PRINCE CHARLES TO MARRY CAMILLA

[RTKangaMummy]

NOW ON GMTV

also - just to add a RC edge to it....if she married him, unless her previous marriahe had been annulled, she'd be effectively ex-communicating herself anyway

I think that Prince Charles does do alot for charity.

I thought about the furore about him spending tax payers money on her and thought why don't they just get married...
I think it's really good news and I am not even a monarchist but I dig Prince Charles!

Agree with marthamoo re nail in coffin! I really would liek to see t he back of them now, they do nothing for the country anymore, have a terrible image and cost a fortune to retain.

Well I'm really pleased. It's about time he had some happiness after his first marriage to that dodgy character.

I'm not sure I agree with the comment that he is selfish - for one thing we don't know whether it is intended that she would be queen or not, and it would be perfectly possible for them to be married and her not be a queen. If I'm right its been done before in this country, but not for a couple of hundred years, so it's not even breaking new ground.

Admittedly he bogged up his marriage big time and has no reason to be proud of his past behaviour, but his sons don't seem to have a problem with this. Yes there's the argument that while as a member of the royal family he should set an example, but there are a gazzilion threads here on Mumsnet showing far worse behaviour.

I sound like a right pro-Charles monarchist, but I'm not really. I just don't buy the "Diana was a saint" story. Yes she had very many good qualities, but the fact is that being human she also had a stack of bad ones too - the same applies to Charles.

Good. I'm glad and I wish them every happiness.

Re whether he should abdicate - agree with marthamoo, they're all a bit irrelevant these days TBH.

Oh I don't buy the Diana was a saint story for a minute, but the Royal family have an obligation to serve, in return for all the privileges of their birth. marrying a woman who he knows much of his country intensely dislikes, and with whom he had affairs with etc. is wrong. It is all very wells ayign they are only human, but they are supposed to set an example, they get enough in return for it!!

Good for him, hope he finds happiness.

Lets face it, Camilla is the one he has loved for years - Diana was just a brood mare who fitted the required image of a future queen and provided 'the heir and a spare'.

I think he was unfair on Diana before and during the wedding and so I think he was in the wrong then

I know that Diana had affairs as well but Charles did too.

Also as he is "living in sin" with Camilla anyway

THe RC church apparently has annolled the wedding

I mean charles had affairs first

I believe that Diana was used for producing heir and spare.

I think he should be KING though

Otherwise WILLIAM will have to be KING and I think he should be allowed some freedom before having to have all the responsibility.

FGS, not that old chestnut about tax payers' money! The Duchy of Cornwall is a contributor to the national purse. Get your facts right.

Yes that's fair enough - he does pay tax voluntarily. But how much of this country's moeny is tied up in the Royal family? Surely we could think of better ways to invest it.

katzguk - where do you get the idea that Camilla's catholic? She's not.

Church wedding does not need change of law

Cival wedding will need law change

i just feel v sad that he didn't do this in the first place and then a number of people's lives would have been happier.

hello bundle

wedding may be at St. Georges Chapel, Windsor

camilla's inherited role as royal mistress..

hi sooz. just munching a sainsbury's gooey triple choc cookie...so no coincidence that you popped up! how are the fragrants of the southern hemisphere?
