Queen Camilla

Maybe we should start a 'drivel corner' thread in the café

I a have no desire to read cooking threads, accept some wish to and respect this , seems some are not capable of showing the same respect to threads which bore them.

I agree, merlot, a bit of idle gossip isn't going to besmirch Gransnet's reputation to the extent that it's in tatters!

Blimey, that's a bit pompous, mcem

I didn't realise we are only here to be offering worthwhile, wise advice and sympathetic support.

I've popped in and out of this thread two or three times but I wouldn't call it wasting hours gossiping.

Do get over yourself, dear.

A lesson for all posters here perhaps?
A useless load of nothing.
How interesting would it be if whole chunks of this drivel were published elsewhere as typical of the old bats who waste hours of their time gossipping here.
What a dreadful representation of a worthwhile forum which can offer wise advice and sympathetic support when needed.
Get a grip!

Basically we don't know and will never know!

But there is on,y her word that he said he had every right to have a mistress, she did tell porkies

I'm inclined to agree with you mcem - don't know why I am wasting time on it!

The ginger hair comes from the Spencer side.
I have looked at your link Trisher and if you compare he looks like Prince Charles and nothing like James Hewitt.

What a load of utterly dire gossip!
Has no-one anything better to do? I'm off to do something more interesting like cleaning the loo!!

Until she found out he was still "seeing" Camilla?
And he said he had every right to have a mistress.

Wow! Any thread about the royals doesn't half open up a can of worms doesn't it?
I found it strange the "emotional incontinence" at Diana's funeral-which seems to have stuck since-where did our stiff upper lip go then? There must be a half way place between the two!
I find the whole monarchy thing so outdated. You cannot blame them for keeping the family business and wealth going-it's no more than the rest of us do in our own modest ways, of course. But, really, it's time for all this nonsense to end. We would still have tourists as do other countries who have had the sense to get rid of one privileged family. (Yes I do realise Spain got theirs back but that was after a dictator!)
In these difficult times for many-when has it not been so?-to keep this family going on unearned income which ultimately comes from us is unbelievable.
Yes I realise the pitfalls of an elected leader but, at least, they can be got rid of after their term of office. Imagine if we'd been stuck with some other members of the royal family-eg Pompous Andrew and his layabout daughters?

Forgot. And she started the affair with Hewitt whrn the children were small, they were together five years , she said - yes I loved him,i adored him.

So just how long did she love and adore Charles

But her sister dated him before she did. Her Grannie was lady in waiting to the QM, her father was equerry to the queen, the Spencers holidayed at balmoral, queenie is godmother to Charles Spencer, she hadn't heard anything ?

Was there an agreement one of the Spencer girls would marry Charles . And what did Diana mean when she said of Andrew that- he spent a lot of time playing PlayStation games, I knew he wasn't for me. Why did she just have a feeling she had to remain a virgin.

Why on the day of the engagement did her father in an interview say - she was a healthy baby, perfectly formed, what father's talks of his daughter being a healthy baby on her engagement day.

Oh dear, that old chestnut.

He may not look like Henry VIII (we only have portraits, not actual photos to go by) but he certainly has the Spencer red hair and is more like his uncle, Earl Spencer, than anyone.

Compare the three!

SueScrip (got the ** this time!)
Jealousy is dangerous to mental stability.
If anyone had reason to be jealous I think she did.
Thinking she would be loved but finding out that your new husband was in love with someone else.

Jalima, She had no help? I think she probably had maids, cooks, and a nanny.
SueScrip^ I meant medical/psychiatric help rather than someone to do the cooking and dusting and change dirty nappies.
I would think that the Royal Family would see a breakdown as a form of weakness.

Harry looks like Diana's sister Sarah and her sons they also have red hair too

A female Tudor married into the Stuart dynasty, and a female Stuart contributed to the bloodline that led to the Hanoverians, so a few Tudor genes will have got through to Harry.

I think it was just the ginger hair that sparked the original conjecture about who is father was!

If you ever catch a picture of Harry looking worried or pensive then he looks the image of his father. Didn't Henry VIII's sister, Margaret, marry into the Scottish Royal Family. If they were the Stuarts then there is a bloodline.
Incidentally, one of my granddaughters is descended from the Stuart line and is the image of Bonnie Prince Charlie. And remember when they reconstructed the features of Richard 111 (he of Leicester Car Park fame) he looked so like the living ancestor they had found.

Well it's funny but after watching the latest 'Lucy Worsley-in the-Dressing-up-Box' on the TV I remarked how much like Henry VIII Prince H was. Must just be the hair and the beard because there's no Tudor bloodline there, is there? I'm pretty au fait with the Tudors and the Windsors, but a bit shaky with the middle lot...Stewarts and Hannoverians.
As for William... he bears a remarkable resemblance to his grandfather(P.P)around the time of his engagement to the Queen I think. Again,only just noticed it after watching the latest documentary on the House of Windsor. I really don't spend all my time telly watching, there just seems to have been some very interesting history progs on the box recently.
