Why The Public Turned On Charles & Camilla | Into The Unknown | Real Royalty

Buckingham Palace occupies a unique place in the heart of Great Britain. Its balcony is a focus of national rejoicing. The Queen's grandparents

up there, as did her parents at the end of the war. Churchill was there on the Queen's wedding day and after her coronation, the entire royal family was there. When Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer, they took their place on the palace balcony, now a more controversial pairing, a plus for balcony parades. Crowds flocked to the palace on the Queen's official birthday in June to see the royal family celebrate with an appearance on the balcony.

He now faces a dilemma of whether to invite Camilla, Charles's new wife, with all the connotations of her past role as his mistress. No one

ly wants to delve into the murky past and history of Charles and Camilla's relationship. The word adultery seems to have been tippex tout, but the truth of the matter. It is that they did have an adulterous relationship and that in 1975 the queen, who did not want to blame her son for having an adulterous relationship, said that she would never again have Camilla Parker-Bowles in the same room as her. The Queen is aware that it has happened. adultery, she knows what the consequences have been, she won't forget it and you won't see Camilla on the balcony of Buckingham Palace when the Queen is there. 1990 marked the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Britain as a royal family.

They saw the fly pass, little did they know that scandal would soon engulf them and threaten the monarchy itself. Their problems

real

ly began in 1960 when Princess Margaret's sister, the Queen, married Lord Snowden, she would be the first royal to divorce in modern times in 1973. The Queen's only daughter, Princess Anne, married Mark Phillips, another union doomed to fall apart and would later remarry in a low-key ceremony. The spectacular wedding of Charles and Diana was destined to secure the future of the Windsor dynasty. The fabulous ceremony on a sunny day in July 1981 was the royal family's own fairy tale Camilla's dark secret a guest at that wedding hid later Diana said there were three of us in this marriage Sarah Ferguson Fergie married the prince Andrew in 1986 his marriage said that the archbishop was a precious gift to the nation his The wedding journey would also be littered with unfulfilled promises and shattered hopes.

Divorce and scandal would destroy the Queen's family. In the last 20 years, the British royal family has survived some pretty catastrophic events and I think they have all, in different ways, jeopardized that future. By marrying Camilla Charles hopes to secure the future of the royal family. I'm afraid I can't agree with him. I think by marrying Camilla Charles he is taking the royal family into dangerous new territory. Camilla will become the most important woman in the country after the Queen, that is quite a leap for a lover for someone who only in very recent memory was an extremely unpopular figure given her central role in the breakdown of Charles and Charles's marriage.

Diana, who after all was the cornerstone of the future of the Windsors summer 2004 Balmoral Castle in Scotland the Queen reluctantly began the process of change after a series of joint appearances by Charles and Camilla the Queen became convinced that the problem needed a solution during her own lifetime there were meetings at Balmoral I think it all began on June 4, when the Queen was there for a few days staying in a loggia away from the main house and a series of advisors came from London and began to talk about the constitutional implications of marriage, but at Christmas Charles decided I really want to get married and I spoke to the Queen about it while I was at Sandringham and that set things in motion for an announcement in February.

I definitely feel that the Queen's hand was forced, I think we can see that in the period of the last three or four years where she has been deceived more than once, Prince Charles and his courtiers have pressured her to do things that she I would rather not do. She was forced to meet Camilla Parker-Boles at a party in Highgrove that Carlos organized and she didn't. I want to do it but Prince Giles said don't do that and I didn't come to the Queen Mother's centenary the Queen doesn't accept Camilla Parker-bowles and that's a problem for the future Ludlow 2003 this was a nostalgic visit for Charles opening the new Jubilee post, Charles recalled an earlier day when he had ridden at Ludlow as an amateur jockey and stayed to watch the Prince of Wales Challenge Trophy race named after his previous Chase in October 1980, when Lady Diana Spencer, his teenage girlfriend, saw with Camilla parker-bowles saw him race to second place on his horse alibi dianna did not know then that Camilla was really his lover Charles admitted his long relationship with Camilla in a television interview in 1994 their romance mirrored a historical romance Charles her great-grandfather Edward VII and Alice Kettle Camilla's great-grandmother were lovers Alice was beautiful, elegant and discreet, the more adventurous Camilla emulated her role model, but came out of the shadows with minor charity roles, however, it seemed that she was also content to remain a lover, I think Camilla would never have imagined she would become a duchess, a princess, perhaps even a queen in time, she had a teenage ambition to emulate her great-grandmother Alice Kapil, who had an affair with King Edward the Seventh thought she could do it too. she maybe she is a real lover but she never thought she would be anything more than that now we look at it and see that Alice Kapil is a mere footnote in the story and Camilla is going to make a whole chapter.

