James Whitaker - Camilla
WHY I STILL HAVEN'T LEARNED TO LOVE CAMILLA By James Whitaker
I AM not totally against the Duchess of Cornwall. She has put a genuine smile back on to the face of Prince Charles.
But it's very hard for me - and, I suspect, for millions of others - to believe she's as much the answer to our prayers as she is to her husband's. She and Charles carry far too much baggage ...
As we approach their first wedding anniversary, there is a growing propulsion to make us love and accept them. Well, I don't and I can't - yet.
There are those who are prepared to forgive, if not forget, what these two got up to, and who increasingly tell us that as a nation we are "warming" to Camilla.
Really? They don't convince me.

And if she can make just one of those self important toadies feel uncomfortable, then more power to her elbow!
I have to agree with James on this one, Camilla seems a game women and has made Charlie a far happy chappy than he used to be. It is CharlesI have a problem with, he is spoiled rotten and wants his cake and eat it. The throne
should pass to William who has lived in the real world and doesn't need a valet to hold hi xiss pot
Charles has put this woman before his sons and many feel that is inexcusable.
The Camilla and Charles marriage is something I do not believe Diana would have been able to accept. Also the fact that they (the palace/advisors) use the Princes William and Harry to win over the public sticks in my throat!! The Royal Family seem to be determined to airbrush Diana from history (and they are doing a wonderful job of that) We have heard so many ghastly stories about her and she cannot defend herself and her boys seem to be happy to accept the situation and never defend her or hardly mention her at all but we are ALL told how they love Camilla "to bits!!" Even on their offical interviews (graduation from University, birthdays etc) she is hardly mentioned and I think that is dreadful as she adored her boys. If Charles and Camilla had met up after Diana's death I would be OK with that and wish them well but they both drove a very young woman (with very little life experience) nearly stark raving mad with their selfish behaviour and I blame BOTH of them. How many women out there could happily accept the fact that their ex-husbands have married their long term mistresses who helped break their marriage up!!
Totally. They really used the boys and their so called acceptance of it all as their wedding marketing to win over the public, it was cruel and selfish. My father had affairs all our life and I wont even speak to the women on the phone whennthey call up- let alone meet them- let alone be forecd to give my praise and attend their wedding! I know how hard it must have been for the boys- especially when the foul sex tape of Charles and this old bat was published for the world to see... He just thinks of himself and Camilla.
I 100% totally agree with you. I am sick and tired of hearing now what a wonderful person she is and that the public are beginning to accept her. If he is so in love with her why didn't he marry her all those years ago when they were younger then another woman's life would not have been ruined!
He didn't marry her because he got shunted off to sea because he was serving in the Royal Navy at the time. Camilla didn't particularly want to be Princess of Wales at that time either. Unfortunately, while Charles was away, she fell in love with Andrew Parker-Bowles and married him instead. Maybe that was a mistake, but these things happen.
Charles was forced by his family and his position into marriage with a very inexperienced young and needy woman, with loads of problems of her own. No one should get it into their heads that Diana was a saint, and while Charles was only sh**ging Camilla, she was sh**ging at least a dozen men over a period of time.
Time's passed. Diana's dead.
I'm not a fan of the royals, but surely no one would wish deliberate unhappiness on Charles and Camilla.
Diana is dead- but her boys are still here and they are far more important that Charles and his needs.
They are young men embarking on Army careers and will probably be sent off to Iraq at sometime in the future. They're not young boys who've lost their mother anymore.
They appear happy with Camilla, so who should criticise?
They were young boys when their mother died, which would have had a profound effect on them, and they have lived almost ten years without her. Even if they are adults, they live with the knowledge their mother will never see them marry, and that she will never be a grandmother to any children they may have. How do we really know how they feel about Camilla, they're hardly going to tell us, are they?
I think that it way past the time for people to stop attributing feelings to people they don't know and are never going to know. Diana wasn't a saint, no matter how much people try to portray her as such. I never understand why people continue to take sides in a relationship that had nothing to do with them. The only relationship you can justifiably take sides in is your own.
I really don't understand why the press can't let Diana rest in peace. Haven't we all suffered enough?
And I'm tired of people whinging on that Diana wasn't a saint - I don't recall anyone saying that she was. She certainly seemed a much nicer person than the spoilt, petulant, unpleasant Charles and Camilla.
She does look like a horse though, Charlie's well matched with her.
