023 16:45

Its not only the fact she is divorced. She was Charles's mistress for many years. Never gave his marriage a chance. Lets whotewash all that.

I sense they are all weeping at their household shrines.