Charles had met Camilla in 1972. They had a brief affair until he began his naval duties in early 1973. He was absent until September in July. Camilla married her friend, the handsome Guards officer Andrew Parker Bowles, a favorite at Court. Royal Camilla was six years into a seven-year campaign to marry Andrew Parker Bowles, knew that she was disqualified from becoming Princess of Wales for three reasons: one, that her appearance was not up to par, second, that her aristocratic lineage did not she was up to par and thirdly she was not a virgin so there was never a chance that she was ever going to be Princess of Wales and she knew it, she has been in the background for most of her life as a constant support and a friend in good and bad times.

Promotion from mistress to wife is notoriously complicated in

royalty

. In history, there is a convention that a lover cannot look beyond her position. Well, it seems that this she is looking beyond her current position. If she entered this room, there we would be required to stand and bow to her protocol. He prevented Camilla from joining Charles at many family or official events if the Queen was present Camilla was segregated Charles was faced with the choice of leaving the situation as it was or trying to resolve it through marriage, he would be damned if he did, he would be damned if he didn't. really did.

He has had to endure a lot of embarrassment because Camilla was prevented from going to spend Christmas with the royal family. Easter with the royal family and then in November last year, Charles and Camilla were going to a wedding at Chester Cathedral, the two of you, the prince. he had something he was getting married and Camilla was told she couldn't sit with him due to royal protocol, she would have to sit behind him or possibly on the other side of the church from him and it was just an embarrassment too much humiliation too much what's up with all this We talk about royal protocol as if it were written in stone, but really royal protocol is what the monarch of the day decides and, essentially, that's just the Queen showing her distrust and disapproval of the relationship with Queen Rania of Jordan who he backs gave the couple the encouragement they needed for their first

public

kiss.

Charles has long tried to persuade the

public

, the church, and his own parents that he should make Camilla his wife. I don't think that Carlos is driven by a sense of duty to marry Camilla. I believe this is something he has devoutly desired for many years; It is he alone, and against great opposition from the causes of the Queen and Prince Philip, who has been pushing this idea. that he could actually marry Camilla and get away with it, now we have yet to see if this bet is going to work out because a large proportion of the British public are really undecided about whether it will be a good decision or not, just a year ago.

After Diana's tragic death, Charles claimed that he had been tortured by Camilla. I thought the British people were compassionate, but I don't see much of that. He complained to an author. I think this is where Prince Charles often goes wrong when he complains about people. by not showing him compassion, he often comes off as overly sorry for himself, a little unsure of himself, someone who fails, someone who can't make a decision, he just seems to feel that it is his destiny to be king, it is his destiny to do so. what he wants in his private life and no one has the right to criticize him and I think this is where he has gone wrong in many ways.

Charles and Camilla often hold lavish functions to attract wealthy patrons to their charities, on such occasions Camilla is dressed in an expensive sofa. or dresses and wears inherited jewelry like Alice Keppel Camilla has become a woman of considerable wealth the king of the seventh left his mistress Alice Kapoor Camilla's very rich great-grandmother when she died made sure that she had enough money in her coffers not only for her own life, but during the lives of her children and great-grandchildren, and it is true that Camilla lived on part of the money that her great-grandmother left and passed on.

