Why i like Camilla
She's married now and there's no stopping her. She is the Duchess of Cornwall. She is an HRH (her royal highness for the yanks). and she is princess of wales (but she's not going to use it)
I thought i'd explain why I like her.
Firstly she clearly loves Charles. It seems clear that she always loved Charles from when they met back in the seventies. Now she didn't marry Charles in the 70s because she was thought to be of too low birth. this isn't mentioned very often but her family bloodline was not consider suitable.
So off charles was sent to the navy and poor camilla was left alone. she went on and married, and who can really blame her?
So charlie boy comes back and she trys to be his friend. its clear by now that charles must marry and that Spencer girl is picked. camilla tries to be helpful, she hosts parties for diana, she is one of diana's first supports (diana needed a lot of supporting) and charles even proposes to diana in camilla's vegetable garden.
time goes by, diana breaks down, time after time after time. marriage comes unstuck. charles is initially told that he can not possibly divorce. the relationship becomes sexual again.
all of a sudden everyone's in the press. diana publishes a secret expose book (pretends she wasn't involved but we now know she was), charles publishes a book, diana goes on panorama, diana headlines the papers, charles is in the paper. camilla's name becomes mud in the press.
and where is camilla? not a titter, not a whisper, not a quote to a journalist not an appearance on richard and judy. nought.
TO THIS DAY she hasn't said a word.
I would venture to say that camilla is also quite sharp, she's 'on the ball'. duchy originals was her idea (shrewd) we can guess that other wise decisions. we know for a fact that she herself wanted it made clear she doesn't want to be queen and that she is to be called d.o.c. not p.o.w.
so let's review
1) she's got common sense
2) she's got dignity
3) she doesn't talk to the press
4) she may well stop charles turning into his father
I can honestly say I like her much more than i like any other member of the royal family atm

Surely Charlie could better have gotten himself a young busty photomodel instead of this Camilla figure.

Re: Why i like Camilla
So you're basically saying that you like her because she has no real integrity to speak of, and has spent her entire life pandering to the irrational whims of morons?

No, I think he is saying that Camilla has enough integrity to not go running off to the press everytime she has sand in her vagina and doesn't pander to the irrational whims of morons (ie, the press)

Re: Why i like Camilla
I am in support of the marriage completely. I don't think Camilla has done anything particularly bad in the past. Nothing that the rest of the country isn't up to anyway.
I'm severely doubt Prince Charles will ever become King anyway, so the issue will just blow over. If Prince Charles outlives the Queen I'd be suprised - the women in that family have the long lasting gene (just look at the Queen Mother). If Prince Charles does outlive the Queen, he'll probably abdicate infavour of William who is far better suited to the position. So Camilla will remain as the Duchess of Cornwall and everyone will be happy (except the people from Cornwall perhaps).
The only thing i hate about the Marriage is that i have to watch it on TV. Its on 3 of the Channels i can receive, in two languages (English and Welsh) and the only other thing i can watch is Horse racing. Why does every channel have to show the same thing - i think there should be a ban on such coverage.

The problem was less her marital history and more the fact that she was an American and a Nazi.

Agreed.
What's worse is that all tax-payers are paying for this nonsense, including you. Although, it's not too bad as you can laugh and jeer at whatever cock ups they throw up from time to time.

If Camilla broke into a run, you'd have horse racing on all four channels.

It was largely (at the time, at least.) a combination of her being an outsider and a divorcee. She was hardly an ideologically commited Nazi, and even so, Edward was himself sympathetic to Germany. (The two of them visited Hitler at the Berghof the next year.)

Thats us.
That created a bit of fuss. But then she appologized for her "wild past". Her father is a alcoholic or something, and he sellls her out to the weekly tabloid. So I guess he is one of the reasons why she is pretty well liked now, due to sympathy.
She has made no serious errors of any sorts since getting involved with the crownprince Haakon... How intersting can you make that??
In Denmark on the other side, there you have something. One of the princes has gotten divorced just recently, and was out partying and hitting on girls have his age, when his wife was with their small kid(s). Thats a serious scandal.
We dont have scandals. Okey, our king drinks to much prob. Its a public secreet. Nobody really cares. His father (Olav 5th) was listed as national hero (together with his father, Haakon the 7th), so I guess he comes with a lot of cred. Then you have the princess who married a stupid author, but even this stupid author with a big ego settled in, and is now doing nothing wrong. I had hope for him. But oh no.
Its hard to be a republican in Norway!

Re: Why i like Camilla
You don't really think that Camilla Parker Bowles has done anything interesting in her life. She probably doesn't know what a nightclub is or what 'wild' really means. She is a rather dull person, at least your slapper princess is a modern day cinderella. Camilla is just as boring as ever.
Scandanavian royalty is clearly twice as interesting as ours. All that happened in Britain was the death of Diana. The rest is pretty standard.

Are you german? I know they are obsessed with our young royals. If you are visiting germany, you will probably see them on the front cover of some of those magazines.

Re: Why i like Camilla
People complain when they do things like talk about tampons and 'reveal' that they actually have sexual intercourse with each other, because 'it's not proper' and then they also complain when they are nice and dull and perfect.
There's no winning.

Re: Why i like Camilla
I'm sure the Queen is sometimes very receptive to the idea of giving up her money, status, influence and priviledges in order to grow a moustache, wear an overcoat purchased from Oxfam, and live in the appaling ****ing squalor of some south London shithole where you have to suck 9-inch cheesy West Indian cock 9-5 for three months of the year in order to simply save up enough money to buy a second-hand radiator that was produced in Malaysia in 1982 and which doesn't actually work.

Re: Why i like Camilla
I suspect that if Charles had married Camilla straight off, instead of Diana, then the Royal Family would be less celebrities than monarchs now.
The reason a lot of the press don't like it is because Camilla is less glamorous than Diana was, and so will provide less in the way of entertainment for the masses.

Unless they had some highly publicized affairs, terminating in a divorce, with Camilla dying in a car crash and Charles going on to marry his mistress.

what is the actualy situation with Princess Alexandria now? she still seems to be very much in the limelight and quite a popular figure there too. did she get a fair bit of sympathy after what the prince did?

'course there will. The monarchy will roll on like the ancient unused christmas-tree-shaped air freshener that was hung on the rear view mirror of your car that you claim you will change eventually but never actually will.

If we do get rid of the monarchy, I think we should do away with the whole head-of-state bollocks. I mean, what is the point?
