As far as compassion from other posters, I saw very very little of that. Some replies like "why do you care, you don't live in England'. Now, there's a good method of debating/arguing, don't you think? It is a prerequisite to live in a country before one comments upon it?

Camilla and Charles deserve each other. They are both insufferable, chinless snobs, & can't relate to the common people. Camilla doesn't like to even touch people in a crowd, like Diana did. Thank goodness Harry and William are like their mom.
When a person is famous, they live in a fishbowl. I'm sure my opinions and those of anyone else really do not matter to such people.
I hear Charles may have another mistress already. Guys who cheat on their wives usually cheat on their mistresses, when/if they marry. Ole Camille may be getting a taste of her own medicine.

Quote:These are not facts. They are your opinion. Why do you really care what happens in England.
Have you lived there?
This was a simple question and you replied that you had lived there and went to University there. If you thought the question was so out of line, why did you answer it?
Quote:
Whether it is/was fair for royals, celebrities, etc to live in a fishbowl is a moot point. They do, and they know that when they accept the job. Goes with the territory/job description. Has nothing to do with the way Charles treated Diana. She was used by him (and the Royals) and there are a few people on this thread that agree with that, at least.
As it is a moot point to bash them without any reall knowledge of their situation.
Quote:This thread began when I saw Harry on TV and noticed how much he was like his mom; he's caring and affectionate, loves people, as does William. Harry was holding a little African baby who was dying of AIDS. I somehow cannot see Camilla doing that. I was thinking Diana would be proud of her boys. She did a good job of being a mom even though she was young and had to contend with the Queen.......
None of this was explained in the first post. BTW.. What did you think about Harry wearing the nazi uniform to the party?
Quote:Now. What on earth have I said that could possibly be misconstred as rude here? Like I said, it goes both ways and I certainly received many posts I considered rude. The thinking seems to be 'englishmajor is new here. how dare she be rude so soon, or actually have opinions'. But it's ok if you so called old timers just jump in and mouth off? Strange forum protocol.
There is a difference between being rude and being obnoxious and hurling personal insults against specific posters just because you do not like them or disagree with their point of view.
Quote:If none of you care about the life and times of Charles/Diana/Camilla, then don't read this thread. Maybe it will die a natural death, who cares?
You, apparently, do.

Oh, well
Are you sure you are not Aidan? I would bet a box of Tim Horton donuts and a extra large coffee that you are actually Aidan come back as englishmajor. Oh, well. I have been known to be wrong before.
Steve has provided an excellent explanation of the situation on Charles, Diana and Camilla.