I think it's almost certain that Prince Charles, looking at history, will have done exactly the same thing. provisions and Camilla will be very rich when she dies Camilla will still have to enjoy comparisons with Diana as Charles's fiancée the teenage Diana was already an attractive girl with a highly photogenic striking figure it was soon revealed Sean Charles who became jealous of her glamorous young man his wife, two other people, his visual appeal coupled with his bright personality proved to be an irresistible combination, he became a national asset, a roving ambassador for his country, Diana could flirt with Britain and is an underused diplomatic weapon.

I mean innocent flirting, which is what she can have. a very disarming effect on the most unlikely people and was one of Diana's great talents. I think that while she was very aware of the need to carry out this kind of high-level diplomatic activity to the letter and she was, she was extremely conscious of it, yet she was able to add her own touch of polish and it did it over and over again. I mean the president of Egypt, the president of the United States, the president of France, the president is happy, he said that he makes you feel good and nobody thought that. which meant that she made him feel virtuous, she gave him a good feeling, that was one of her jobs as she sought to travel the world giving good feelings to people and that included both presidents and orphans and victims of diseases. to highlight a problem that is happening all over the world, she left her palace most days, got in her car, went and did her job and it was a very unusual job and very stressful, but it could also be very rewarding and the most rewarding part was usually the people she met and whether it was the East End of London or the East End of Lahore, she did know people who she could communicate with and who needed her in their life. because the rest of her life was pretty bleak so that was a successful day and she responded that that's what made her such a good princess she was great at her job because she committed herself emotionally and mentally to him Camilla parker-bowles in a way In a very different situation, I think she should probably aim to attract acceptance and perhaps in the distant future affection as well, but right now even attracting acceptance is going to be a difficult decision, it will require a lot of things to go right and it will require her to come . to the British people and the world at large as a worthy successor to Diana Camilla is a woman known for hunting rather than caring about Charles has presented her through a choreographed public relations campaign without much thought to her image, in my opinion, this is putting the cart before the horse, I think what should have happened is that Camilla should have been introduced to the British nation, we know nothing about it, she is an enigma, she is hidden behind the palace walls for the longest time. than I can remember and has never been surpassed in the flesh.

She spoke to the British public and allowed herself to be measured by their standards. The thing about having a real family is that they pay their dues, they work for a living, they make a living doing good works, helping charities, and Camilla does virtually nothing. So she helps the Osteoporosis Society a little, but it doesn't look like she's helping anyone except herself. The British public, the world has known Camilla as a lover, now they will have to start thinking of Camilla as a queen. The first thing I have here is a Princess of Wales, which is whateffect will be and then they will have to think of her as a queen and even if she is not going to be Queen for the foreseeable future, that is how people will have to imagine her, that is the image that will have to live up to and I think it is very unlikely to be sold to the British public and the world at large as anything like a suitably regal woman. a figure who commands the kind of almost universal respect that a head of state needs to have as he approaches 80;

The queen is admired throughout the world for her dedication to duty throughout her life; However, there is one area where she could have done things differently, as we now knowVideo tapes recorded during Diana's lifetime showing that she went to the Queen to seek help regarding Charles and Camilla, but the Queen refused to interfere. Diana decided to betray Charles and expose his affair. It is a real shame that so many opportunities to produce a happy result have been lost. She was aware that there were opportunities for other members of the royal family to help Charles and Ayane through the crisis they were facing and, in particular, to help Diana.

She was not a natural rebel; in fact, more often she longed for reassurance, encouragement and guidance, whether the words could not be found or Diana did not hear them, she felt excluded from the royal organization and while she was not a rebel, she was not a weak one either and when She saw it, she felt numbered and conspired against her. defiant, the Queen did not tolerate Camilla's behavior, the couple adopted the strategy of appearing together at events for their own charities, such as the Prince's Trust, but the Queen refused to allow Camilla to join Charles on royal duties. officers;

The Queen was concerned about upsetting the more traditional. Supporters of the monarchy did not want Camilla to be seen as part of the family but of course the wedding announcement simply exacerbated the problems and proved very, very divisive. Camilla retained a group of friends who were almost ladies. -in waiting, some like Emily Van Cut, some joined her on exotic holidays, Emily has now fallen from grace after a fight with Camilla at Charles and Camilla's new Royal Court, skiing, hunting and polo friends , they want to dominate each other. Is of Carlos. Camilla's ski friend and staunch supporter Patti Parma Tomkinson brought them together four years after Charles' marriage.

