Did you see the story in the news that a man in Australia has said that he is Prince Charles 's and Camilla's lovechild. Apparently security are watching him as he said that he is going to try to go and see them

This is lighthearted, so don't come at me. It's just in the news today, and was wondering what are your thoughts?

Seeing as we are questioning parentage etc, it may also be helpful to discuss extraordinary tales of pregnancies and births.

The more I read this thread and the determination to disparage certain members of the royal family, the more I am inclined to believe there may be some truth to those rumours.

Nothing like a bit of deflection.

And again with the accusations of anger.

Interesting.

My goodness....very well put and yes I entirely understand the reference..it would be something of a shame if we failed to fully explore certain truths about this...

He does look like William when he was young.

Which bits look alike?

@herecomesautumn

The eyelash three in on the left hand side? It is there for all to see on the second picture.

Cunningly disguised as an eyebrow hair but absolutely the same.

That’s if you squint, have a brandy or ten and accept payment for agreeing.

It is uncanny.

I have noticed this nasty rhetoric about Diana being trotted out on RF threads of late and always think to myself how well the Palace PR machine is still working. And how easily members of the public fall for it.

Not one person, not even Diana herself, claims she was saintly. But there has been a lot of misogynistic things written about her and her relationships of late that just wouldn’t be written about a man.

And this nasty rhetoric about her being mad and promiscuous is as old as the hills when it comes to powerful men wanting to control women who won’t go quietly.

It seems to me that certain members of the establishment are still invested in blackening her memory for their own ends. And given who is currently king, it doesn’t surprise me. I hope when William is king, that other messages will replace these current misogynistic ones.

If you don’t want to believe that the palace isn’t still pumping out rhetoric against Diana; check out Gyles Brandreth, a friend and supporter of Camilla, mentioning how “mad” Diana was on ITV This Morning last year. Just casually dropping it in to royal feature which had nothing to do with Diana at all.

And Diana’s late private secretary who worked with her for seven years, and found her to be very down to earth and far from mad, said it was evident that there was a sustained campaign of rhetoric against her.

Similar nasty comments are dropped in to these threads on the RF board in exactly the same way.

And it’s simply because everyone at the palace doesn’t want anyone remembering how Charles and Camilla behaved when Diana was engaged and married to Charles, and during both of her pregnancies, and when she had two young boys.

Any decent woman in that situation would have removed themselves from the scene entirely and gone and lived in another country, especially once the children had arrived.

No one seems to think about what would have happened had Diana not spoken out. In order to remain in the royal fold she had to appear in public and act out the lie that her marriage was happy and her children would have had to live that lie publically too. And yet somehow the RF are never wrong for expecting that of a woman in the first place?

I agree.

Charles had more than one married mistress, Kanga Tryon for instance, Camilla was the last one standing and very underhand with Diana.

People I know who met Diana thought she was lovely.

Well everyone has a bit of both parents.

I don't see any particular resemblance and I think he is clutching at straws...

I also was chatting to one woman who had met Diana at a charity event.

She said she was really nice, sweet and lovely

Think Will Carling’s wife would disagree with you.
Harry looks like Prince Philip imo. William like his mother. This guy looks nothing like Charles pr Camilla but a resemblance as someone else said to Farage.

What rumours? @CatchOnToYersel pm please me if you prefer!

If you're saying that will d
Carlings wife would disagree that Diana is a lovely woman,

Are you also saying that Camilla is not a lovely woman? As Camilla also had a long affair with a married man

OP posts:
CatchOnToYersel · 19/10/2024 23:13

The people I know who have met Camilla say that she’s fabulous too. Princess Anne too. And the late Queen.

Isn’t it lovely that a few of us know people who know members of the RF…

What a jolly coincidence us all being on MN.

WatchOutMissMarpleIsAbout · 19/10/2024 23:14

I’ve no idea. Never met either woman. I’m saying will carlings wife would disagree with Diana being a nice woman. Don’t think Diana liked Camilla much. But she wasn’t the only one Charles had a fling with!

Lol .

Any time anyone says that Diana is lovely, someone ALWAYS comes on and says that Camilla is lovely too.

V predictable.

They did exist separately to each other.

That's true. Charles had many affairs.

Apparently kinga tryon was convinced that she would be queen.

Other than face shape I don't see any resemblance.
And face shape isn't really something to go on, there's a limited amount of variation in face shapes

CatchOnToYersel · 19/10/2024 23:29

lol?

Why the lol? It is true.

I never met Diana and haven’t heard anything about her from friends, so I can’t comment on her personality. I commented on the others because yes, they exist separately and those I know met them and told me what they were like.

You may say it is predictable. Your choice of course.

I also know people who served with the aviation legend.

I cannot be so complimentary there.

lol

OTOH, he couldn’t look less like Tom Parker Bowles!

Applemayjune · 19/10/2024 23:37

Overall I don't think this story is true. It doesn't add up.

Some people just want a claim to fame.

Remember the woman that claimed to Anastasia from the Russian royal family

Anyway. Time for bed because although I would quite like to be paid for chatting away on here, I have to do some actual work tomorrow.

Has anyone seen the moon this week? Magnificent. And beautiful tonight too.

It doesn’t look as low down as it did on Thursday but is still strongly visible higher up.

I love how it moves about, changes appearance and goes through phases. Fat and full and then appears to be a squashed tight little crescent.

Lovely. 🌙

redtrain123 · 19/10/2024 23:54

I don’t think he looks like William in that photo, and yet my son did look like a young William (I’m not a royal).

Why should Camilla give a dna sample when she knows she’s not the mother!

redtrain123 · 19/10/2024 23:54

@CatchOnToYersel yes, the moon looked lovely tonight.
