[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it truly repulsive that someone who lacks moral fiber such as Prince Charles will soon be King. Shouldn't his repulsive treatment of his first wife bar him from the throne?[/quote]

I don’t think he lacks moral fiber. It’s miserable that he wasn’t allowed to marry the woman he loved in the first place, and was then forced to take another wife and produce an heir. In one sense, he actually has some moral fiber to have remained loyal to Camilla at least. That said, his marriage to Diana was a train wreck and it was especially regrettable how it destroyed her life - she was, to use Diana’s own words, a sacrificial lamb. [/quote]

I think what makes him repulsive is that he emotionally abused and got involved an innocent victim into his mess. He could've stood his ground and not married her.

He could have, upon marriage to her, committed to her and decided to make the best of the situation.

He did the worst thing he could do.[/quote]

But as a future king, he had to marry someone and was pressured to do so by his parents to avoid another King David-abdication scenario.I blame it on the monarchy. Charles shouldn’t have had to torture himself by marrying anyone other than the one he loved.

I do think some of his other behavior on the crown was more reprehensible and calls his character more into question- particularly his insecurity around Diana’s popularity and his own relevance. That lacked moral fiber and he should be held personally accountable for that. [/quote]