She could be considered a creative queen. Patti and her husband Charlie's daughters, Santa, a romance novelist, and Terra, a dedicated party girl and reformed drug addict, are among the princes' social set. The queen chooses less exuberant friends for Charles; Such public frivolity will have to end when he finally succeeds Camilla to her mother. The adulation of her followers must be tempered with restraint. Camilla is said to be of good English county stock and it may well be that that very happily morphs into good royal stock and much depends on how she perceives herself how she uses her new position is enormously influential it depends rather on what she likes. inform whether she takes herself with great grandeur or whether she maintains a sense of proportion Camilla will not use the title of Princess of Wales will be Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cornwall as Duke of Cornwall Charles benefits from the enormous income of the duchy He has an income of around £12 million a year that only pays voluntary taxes a parliamentary committee recently began investigating its finances.

The most embarrassing moments in Charles' recent past is the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee investigation, but where they showed he was getting away with the blue murder, this is a Prince man. Charles, who has about a hundred personal things to take care of on his own, I mean, the Queen doesn't come close to having that many at the Queen's discretion. Camilla will now be able to use the Royal Air Squadron's helicopter and two planes for Royal Air Force engagements. A fleet of eight gleaming chauffeured limousines, two Bentley's, three Rolls and three Dame lers will now be officially available to Camilla with permission. of the Queen.

Coaches with liveried footmen will be able to drive the new Duchess of Cornwall. Camilla has already entertained the guests. at Buckingham Palace with Charles on behalf of his charities as his wife, will have more frequent use of those miles of red carpet and stunning staterooms that tourists admire every summer, when the palace is open to the public, he might find that the palace has many secrets some members of staff have carried out a brisk trade in unwanted gifts passed on by their royal bosses the royals themselves have been lampooned by the British press with comparisons to television comic characters then an undercover reporter he got a position as a footman his detailed account of life behind the palace walls contained photographs of the Queen's breakfast table complete with Tupperware boxes the public had only seen the state apartments now they discovered how the Queen lived clearly there was some degree of intrusion by a reporter posing as a member of the Queen's household, despite the revelations it produced such as the fact that the Queen liked breakfast cereals served in Tupperware boxes was endearing and kind of warm and I think the audience was amazed by it and I think they felt that a lot more about the Queen made her seem a lot more like one of them, one of us, the Queen and her family, extreme middle class and a lot of European aristocrats.

They looked down on the Windsors because they know their pet peeves are Jean and Gigi and they know horse racing and they're not fancy. They don't dress well, they're chubby around people, and they seem to think that Tupperware boxes on the breakfast table, well, that would be the kind of thing you'd expect from middle-class people like the Windsors as heirs. to the throne Carlos is accustomed to deference when meeting the public Camilla will expect courtesies since Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cornwall there was no protocol when she visited Chile alone to visit Lucía Santa Cruz, an old friend who introduced her to Carlos in 1972 Camilla was besieged by paparazzi and pursued by interviewers from now on the royal machinery will protect her from discomfort and danger she will have bodyguards for her private holidays the Duchess of Cornwall will enjoy official tours courtesy of the British taxpayer she will indeed be in the public recognition visits from Payroll by Charles Your staff will ensure that all aspects of overseas tours go smoothly A protective cordon will protect you from intrusive interrogators Staff will ensure that you are never put in this position again Your cars will be checked and kept under surveillance for possible kidnapping or assassination attempts paparazzi will be kept at a distance and backup vehicles will prevent them from following too closely on this visit to Chile there was a disturbing reminder of Diana's fatal accident in Paris Camilla was also pursued by the paparazzi to a tunnel Diana handed over to her bodyguard in 1993, after her separation from Charles, she had to face harsh treatment when she was on vacation with just friends.

