I just don't understand why she wasn't allowed to marry Charlie 35 years ago? Why is it ok for her to be with him now? Did they need a virgin (Diana) or something?
Apparently a lot of people are interested in this subject judging by the number of viewings and postings. Why are you looking at it? I'm just curious to know. There's a lot of other posts to read besides this one!
To answer your question: I read many posts about subjects that don't interest me per se, but I am extremely interested in learning what makes other people tick. By reading their posts on one thread, I can formulate my own opinion about them.
Regarding the political end, of which I am admittedly ignorant; I thought the Prime Minister wielded much more power than the Monarchy. I mean, when watching the news, it seems to be the PM who is involved in policy, laws and international relations.
Where the rubber hits the road, who is more vital to the running of the country?
My impression is the Royal family is around more for public relations.
One more question..... You say you don't understand why one person was not allowed to marry another person 35 years ago.
Again, with no personal investment in your response, why do you feel you need to understand such a private matter?
Do you not feel that what goes on between 2 adults as far as their affection for each other is their business alone, or with other parties that are directly effected.
Oops, sorry, one more question.....(well, from my understanding this women will not ever receive the title of Queen, but I'm not sure, nor do I really care), but, how do you feel that her becoming Queen or Consort or whatever her title will be will effect the government?
Yet another question :wink: .....Are you just as interested in the relationship between the Prime Minister and his wife?
When the next Prime Minister gets elected, will you want to know what that persons husband or wife is like?
