Camilla has also tested positive.

After breathing all over everyone at some event without a mask the same day Charles tested positive. Gross.

When you really care about someone for years and you see them devastated in a loveless marriage and the biggest instrument of that marriage’s destruction is a selfish vile person who doesn’t respect the sanctity of her own vows or anyone else’s, do you ever really forgive that person just because your friend dies and is no longer there as the reminder of her suffering? I can’t.

I fully understand that Diana was broken in childhood, like many of us are, by truly toxic parenting. I admire her all the more for having retained a huge heart for other people and for being determined to raise her sons differently, with an abundance of affection and encouragement and closeness. I believe if her husband had made the effort they could have had a marriage that lasted and wasn’t miserable - but he never intended to make the effort, not even before he put the ring on her finger. He had his girlfriend befriend her and they manipulated and gaslighted her together, and drove her further into eating disorder and cutting and other destructive behavior by showing her not one ounce of compassion.

I’ve changed so much from that 10 year old that I find the concept of monarchy utterly abhorrent and I cannot understand why any country keeps it still. I hope I live to see the end of monarchy in the UK. From the comments on British tabloid articles about the Queen’s pronouncement it seems that many of her subjects are offended by the prospect of King Tampax and Queen Slag the blatant adulterers, so to that end maybe it’s a great thing that she will disgrace the throne with her tampax boy - drive up the numbers of republicans in the UK. Pedophiles, adulterers, traders of knighthoods to foreigners for cash donations - the Queen’s most famous children are no credit to her. Ironically it is Diana’s child who is the last best hope for redeeming the monarchy.

What a truly bizarre post.

+1. It sounds like this poster was as naive as Diana and bought the idea of a fairytale. Let’s not forget that most of the monarchs have been adulterers and have committed other sins arguably not in keeping with the title of the Defender of the Faith, least of not the founder of the Episcopalian Church who created it so he could marry his affair partner and then beheaded her so he could marry his next.

This is why the RF did not like Diana, she stoled the show. Camilla does NOT have this charm.

Bravo! Eloquently and well said. I also adored Diana. She won her desired moniker of "Queen Of Hearts" so far as I'm concerned.

Of course part of her image was scripted by the BRF PR machine. But I think the huge love in her heart is what people were responding to. When she died, it felt like a very special spirit was extinguished from our world.

Not sure she will ever be truly accepted … hopefully Charles will abdicate fairly quickly and let William and Kate take the reigns … if they want the monarchy, which depends on public good will and support, to survive ..

Abdicating for William and Kate is truly a horrible idea unless he is planning on still doing the same number of events that they currently do without being king and Queen consort. Which I don’t see Charles doing. Also Kate and William aren’t particularly popular with the youngest set. So the biggest argument in favor of continuing the BRF is tradition which you undermine if you skip the line.

I personally think that the monarchy is not long forgotten this world. And would be shocked if George doesn’t end up leading a greatly reduced institution.

Why would Charles abdicate at all? I really don't understand why people keep bringing this up.

because he's past retirement age.

Since when is that a requirement? There’s no age to rule.

+1. People seem to forget that the monarchy is not an elected position even if it's authority has been greatly reduced to a figurehead type of institution. They think they are chosen by God/Divine Providence. Serving until death is expected. If you start saying, Oh, Charles is too old or William is too this or that then you really do start degrading the integrity of the institution.