Her former bodyguard believes that dropping her police protection led directly to her death in Paris after a car accident. In my opinion, Scotland Yard would have been in charge. of that security that night, regardless of any conspiracy theory or any plan to attack her or take her life that night, if Scotland Yard had provided the security, you and I would not be having this conversation. I don't think she understood the degree. to which her Scotland Yard protection officers made her life bearable and I think her decision to do without them was quite petulant and intended to arouse the sympathy of people who very soon were able to see the consequences of her being unprotected.

Ken Wharf was Diana's eyes and ears, he protected her at home and abroad from the attacks of murderers and stalkers, a trained marksman, his casual air belying his own role as a potential bullet catcher, whatever the occasion, no one escaped his scrutiny. If Camilla wants to follow in Diana's footsteps, she'll need another Ken. to follow her and keep the press at bay here in Egypt. Ken proved that he was good at dealing with the press, allowing Diana the opportunity to pose for photographers before continuing her tour on this trip while she stayed at the ambassador's residence in Cairo.

Ken kept guard while she took a dip in the pool, Dad was pretty sharp and had, you know, very, very good peripheral vision and I think it was actually her at the same time that I saw some people on the roof of a tall building nearby. I was pretty sure there were media outlets taking pictures of Dyer in the pool. All I did to help was try to darken the shots they were taking. Well, you know, it didn't always work out and that wasn't it. My role is necessary, but actually, if you look at it from a security point of view, it wasn't really a bad thing, but of course Dinah was discussing it and said, look, you know where I am, what am I doing here?

I have to go out? I said, well, no, stay there, do what you want, she said, well, I never have peace here, do I? I said, well, no, but that's part and parcel of being the princess of words, and how much I can do about it. Ken was a reliable companion to esp. Every August when the royal family re

to their retreats in the Balmoral Highlands, there were aspects of Balmoral life that he didn't like, but very often he would read me and say look, I need to go for a walk and again he walked miles along. along the River Dee and that was her freedom, but I think there were many aspects of Beryl that she actually enjoyed towards the end, of course, the relationship was too close for home, you have the mother-in-law.

The law and you and your father-in-law are in a bit of danger there, so she would rather talk to her staff members. Staff spotted Charles and Diana in a less formal setting at Highgrove, the country home the couple share in Gloucester. This was his weekend retreat. Charles and his children had their pets there. Charles's dog, Tigger, was unpopular with some of the staff. Tia and Mervyn, the chef, didn't have a very good relationship because Mervyn didn't want dogs in the kitchen, but one morning Tigger ran towards her because of something that fell out of the frying pan, at which point he grabbed the dog by the back of the neck and then opened the heater, stepped on the oven and put the dog on the heater and you should also Come in literally, almost immediately, did the Prince notice?

When I said, has anyone seen Tigger? He could actually play that same song. Are the dogs in the oven? But he left and came back. I said, let me take the dog out. It was the dog now. It was instead of being a kind of semi rough skinning head and Jack Russell was now a smooth skinned rassa with a kind of quite high temperature, so we had it move through it in the hallway and the footprints appeared, that was Tigger, they said. You look incredibly sexy Camila is learning that the staff plays a crucial role in any palace.

They are also aware of any tension in their bosses' relationships. You know it's a pretty lonely place and you know that our family members depend on the staff members. You know you have Alex, your butler, your maid or what you look like, they caught it in the Princeton Princess of Wales case. You know it was pretty obvious that the marriage was going through a difficult period, but it was kept very secret. Know? everyone knew in his circle of friends, everyone knew who worked at the palace that there were problems with his marriage and it wasn't very difficult to see that I think it's a credit to his staff that very little has been said about working as a royal.

