just a small point (and I ain't no royal, expert, mind) but when you refer to the
Quenn Mother, you are presumably referring to Charles mother, Queen
Elizabeth ?
On this side of the pond, the Queen Mother is more commonly known as Queen Elizabeths mother (she died two years ago, aged 100).
But I take your point, William might well get the job before his father.
The weekend papers had Charles saying that the British people were being unfair to Camilla.
He said that they don't give her a chance.
What are the people supposed to say/do ?

Could be that marrying Camilla is his way out of the throne. He knows what the public think of him, knows they don't want him to be king, probably doesn't want it himself badly enough anymore... he might be planning to say that his marriage prevents him from becoming king so it looks like he chose love over the throne rather than just admitting he'd suck at being king.
The whole point of the royals is the tourism money they bring in to the country - Harry would bring in more than Charles would.

I agree - they're great for British Tourism.
And you could well be right - he may realise that he has no real future as king and has decided to try to act in his own interests.

Saw Prince Charles once in San Francisco many years ago and that was from a distance. (I was several stories up in an Embarcadaro building and he was just coming out of the BART have just been given the grand tour of San Francisco's new [at that time] subway system.) The one thing that we all commented on was that he stood out in a crowd. There was something about him. His clothes looked better; the red flower in his lapel looked brighter; we couldn't put our fingers on it. It was just everyone else looked drab next to him.
i have no doubt that they are great for the tourist industry...but what do people in this day and age think...>>>? 'oh, we'll just pop over to the UK to see the Queen and prince Charlie'.limerickman said:
do they expect to get invited to tea?
yeah, i read that...imagine getting knighted just because your flaming rich...some guys have all the luck...zapper said:Well Bill Gates got knighted...Come to think of it..he kind of looks like camilla...
he must have passed the points test...
in Aus they throw women in prison just because they are ugly...(prisoner cell H), ugliness is a crime there just as passing a friends house in Scotland and not popping in for a bevvy and a curry...(FRED)
The Uk is the same...but instead of imprisoning them we used to export them to the colonies. Aus would recieve them and imprison them and Yankshire would simple let them roam free to ingerate with the bears and moose. Thats why the burds there are so rough.zapper said:
Now times have changed we just try and marry them off to the royalty...(you didnt think big Chick had a say in this did you?)
Am I to take it that in addition to being a “world renown cycling dynamo”, Lance Armstrong’s acupuncturist, Chief Justice, world economist and U.N. Inspector and king of nostalgic television....Lim is also an old washed up “one hit wonder” rock star???? :confusedFredC said:
