Prince Charles's alleged lovechild

[Applemayjune]

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?

@HollyKnight Yes, that does ring a bell. I think people were speculating that she was going to get engaged to Dodi, or take a step out of the limelight?

Yes! Ok so one person remembers. I'm not crazy then. There was also talk that she was going to convert to Islam. She was also getting criticism for being away from her boys so much. The tone was not good towards her towards the end. Then she died.

Yes she said something along the lines of "Watch and see what I do next".

Which is ironic and up there as famous last words with Oscar Wilde's "Either that wallpaper goes or I do"

And now we'll never know. 😩

There was a huge media blitz on Diana that summer and I remember wondering how it was all going to end. Everyday was an escalation of the articles and photos.

Her friends say that Dodi was the rebound as she was trying to make the surgeon jealous. She was phoning the photographers and letting them know where she was aka the shot of her in a swimsuit on the end of the yacht.

The coverage was not favourable.

Did Al Fayed make that pass at her as per Burrell’s recent claims? I doubt it. I think she enjoyed the attention and would then have left the country for the US. I know someone who was the PA to a minor Royal (further up the LOS in those days but very irrelevant today). She was based in London and was given a tour of Diana’s KP apartment afterwards when it had been emptied. She said it was minuscule. I think once Harry had left prep school and was settled as an older teenager she probably would have moved on.

Allegedly there's a good reason for that..............!

Oh dear … 🙄! I should have known that would have yet another rumour behind it.

They both look like other family members though. Resemblance can be quite “mind over matter.” What about that ginger headed fellow who was supposed to be Harry’s dad? Yes, he did look like Harry when you were fed the rumours; yet Harry is also so like the late Duke of Edinburgh so not sure how all that would work.

Well she admitted to cheating first, that's how I know.

Time to let sleeping dogs lie. Diana was not the naive ingenue - she grew up on the Sandringham estate.

Camilla may not be "innocent" but the continued abuse of her is grossly misogynist.

Diana inflicted the same pain on other married women that she proclaimed for herself. She was a hypocrite who got into a car being driven by a drunk and by the side of a man who had a habit of demanding his chauffeurs drive faster.

The only sensible person in that car was the one who survived because he wore a bleeding seat belt.

....well there is the story about Cami & Charlie on the royal train on the eve of the wedding, not technically adultery for him, I suppose, but there are plenty of claims that it didn't stop after that.

He was reportedly seeing Kanga Tryon and Cami at the same time before he married, while they were both married. Not particularly admirable, or indicative of a great and loyal love.

There’s that weight bearing ‘reportedly’ again….

try not to worry for it, It's sharing it's burden over many sources....

Innit tho…

They're both spoiled people used to getting their own way with a formidable pr machine justifying why they should.
They're too old and creaky to be as promiscuous as they once were.
They are flawed people no better than most, and in many ways a lot worse.

They did a number on a naive 19 year old which some people are defending them for. The power imbalance in the relationship would be considered abusive in any other circumstance but a narrative has been created to justify it.

I'd be surprised if matey boy was their lust child, he should be relieved not to be.

This wasn't some older guy rubbing his hands with glee at the thought of marrying a young girl he could manipulate though. He didn't actually want to marry her. Times were different back then... never more so within the royal family. The media also would have played a part in pushing the marriage.

Who would dare to get old and bastard creaky eh?

#ageistasfuckbutcrackon

Perhaps they can lend their ‘formidable PR’ machine to his child and his wife because their PR sure as shit is not working.

And if you want spoiled? You don’t have to look further than the jam-mongers.

I think the child might be making use of the PR machine in the last month or so. Something seems to have changed there.

The wife - maybe not!

It was an arranged marriage doomed from the start. He didn't particularly want it. She had doubts but too late.

32 years Vs 19 years.

'Whatever love means'..........

Lots of people without their privileges don't get the chance. Are you denying the reality of aging? It's used in their defence often enough.

I have a lot of time for Diana and don't think she was treated well. Charles should have been stronger and held out, but real as I think their connection now is, I think Camilla wanted Andrew P-B. Don't know, perhaps if had Charles flicked 2 fingers at the RF and asked her to marry him back then she would have done. No way of knowing as he didn't. Charles and Diana were ill matched, he at least was not in love and it wasn't OK.

However...it is a very long time ago. I like to think that Diana would have gone on to do more good things and find happiness (it wouldn't have been with Dodi Fayed, pretty certain of that) and ultimately, Charles and Camilla were not responsible for her sad death. Diana is seen as a tragic figure now because it was a tragic death, but I believe she had more about her than to want to be perpetually miserable and slighted for the rest of her life.

One article says his gran told him that story many many times.
There must be adoption records. If I'd been told such a crazy story the first thing I'd do would be track down my official records, do some research and find living relatives of my biological mother and ask them to do dna tests. If it showed a match then that's the end of it. If the records stated my mother but tests showed that wasn't the case then I'd be looking further. But I'd rule that out first.

And yes, he does look quite like Charles. And a bit like camilla.
But the human race is ridiculously inbred. We're all descended from the same man (y-chromosomal adam) and we're all descended from the same woman (mitochondrial eve). And no they weren't a couple :D they weren't even alive at the same time. But even though there are 8 billion of us, we're all quite closely related and look pretty similar.

My sister looks like dawn French. My great uncle looked the spit of Prince Phillip. My dad looked just like that guy who played the dad on the royal family.

There's only do many combinations of facial features and over 8 billion people on the planet who all share ancestors.

All of us likely have hundreds probably thousands of people in the world who look just like us.

His gran was, imo, very very cruel to tell an adopted boy such a fairy tale.

I think Diana would have gone on to do more good things and I'm sure she would have found happiness with someone. Probably not Dodi I agree that wasn't going to be a long term thing, unless she'd fallen pregnant - which I doubt

It's hard to think she became global knowledge at 19, died at just 36, she fitted so so much into those 17 years.

I think Harry especially would have been different and made different choices if Diana was still around.

Don’t bother @ing if you choose to not understand my point.

I find ageism offensive.

And if you are going to make up things you’ve decided I’ve meant, such as denying the reality of getting old then I’m even less interested in what you have to say.

I’ve just been at work for 15 hours and come home to go and see to my man who has dementia and my dad who is no longer able to move.

I know all about getting old thank you and the joys it brings. And they are managing to get old and be happy with their lot despite a distinct lack of privilege.

As I have began to slide towards 60, I have learned the futility of arguing with fools and oft choose to no longer engage.

You may take my future silence regarding any comeback you may have as you wish.

Given that MNHQ have decreed I can no longer respond as I would wish to.