Residencies mean low wages and long hours. Some employees have found other ways to increase their income, such as selling information and trinkets passed to them by their bosses. Recent events have made their livelihood and safety uncertain. He always prays to the Royal Order of "Well, you know you can come in one day and leave the next and everything has become very strict because of all the leaks and because you know that a reporter from the Daily Mirror got a job there and then revealed too many things for the Queen's taste, so you." If you're hindered, you have to sign all these secrecy acts, confidentiality agreements and the salaries are a pittance, which is why a lot of them were selling these gifts, they collect these trinkets and things or letters or whatever and sell them on eBay or They sell them through people in America who worship the royal family and to supplement their horrendous salary Paul Burrell Diana's butler worked for the Diana Memorial Fund after her death with his secretary Jacqueline Allen were guests of honor at a wedding event.

American Fundraiser This gift to Beryl from Diana and other items were sold to raise money for good causes. A replica of the blue diamond necklace worn by Kate Winslet in the film Titanic raised more than a million pounds and it was later revealed that Borel had hidden hundreds of the princess's belongings in her home,accused of robbery. He was tried at the Old Bailey His court case was a fiasco He was acquitted when the Queen recalled a conversation in which he told her he was safeguarding some of the princess's papers He then revealed details of his private conversation with the Queen Beryl collapsed because First of all , they should never have moved on.

I mean, they made a fundamental mistake: they were deceived by what the police presented to them. If the Prince of Wales had followed the advice offered to him by several senior figures that his staff had met with Beryl before the case began, he could have resolved it and Beryl was no threat to them and all the material Beryl had was buried in his attic, he wasn't going to sell it. she wasn't going anywhere, but she kept going, he was prosecuted and the trial collapsed as many of us knew it would because she had fundamentally done nothing wrong.

Beryl then betrayed secrets about Diana Charles and Camilla in a book that was serialized with explosives. tabloid headlines betrayed Diana, there are no two ways about it, the man who for four years said he would never leak anything did it - just to make money because he was so upset when he lost his job and his house when Diana died and he He couldn't forgive the royal family, he went to the Queen and begged her to let him stay at Kensington Palace and she said that now after Diana's death, her royal jewels were returned to the palace.

The princess had many heritage items, some like this necklace that she dates. Towards The Queen's grandmother, the children inherited most of Diana's jewelry that was not part of the Royal Collection and they went and chose certain pieces they wanted. I think Harry took his Cartier watch and William took her engagement ring, but obviously his personal jewelry remains. For them and their future wives, the tiaras that belonged to the queen that she borrowed and were passed down from generation to generation would have returned to the royal jewelery pool, the Duchess of Cornwall may be seen wearing some of the royal gems Even part of the Queen's personal collection may not be the State Diadem, a crown jewel, but there are seven other sumptuous tiaras, including the Queen's favorite, the Pearl and Diamond Tiara and the Russian Fringed Tiara.

There are 15 important necklaces, dozens of earrings, bracelets and rings in the collection, plus many other pieces from previous queens On their engagement, Charles gave Camilla a diamond ring that belonged to the late Queen Mother. It was worth half a million pounds in 1901, after the death of Queen Victoria. Edward, Alice Kapil's seventh mistress, and her queen Alexandra were crowned. a crown containing the fabulous Kohinoor diamond which was said to bring bad luck to its owner, was worn by the Queen Mother on her own consort's crown on her coronation day in 1937 and was placed in her coffin at her funeral in 2002, now at the Tower of London with the crown jewels could be worn by Camilla at Charles' coronation Alice Kapil knew her role in Edward's seventh life was strictly private.

A softening of the public campaign waged over several years has driven the course of events that led to Charles's second marriage, although he was divorced. In 1996, Diana's death made him a widower in the eyes of some people. Camilla had divorced in 1995, she was invited to Carlos's first wedding. The press began to speculate about her possible marriage to Carlos. First there were religious and constitutional obstacles to overcome. Similar difficulties faced. Edward VIII in 1936 his Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin forced him to choose between the throne and the divorced Wallis Simpson for her he abdicated they married in France and lived in exile their memories still haunt the royal family Princess Margaret also faced a tough choice between retaining her royal position and marrying group captain Peter Townsend, a divorced man.

