Queen Camilla

stillalive and kicking I always understood that Philip had a thing for shopgirls.

And don't tell me Diana didn't know about Camilla and Charles or the in's and out's of it all. Any normal person wouldn't have touched him with a barge pole let alone marry him. Darling Di knew exactly what she was getting into and let's face it, she had enough affairs herself )

Of course Diana was 'country set' as are her children and Camilla. We have a disagreement here in my home, about Kate. Middletons - country set or not?

So, Diana wasn't one of the 'county set' Azie09 . She was the daughter of Earl Spencer, a direct descendant of the Duke of Marlborough. How 'county' can you get? LMAO!

from not by - just in case any pendants are about

I agree with Annie on her last post. He has learned by both parents and chosen to do the opposite of their wrongs.

Oh deary me , the windsors are country set , William and Harry included, calling them upper class twits after praising them is strange

As to how William parents his children is due to Diana, true, he keeps his children away from the cameras after a childhood when his mother paraded him for the press.

Yes, the sainted Diana, a poor girl from below the lower income levels. Certainly not raised at all as Camilla in gentry.

Exactly Daisy, but the end the day Im not a pious prig and believe that we are all human, sometimes good people do bad things and unless you actually walk in the other persons shoes, who are you to cast outright condemnation/judgement. I personally don't give a frig what people do behind closed doors unless of course there's outright abuse involved.

stillaliveandkicking Wonderful!!!!!! That others should be as liberal.

Shame on Camilla for what she did? Didn't Charles participate? Who are we to say if Windsors should be adulterers or not?

You'd be surprised then these days Daisy, Im on POF and dating with a view to a having another sexual relationship

And Diana wasn't then, she was just a normal everyday person

Usually MNetter age when married, at least Lizzie and di were in that age bracket. GNetters aren't usually looking to hook up.

William, Kate and Harry have restored my faith in the monarchy and I was never a royalist! However William and Harry have become fine young men, I think they're a credit to their mother and everything about them says they were loved, especially by her, their mother. You can see it, particularly in how William parents.

So all credit to Diana who was treated badly by the rest of the Royals. Hence I think Camella should not become Queen, she behaved badly, she's one of the county set, the kind of upper class twits who have no idea how ordinary people manage and mostly they don't care. She is the past and the Royals have Diana to thank for the resurgence of interest in a monarchy today.

That's my pennyworth!

So what. It's all under the same umbrella. Maybe she's on both, it's allowed you know.

Because this isn't Mumsnet. It's Gransnet.

Whilst we aren't on mumsnet we are on a site run by the same so why are you picking Daisy up on this Ana? It's no big deal.

We're not Mumsnetters, DaisyDog. Are you on the wrong site?

Never wise to put anyone on a pedestal. We are all human beings at the end of the day but I love what they represent and always will.

Yes they do. They set us apart and bring in rather a lot of revenue.

It's well known that artists used to shag their "muse" so whilst there isn't a definition and just a general saying on my behalf. I will let you contemplate/make up the rest mrsmopp.

Grandmama, why do you say Diana should not have married Charles. She loved him, she didn't know he already had Camilla willingly on the back burner. Can you cast your mind back to your wedding day, when you married the man you loved and trusted. How would you have felt if your husband had someone else before the wedding cake was cut. She was publicly humiliated. What ever you say about Diana she didn't deserve that, she was a great mom and Had a natural way with everyone she met. Camilla might have tied the line since her wedding to Charles, but Shane on her fir what she did.

Royals adulterous? Do tell. Charles nervous and bright married to a dreary dunce? Do tell. Harry wild and crazy? Do tell. Phil the Greek? Who would suit every MNetter? Nobody.

I really don't think the Queen and Prince Philip had an arranged marriage.

Lord Mountbatten was a great influence on Charles's early life as well, and had strong ideas about what sort of a wife he should choose.

Of course he wasn't around when Charles actually met and married Diana, I'm not sure whether that was a good thing or not, tbh...
