[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm neutral on her. [b]The whole situation was incredibly messed up and the result of Charles and Diana being trapped by life circumstances beyond their control based on incredibly old-fashioned strictures that applied to no one else on the planet and should have died off in the early 19th century. And in fact did start dying off shortly after Charles and Diana became trapped by them. Under literally any other circumstances, they would never have married. And they were both emotionally messed up by those same strictures. [/b]It was never going to be anything other than what it was. This stuff has always gone on, it's just we know more about it now with the state of the media. George IV, for example, was totally debauched. Camilla was just a side show.

I pity Charles, honestly. Money doesn't buy happiness. He has his  houses and his Aston Martins and whatever but those are ornaments on a life of basically aimless waiting. 73 years worth of loitering. He's older than most reigning European monarchs and is still waiting.  There's a photo of  him with the Spanish royals on Mallorca in the '80s, almost 40 years old and sitting near a teenaged Prince Felipe. Well, Felipe VI has been on the throne for 8 years now and Charles is still waiting. Same deal with Willem-Alexander. That must be really galling. [/quote]

+1 to the bolded. These aren't the circumstances of almost any other marriage on the planet.

I used to dislike Camilla, but then I warmed to her when she and Charles married. It was clearly love. She's his rock. He seems to have his own rigid way of doing things and she accommodates him in a way that most women wouldn't. She does her work and doesn't complain or stir up drama. She gets that it's an institution and her job is to fit in. Like other pp's, I strongly prefer someone like this to a Markle manipulator who expects everything to change for her or a nitwit, unstable, dishonest Harry who takes, takes, takes, but then plans a coup when he's expected to do his job and play by the rules in return.

That said, I don't really like anyone in the BRF except possibly Kate Middleton.[/quote]

Of course she does “the work” and doesn’t complain. If she did, the public would hate her. She got what she wanted and pretty sure Charles will give her the queen title.[/quote]

But so many of them haven't been able to do the work and play by the rules without complaining. I really don't think she's in it to be Queen; it's clearly love whether you like them or not.[/quote]