Margaret owed loyalty to her sister, the newly crowned queen, and had to meet the standards in place in the 1950s. Princess Margaret did not marry in 1953 because the government of the day advised the Queen that it would not be acceptable to the British public largely due to Church of England reservations in 1992 divorced Princess Anne bypassed Church of England married Tim Laurence at Balmoral church zkk rathi under easier Church of Scotland rules George carry then, the Archbishop of Canterbury explored ways to allow Charles and Camilla to marry with the commitment of a civil wedding and his successor, Rowan Williams, made a church blessing.

The church has played a very important role in forcing Charles's hand in the marriage. They have felt very uncomfortable. For a long time, watching Carlos and Camilla live as they see it in sin, they seem to be divided on the matter. There is a section of the church that believes that people should be allowed a second chance at happiness and then there is another group that believes that marriage is sacred and that the guilty parties in a divorce especially should not be allowed to remarry. get married, so I can see that the old guard guy in the Church of Eden would say no, no, no, it's not possible to marry them.

Charles is a civil wedding problem. We go back to 1836, when Queen Victoria was still heir to the throne. In 1840, the young queen married her German cousin, Prince Albert, in a church service at the Chapel Royal of St. James's Palace Group Captain Peter Townsend and Princess Margaret were unable to marry in a civil ceremony by the law of 1836 and by a later one, there are several laws that govern marriages of the royal family. We go back to the Marriage Act 1836 and the Marriage Act 1949, which both seem very clearly to prevent members of the royal family from marrying in civil ceremonies, but there is a danger that if this law is not tested now in courts, future members of the royal family are at risk of illegally marrying and their spouses. lose inheritance rights unless the government changes the law, now someone is going to prove that that marriage is illegal, it is legally contentious and I fear that that will go down in the history books, for better or worse, and I fear that Worse yet, when people look back on this entire episode, the fact that it was legally dubious will be one of the things they notice and don't like.

Charles followed the advice of the Lord Chancellor of Great Britain on the legality of a civil wedding. I'm told human rights legislation overturned previous laws banning the royal family from holding civil weddings. The best thing about the royal family is that they make it up as they go. They can do whatever they want. What they like to do. They like to cite precedents. and if they want to do something and it hasn't been done recently they can say oh, it was done in Henry VIII's time, it was done in Queen Victoria's time, if they don't have a precedent then they just make it up and say, oh, Well. that's how it should be anyway and the best thing is that they get away with it simply because they want to and it's very interesting to see how inventive they can be with their own rules maybe Camilla's biographer is right to be cynical, it was also stated that the members The royal family did not have to publish their marriage bans, but Charles was quick to do so in Cirencester, in a town near his country home.

Charles's title makes him an unusual addition to the local roll by attending Sunday service in a closed parish. According to Highgrove, he is trying to avoid a rift with the broader church over his civil wedding. Settling for a church blessing will not satisfy everyone and some may not consider his marriage valid soon after their engagement. Charles made an official visit to Australia without Kamila who he confronted. A lukewarm reception, his visit coincided with two new royal stars stealing the show: Crown Prince Frederick of Denmark and his Tasmanian-born wife, Princess Mary, a former Sydney estate agent. Her gifts recalled a previous visit in 1983, when the young Princess Diana made her first official tour. from Australia Diana and Charles received a rapturous reception these were the glory days of the British royal family Shirley Camilla cannot expect such popularity I imagined that the reaction to Camilla in Australia will be comparable to the reaction to Camilla here in the sense that some people will think that she is The good thing is that not many, I suspect more people will think that she is not a substitute for Diana and that, in fact, by taking Diana's place, Charles is showing a lack of respect towards Diana, but the The vast majority will be more or less so in different opinion polls. to show that support for a republic is growing again in Australia and as Australians face the prospect of Charles becoming their next king with Camilla as his wife, support for a republic has risen further in polls opinion, Charles should also consider the reactions of all the 15 Commonwealth nations where the queen is head of state.

