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?

Funny how it’s Camilla’s affair with Charles that ruffles feathers yet Diana’s criminal behaviour as a malicious stalker is glossed over, it must have been very distressing for Oliver Hoare and his family, imagine having a deranged woman sat at the end of your drive making malicious calls in the middle of the night and when she wasn’t outside his house she got her staff to make calls to his house and hang up when he answered, no wonder the police had to intervene.

You know Patrick Jephson’s said there were some very odd circumstances relating to that story about the nuisance calls, described here in an article from news.com.au:

“Still, there are some strange, unanswered questions about the whole imbroglio.
Patrick Jephson was Diana’s trusted private secretary at the time. He says that when the story broke, “I asked a contact in the Royalty and Diplomatic Protection Group if there had been such an investigation and if there was a printout of the calls made.
“The answer was ‘yes’ to both questions.” However, within 24 hours the printout was missing.”

Daniela Esler, the author of the article explains about the publication of the damaging story:

“Public perception was key to both Diana and Charles as they battled it out for the hearts and minds of the British people. Suddenly, Charles started looking like a more sympathetic creature, having to put up with this woman who was being portrayed as mad and just a bit bad.”

Hmm I wonder why 🤔

Was there any proof even that Diana bombarded him with calls. Or was it just in the tabloids.

Yes doing their job of upholding the law, you know that thing they are supposed to do, and what decent people abide by.

The Met? Yep no skeletons in that closet.

Did you see all the texts about raping women, that some met officers were sending around

😂I think we may have derailed your thread. I can't see the resemblance to Cami or Charlie in Australia boy btw,.
I can't quite picture what their spawn would look like though, it could be fun to use one of those merging software things.

likeitallagain · 20/10/2024 00:42

@Applemayjune I think the overall look is more Charles but the way he looks with his eyes and the mannerisms for the photos remind me of Camilla

Heresoneimadearlier · 20/10/2024 00:46

No it wasn’t made up by the tabloids it’s all there if you want to look into it yourselves, she was a malicious stalker who caused huge distress to Oliver Hoare and his family, I will leave you guys to it, this thread was a laugh earlier on but now you are excusing criminal behaviour that if it was done by a certain other woman you would have happily have her burned at the stake, so you can carry on with you hard done by St Diana schtick to your hearts content to soothe yourselves that she really was an angel sent to earth, and you can pretend that it was all made up by the nasty press, and if it wasn’t made up by the nasty press it was Prince Charles who drove her to it, all can then be right in your world of St Diana the wronged, enjoy!

Sounds as though you are equally determined to promote the opposite view in support of the establishment rhetoric.

Even now it is very much in KC’s and Camilla’s interests if Diana’s name is blackened as much as possible.

What is your opinion about Patrick Jephson’s disquiet over the missing print out?

Needanewname42 · 20/10/2024 05:48

Bottom line Diana and Charles was an arranged marriage. They were very badly matched BOTH families let them down.

Zero point in going over the rights and wrongs of what happened within the marriage. Ones dead 27 years and the other has been happily married for 20.

Applemayjune · 19/10/2024 16:18

But look at the full story.

Martin Bashir faked documents to show that tiggy legge bourke had an abortion, and gave them to Diana

Edited

Her bullying ways predate Bashir.

She pushed her own stepmother down the stairs at 16 - so before she met Charles.

SpudleyLass · 20/10/2024 08:33

But I digress.

It's painfully obvious that this man is unwell and no child of Charles.

It's absurd to continue to allow this story to run.

As absurd as still giving Camilla grief over the affair when it has been literally decades and as absurd as still deifying Diana even though she was known to be quite manipulative and a bully.

Well whatever happened between them, Diana and her step-mother seem to have forgiven and forgotten as they became friends later on and had lunch together in London regularly, so it can't have been that bad!

BunnyLake · 20/10/2024 08:49

So who would have originally named this man Trevor, I really can’t see Camilla doing that.

I mean, Diana and Charles were getting on well again just before she died, so does that same logic apply?

It’s been well documented. Perhaps it’s just your circle who were unaware.

Even the news about the politicians in Australia who have boycotted meeting the King made the news across continents.

Yes it does apply! And logically that means all the people repeating the nasty rhetoric about her being promiscuous and mad should keep quiet.

But for very obvious reasons they don’t …

Yes, me too. What a shame. I hope that he manages to trace his birth parents, or at least come to terms with his situation. Unfortunately, certain people will exploit this for their own gains.

He already has. Both his birth mother and adoptive mother are estranged from him now. He made contact with birth family 20 years ago. The story is on Reddit.

I mean, people won't shut up about Charles and Camilla.

Given all that Diana did with several married men, it does cancel her out as being any kind of victim to me. Hard to justify thinking her pain should be acknowledged when she did the same thing to others.

I disagree. If she hadn’t been betrayed and let down in her marriage in such a spectacularly dishonest and public fashion, I doubt she would have gone looking for love and validation in all sorts of unsuitable places.
