King Charles and Camilla is a true love story?

[sillyonehetpes]

From what I've read Charles was forced to marry Dianna despite wanting to be with Camilla.

After all these years they are together - so they truly loved each other?

I said exactly the same to my colleagues at work!

Yes, I think so. Obviously no one covered themselves in glory in everything that happened before, but yes I do imagine they really do love each other. Why else would they be together? Certainly not for appearances/convenience.

A true love story is what their PR people want you to think. He had another longstanding mistress. She had one of those posh people nicknames. Kanga I believe.

She's dead now. Tragic story.

As for him and Camilla, I think when your happiness comes at a cost to other's happiness then it's a bit tainted.

Yeah probably, not really any of our business tbh, but all the signs point to that being true.

A true love story would have been if he told them to piss off and went with his heart.

What actually happened was/is a car crash (excuse the tasteless pun)

I've heard that Charles and Camilla don't even live together?

A story has been spun.

Camilla preferred APB at the time so married him. No one revoked permission. It was a free choice after Charles went off with the Navy.

Re Diana - aristocratic circles are not like ours. People marry even now to keep the blue blood in the family. Their grandmothers set them up - two women who were fiercely supportive of an old fashioned monarchy. Which was all they knew. And whilst for centuries Royals would marry for convenience and have bits on the side (Victoria and Albert exempt who never had any documented affairs with other people) they probably didn’t realise that concept doesn’t work so well in a modern world of TV cameras, paparazzi and Disney films. The 70’s and 80’s was a turning point for the Royals, people expected something different from what they were used to.

Charles and Diana really were probably the last Royals who had a Marriage of Convenience on both sides. And look how well it turned out. They were a terrible match and their grandmothers couldn’t see it (ironically the Queen mum who was instrumental in their match very much married for love herself). Probably thought it’s something they’d both tolerate with a side piece or two and separate living arrangements while they cut ribbons and upheld the mysteriousness of the monarchy.

I’m pleased William and Harry married for love.

Re Charles and Camilla - yes they are clearly very much in love. You can feel the chemistry. When you look at Diana and Charles old videos together they’re so stiff and awkward. A terrible match all round.

But people will hop on and say they’re miserable, they live apart etc and you will get the Diana sycophants telling you an older woman bullied a child (forgetting Diana herself was shagging all manner of married men).

No he didn’t.

She was an ex but there’s nothing at all to suggest she was a mistress

It's a real but very complicated love story, with a lot of damage done along the way.

Camilla married Andrew PB long before Charles even met Diana.

Yes that was tragic.

I feel like CC felt relaxed and comfortable around each other and could talk. Whether this equates to love depends what you think it is.

i dont think so at all. two selfish priviledged and undeserving people - if their 'love story' were posted in terms of ordinary people on this site theyd be crucified.

They live in separate countries. I’m not sure if that’s true love.

They definitely should have been together from the start. A lot of lives would have been better for it.

I absolutely do think so.

Why not for appearances and convenience?

Tbry live separately.

He pretty much has to have someone by his side. If only for photo opportunities.

Also it’s worth noting that the older you get the less you can be bothered to accommodate new people (especially lovers) into your life. And anyone trying to insert themselves into his life might be regarded suspiciously. On account of his lifestyle. 😉

So, you know, better the devil and all that. If he hadn’t been so miserably indecisive as a young man, and she hadn’t cared about looking “waity” because her younger sister had married before her, then they wouldn’t have created the mess that they have. Including the disturbed son and fractured relationships there in.

if their 'love story' were posted in terms of ordinary people on this site theyd be crucified.

100%

Therein

He never had a longstanding affair with Kanga. She admitted as much

sure sure

It's what you being told now. Camelia married her first husband over Charles.... They hurt alot of other people and had other relationship s which taints their relationship.

I think Kanga might have thought it a good idea to be economical with the truth. Not least because she was married throughout most of their affair and had three children. So it wouldn’t make great reading for her husband (a very good friend of Charles incidentally) or for them.

Anyone who thinks Charles and Kanga weren’t intimate is very naive.

Gossiping about a (non) affair of a dead woman.
classy.

I'm mildly impatient with the 'star-crossed lovers' interpretation of events, and it doesn't appear to have had much basis in fact.

A remarkably privileged and fucked-up UC man, the product of a toxic combination of poor parenting, poor education and indulgence, had an understanding with a woman of his own set who ultimately chose to marry someone else, and then married unwisely a very much younger woman from an equally screwed-up background, but who expressed it very differently. The two former lovers continued to have a sexual relationship despite being married to other people.

His former fancy eventually divorced her spouse, who had been serially unfaithful throughout their marriage; the other divorced and his former spouse later died young, thereby removing most of the obstacles to remarrying his original choice in a civil ceremony.

And here we are. They are king and queen.

@SaladRooney yes! That’s it. A very good synopsis.