I think the Commonwealth has been woefully neglected not so much by the Queen, who takes her permission every week to go to the Commonwealth as head of the Commonwealth very seriously, but I know that Prince Charles is not so enthusiastic about his duties. in the Commonwealth like his mother and I think it is very unfortunate that the future of the British monarchy seems to be turning its attention more towards Europe than the rest of the world. which - empty palace for a clue for a symbolic head Windsor Castle was announced as the wedding venue many royal marriages and baptisms took place within its ancient stone walls St George's Chapel was used in 1992 for a wedding attended by all members of the royal family was the marriage of Lady Helen Windsor, daughter of the Queen's cousin, the Duke of Kent, and in 1999 Prince Edward married Sophie Rhys Jones in Some George's Chapel.

He is the only one of the Queen's children who is not divorced. The chapel is ornate and majestic. splendid with the atmosphere of a cathedral Charles's plans to marry there were thwarted by a legal technicality that arose after they made the announcement, a rather hasty announcement brought about by a leak to a newspaper that they could not marry at the Castle of Windsor without allowing the public to marry, so for the next three years the Queen was horrified at the thought of her weekends being interrupted by members of the public getting married and all sorts of chaos would ensue.

Charles's officials are starting from scratch with this and are trying to blend in with the Queen's household and what this requires and I think it is not surprising that here and there things have come unstuck, the couple will now make the short trip from the castle through the town of Windsor to the Registry Office at the Guild Hall the low-key ceremony will take place in the Ascot room there will be no television cameras and only Camilla's family and Charles' son will attend, particularly the Reina will be absent. It goes against the grain for the Queen not to attend the wedding.

The monarchy is really about theater and I think part of the problem is that the Queen was worried that this was becoming a farce and she didn't want to be associated with something that is making the monarchy an object of ridicule around the world. world. Right now, how different everything was the last time Carlos got married around the world. 750 million watched the event. Many who believed in the fairy tale are still angry about Charles's deception and the tragic loss of Diana. I think the public is very cynical about the royal family I think their image has deteriorated year on year for the last 15 or 20 years, there are too many people who really don't trust Prince Charles at all and I don't think they would want to. that he was the king, people under 40 think. the Queen and other members of the royal family are simply celebrities like Michael Jackson or Robbie Williams and there is a soap opera going on and from time to time they are quite interested to see what the latest installment of the over 40 soap opera is.

In general, they still take the monarchy quite seriously and I think it is those people in particular who have been upset by the prospect of a future king marrying a woman whose adultery with Charles helped bring about the breakdown of the marriage with Diana. February 1981. Charles and Diana faced the cameras for their engagement. I noticed Diana's response to the interviewer. I'm surprised she's being brave enough to accept me. In love with me. February 2005. Another engagement with another English blonde. Surprisingly, her words echo Diana's. Of course. Camilla is reluctant. being compared to Diana for her extraordinary attractiveness so far Camilla has adopted only a limited charity profile she will never be someone who takes on a lot of royal duties someone who constantly appears in the newspapers will anyway try to be someone who is in the background simply supporting her husband and getting along very quietly being a member of the royal family.

She is clearly someone who fits Char very well. People who know her say that she is very good at putting them at ease. She is a very strong and stable person. andI think Charles is someone who needs constant reassurance that his personal life is a mess and that's what threatens the monarchy. Camilla will be in the royal carriage parade at the Ascot races each summer. She has to be seen as part of the family so she is accepted as princess consort when Charles is king. For the time being, the Duchess of Cornwall will be the second lady on earth Princess of Wales in all but name and could still become queen.

With Carlos and Camilla, we're in new territory, guys. Those who actually had to organize this have no precedent to refer to, there is no rule book, so they have to make it up as they go along. Prince Charles obviously believes he could ascend to the throne with Camilla. Next to him, whether she is called princess consul or queen is quite irrelevant. I think the rule is that the king's wife is automatically the queen, so in his eyes this is quite feasible, we will wait and see if the public jury opinion will actually come out in his favor it is a very complicated path for the Prince of Wales has put his reputation on the line with this marriage, we will have to see if the same prince can get away with another wife, a second fairy tale based on scandals and tragedies.

This cannot be sold as a romantic storybook. The question now is: can the monarchy survive King Charles and Queen Camilla?
