It seems the rumours about Charles name have been quashed

It was changed to Sandringham in 1988 I believe, before that it was Windsor, so they would have been changing it back.

They were not saying they are going to cancel it altogether were they?

Default Camilla has surprised me!
This is my first post here. I just had to jump in and say that I have been pleasantly suprised by Camilla. Everytime I have seen a photo of her or any footage of her she looks lovely. She seems like the perfect match for Charles. I really liked her hat for the Christmas Church Service too! As a big Diana fan I think I might be turning the corner (finally).

There is an error in this story. It states "The monarch chooses his or her name at the time of coronation". Which means that for about a year the Monarch is nameless? Obvioulsy not. The Monarch's name is announced at the Accession Council, held as soon as possible after the death of the previous Sovereign.

Another wecome to the Forums Leelot.
I have never thought that admiration for both Diana and Camilla was mutually exclusive; people can appreciate the positive qualities in both women. As time passes and we become more familiar with Camilla and get to "know" her a bit more I think we will see more of this.

You are better at spoof headlines, so how about some suggestions?

Charles and Camilla stayed long after the Royal Family left to meet the crowds. Camilla seemed very much at home - very relaxed and pleased to be meeting people.

Hi BeatrixFan!

Glad to see you're back.

I saw the news where Charles put down the rumours that he'll take another name as King. He seems to be breaking the Windsor silence when rumours come about.

Thanks Ysbel. Yes, I think that Charles has realised that the stony silence from the Palace doesn't help matters at all. It looks as if they have something to hide. At least we now know we'll have King Charles III - I wouldn't have liked him as George VII.

Actually the message that was put out indicated that no decison either way has been made.

From the portuguese magazine CARAS from this week. It talks about Charles being interrogated in Scotland Yard.

I think that should read he was questioned by Scotland Yard.
