Queen Camilla

Prince Charles is campaigning for Camilla to be Queen Camilla when he becomes King. I would not like her to be Queen. I think they both behaved appallingly in carrying on their affair when they were both married to someone else. They had no concern for the hurt, upset and heartbreak they caused Diana and Andrew PB. They just thought it was perfectly OK to act as they did. It's 80 years since Edward abdicated to marry a divorced woman, and Margaret was not able to marry Peter Townsend, even though she was unlikely to ascend the throne. So what rules have changed? He has what he wanted and married her, but making her Queen is condoning their adultery.
But I think I'm in the minority in my view.

Mrs Mopp I agree with every word.

She behaved appallingly, pretending to be concerned for Diana and listening to all her worries about Charles and all the time it was Camilla that was the other woman. Both to blame, the warning bells rang for me when he said 'Whatever love means' when him and Diana got engaged.

I am not convinced that Diana died in an 'accident' either. Too convenient all round imo.

She should NEVER be Queen of England. Dishonest as they come. They can dress her up as much as they like but she will never out-shine Diana.

I am a Royalist and I would support William and Kate if they wanted to by-pass Charles but it will never happen, because he is the rightful heir to the throne according to our constitution and unless he dies before the Queen he will become our King.

Charles, Diana and Camilla were all manipulated by the late sainted Queen Mum,who was also responsible for the continued exile of the Duke of Windsor. Personally I couldn't care less what Camilla is called but I do think the machinations and manipulations within this family are fascinating. They've been at it for years and the public continue to think of them as somehow special and above all recrimination. It's a brilliant piece of PR

Sarah, she said she loved the country, she said she had always enjoyed Balmoral having holidayed there from childhood.

who saw those cuff links apart from Diana? Who moaned her husband read books when on honeymoon ?

When this poor woman died she was not speaking to her mother, brother, sister, ex inlaws, friends , she even sacked the wife of her rock because the woman wanted to spend a bit more time with her own children, they were all cruel to this innocent ?

Anniebach Fri 24-Feb-17 10:44:19

Queen of England ?

sarahellenwhitney Fri 24-Feb-17 10:44:50

Taffy 1234 then surely the husband of a queen should be king.? But this is not the middle ages when a king married whom he fancied and made the unfortunate victim his queen.Woe betide those who objected. Orf with their heads was the order of the day and lucky you if spared but your remaining days were normally spent in the tower.

Craftycat the cuff-link episode was disgraceful, I agree. Did Charles just want a brood mare and not a wife? Why not let the poor girl alone, she was happy working at the nursery. Why put her through all that misery? No wife would stand for that. I am not surprised she spilled the beans, why should she cover up for him?

To excuse Charles by saying all Royalty members do/did this is not right. They should not all be tarred by the same brush and besides it isn't true. Look at Edward for example, or William, they are great husbands.

Camilla is a social climber imo and she wanted to be Queen of the Hill. Unfortunately she has made so many enemies The Firm will have a hard time if they want her to be called Queen.

Diana had a lot of support from the country. She did a lot of good work, which Harry is carrying on, and if you ask me she started seeing Hewitt to get her own back. Fancy seeing someone else while your young, beautiful wife was at home pregnant with your child. Fancy slipping away while on Honeymoon to see your bit on the side! The man is a disgrace.

The day of Charles coronation I feel will be a spectacle never before witnessed in the history of our country.No doubt there will be the likes of the anti giving us that which we observed in the recent presidential election.

Anniebach Fri 24-Feb-17 11:01:16

Yorkshiregal, if your husband died and a woman who was rather involved with him said publicly she didn't like the place where his ashes had been scattered you would think her a victim?

Anniebach Fri 24-Feb-17 11:03:12

But she adored Hewitt, she loved him , she said so , not what a wife in love with her husband would have felt surely

Hasnat Kahn had a lucky escape.

MawBroon Fri 24-Feb-17 11:14:14

I do not think Charles should be our king let alone his partner in crime be our queen.
He committed adultery which is bad enough for we (sic) (=us?) commoners to be the victims of
Adultery is not as far as I know a crime hmm

How were we or indeed you a "victim", Sarahhellenwh confused ?

This thread is going from silly to sillier.
Conspiracy theories too shock

Lupatria Fri 24-Feb-17 11:15:32

i'm sorry but i don't think camilla should be queen. she's not the princess of wales as that wasn't deemed "the right thing" and i don't think she should be queen either.

Lincsblue Fri 24-Feb-17 11:25:27

Why didn't Charles marry her when he first knew her and neither of them were married?

merlotgran Fri 24-Feb-17 11:26:14

Conspiracy theories too

As Ian Hislop once said, 'Anyone would think Prince Philip shot her with a blunderbuss!' grin

The monarch is only head of the church because Henry VIII wanted to get his leg over with Anne Boleyn and we all know what happened then. Lots of adultery going on there. Of course Camilla will be Wueen uts a title that goes with the role of wife of King. All outmoded and anocronistic. Let's hope it's the last gasp of the monarchy.

suzied Fri 24-Feb-17 11:27:13

Excuse typos!

Anniebach Fri 24-Feb-17 11:27:26

She is the PofW,Nige doesn't use the title, it is a title which comes with marriage to the Prince of Wales and not bestowed as a gift . Just as a second wife of Joe Blogs is Mrs Joe Blogs

KatyK Fri 24-Feb-17 11:30:52

Who knows how any of us would react/behave when we found out that the many we married was in love with someone else and we weere just being used as a baby machine.

Anniebach Fri 24-Feb-17 11:36:55

Who knows how any of us would behave if we found we were married to a manipulator

Up the Revolution!!

Christinefrance Fri 24-Feb-17 11:59:25

Let those of us without sin etc. However I do feel anyone in public office has a responsibility to act in a moral and ethical way. How many MPs or others paid from the public purse think they are above such considerations.
I would have thought the Diana effect had lessened by now but seems it's still alive and kicking.

joannewton46 Fri 24-Feb-17 12:20:31

I think Charles is the best trained-for-the-job King we are ever likely to have. It's a shame he's had to live on the sidelines for so long but the Queen is a hard act to follow!
Personally I would prefer not to have Queen Camilla but am not that fussed.
As to whether we should have a monarchy or not - would you rather have a Donald at the top?

Anniebach Fri 24-Feb-17 12:22:51

What baffles me is Charles is wished dead yet Nigella Lawson is adored by many, that she had an affair whilst her husband was dying and then married the man shortly after her husbands death was accepted

marionk Fri 24-Feb-17 12:27:02

Diana wasn't too fussy when it came to flings either!!

KatyK Fri 24-Feb-17 12:34:36

Yes but only after she had been hurt. This is only my opinion, no one knows what really went on.
