Too bad he didn't have the balls to just marry the woman he wanted to marry in the first place.

From what I can tell, he and the Queen Mum had some knock out fights about the issue, he would have had to abdicate.

Well, that still would have taken some balls.

And a certain integrity.

Kind of like the Duke of Windsor, his great uncle, the reason Elizabeth is now queen. Then Andrew would have been king! Personally, I'm on team Diana. She was a young girl, and I think she truly believed in the fairy tale. I think reality took over, and any misdeeds on her part were the result of her disillusionment.

I don't think Prince Charles is an idiot. I think he was a man deprived of the woman he loved and made to marry someone he didn't. I have no doubt that it was common practice to have a mistress and even encouraged. His great grandfather did and his great great grandfather did. Thank goodness the laws changed and he was able to marry who he wanted in the end. Not sure Diana cared much for her husband or the royal family. Her lifestyle contributed to much embarrassment and I believe her death. Regardless of any press article, William loves his father as he did his mother and I am sure Charles will be a part of George's life being he is third in line to the throne.

I actually like Prince Charles, he was able to extract himself from that awful marriage and go on with this life.......

Too bad he didn't have the balls to just marry the woman he wanted to marry in the first place.

The Royal Family were not able to marry someone who is divorced and the spouse still living. King Edward VIII abdicated the throne to marry Wallace Simpson because of this law. It has nothing to do with "balls" but rather duty. When the law changed he was able to marry the woman Charles loved.

No, I don't believe it is integrity to abdicate a throne. I believe it is a lack of integrity mixed with shame.

LOL! When the little prince starts learning about his paternal family's history, Grandpa Charles' sins are pretty insignificant by comparison. At least he didn't have anyone beheaded.{#emotions_dlg.lol}

Re: PRINCE CHARLES IS BEING CUT OUT OF PRINCE GEORGE'S LIFE

I'll take this story with a huge grain of salt. Yes, William and Kate have done things a bit differently. Yes, they spend a lot of time with her family.

But I seriously doubt the fact that Charles had an affair has any bearing on this. Both William and Harry seemed quite happy at their father's marriage to Camilla. You can see them both smiling in the pictures. And not just polite smiles. They both seem to like Camilla.

I don't think there's any way to know if Harry and William really like Camilla .... or their opinion of their marriage. They just smile and do the royal puppet thing when they are in public.

I always wondered how they glossed over his behavior with their mother.

Don't forget that Diana each technically cheated first, and she was an emotional wreck. She was provided with assistants and helpers, and she chose to ignore their advice. In many ways, she was her own worst enemy. The Vanity Fair expose covered a lot of this.

Hush your mouth. Around here she is St. Diana.
