To think Camilla should not have been crowned Queen

[Viviennemary]

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.

Here we go again....... Yawn, yawn, yawn.

Brilliant! Please do 🙏

It's a whitewash for the new king, nothing else. I guess as 'subjects' of said king, you choose what you want, what you believe. Honestly, you are all ignoring the way you and they treated Princess Diana but, you do you. It's a joke of a coronation tbh.

@Callixte no.

All stuff written about them says camilla found Charles hard work and she was absolutely smitten with apb but he was the ultimate cad.

You are quite something, you know that?

It's got nothing to do with that. They were free to marry, they married each other, he's now King and therefore she's Queen. Are you going to forbid all marriages that started from affairs from ever benefiting either person?

Marriage and the laws around it aren't based around punishing people for misdemeanours under any circumstances.

I don't think Camila should be queen, no op, I don't think Charles should be king either tbh, but not much can be done about either.

What ever??

The Queen did not even attend the marriage of Charles and Camilla as it was against her faith.

Perhaps Charles assumed that an eventual open relationship was a normal expectation for a royal but this messed with her head as her fairytale marriage could not accommodate such a thing.

But she cheated several times and first. So how did he mess with her head? You can't condemn his cheating whilst condoning hers.

So that means she can be the OW in the marriages of other women without criticism? Fucking LOL. Wasn’t Andrew Parker Bowles repeatedly cheating on Camilla throughout their marriage? Because by your own logic she was just cheating to get back at him, so it’s all good.

personally I can’t imagine why the (very selective) emotional investment in the marriages of strangers. As far as hobbies go, anyway.

What a silly thing to say. It was Camilla he should have married in the first place, the fact they have been married for 18 years proves that.

For info George iv contracted an illegal marriage to Maria Fitzherbert. He would not have been permitted to marry her as she was Roman catholic. He then married, officially, Caroline of Brunswick. He apparently always love Mrs Fitzherherbert. As I have said, they all had somewhat colourful lives.

Yet she attended Meghan and Harry's and Meghan was divorced. Times change.

some people think that Diana was the first to cheat. Barry Mannakee, the bodyguard is the usual suspect, but this article suggests others as well.

Very convenient explanation. So why did she choose married men to cheat with? Did she want other women to feel the pain?

Love it @Roussette

Aww thx, I feel like an old dinosaur on here with a dress like that! But it was of its time!

Pure 80s charm, Roussette! 😀

Sudeko - what about Diana’s stalking and harassment of Oliver Hoare? Was that because of something Charles did to her too, or was that just her own bad behaviour?

Oh my goodness, @Roussette . So pretty 😍 how lovely.

Thx Serenster and Maireas.

Seems like a bloody lifetime ago!

Oh do bore off.

Even me... the sort of Republican, would say that's a bit mean.

Being an old bint myself.

You need to check your facts. There was no promise that she would be princess consort; there was simply an expression of intention. How many times have you changed your intentions over the last 18 years?

The queen didn't "apparently" say she should be known as queen consort, she issued an official expression of her wishes to that effect. There is no "mission creep" in Camilla being crowned queen, the queen consort is the queen, and Camilla has been queen since her husband acceded.

You may choose to try to maintain a belief in Diana's sanctitude by proclaiming that any negative information is "propaganda", but unfortunately for you there is far too much indisputable evidence that she was no saint.
