Camilla was not a Duchess at the time and of course, she only committed adultery with the man she has now married, the same cannot be said of Sarah.
However, I was not talking about Sarahs adultery when I wrote my post, just an observation on human nature and unlike many on here, I do not see adultery as a 'sin', just the breakdown of a relationship, but one that people can pass through with dignity and discretion. The suggestion of waiting till the divorce is finalised is all very well, divorce can take time, especially if one of the couple doesn't consent (5 years + court time), you are a long time dead.It may be one of the reasons a person cites as the cause of the breakdown of their relationship but there is no law against it.
That is not a problem. Humans also need to love and be loved, to have companionship Most animals deprived of these things fail to prosper.
Let's not concentrate only on the adultery. My point was that she didn't commit adultery because she did not love her husband anymore, but because she was unhappy with her situation - and this maily because of the fact that she had married the "poor" son of the queen. Thus she consorted with men who could help her financially, accepted the divorce and started to sell her "fame" as a former HRH to the customers of Weight Watchers. If you compare this to Sophie Wessex, who as well tried in the beginning to use her Royal connections but accepted that this couldn't go on for the sake of her new family - then I must say Sarah was a failure. Plus she brought her children into it: holidays with her boyfriend, parties with convicted gangsters, Marihuana-trips to the Caribbean, accepting a convicted boyfriend for Beatrice who started to talk about them to the media afterwards, allowing Beatrice's boyfriend to watch private performances where Sarah made fun of the queen and the institution of the monarchy... And all that should be overlooked because she attends charity balls for poor children or accepts money for being a "keynote" speaker at charity conferences?
Of course, Sarah has her good sides, but these don't outweigh what she has done. She of course is not evil incarnate but she is not a laudable lady either.
Btw, adultery is adutery. Camilla was married while having a liaison with Charles so she is just as guilty of adultery as Sarah. Remember, the question is, "Have you slept with a man other than your husband?" and the answer is "yes" for both women. The question is not how many men have you slept with! If you can't forgive Sarah, you shouldn't forgive Camilla either. Otherwise, it is double standards.
This is bashing! It is has nothing to do with Sarah's current events. You are simply rehashing past events to belittle Sarah and make her appear unworthy in the eyes of other members who don't know her. This is exactly why some posters don't visit this thread anymore. They are sick and tired of this vendetta against Sarah.

I can't understand why. Sarah was at the time of her affairs a member of the Royal Family, had she just been Sarah Z, it wouldn't have mattered. had she only had the one affair and then married the chap, that wouldn't have been so bad, but she didn't. She had more than one affair and stayed with none of them, therefore it was only for 'a bit of fun', the me, me, me syndrome where nothing and no one else matters.I'm having a really hard time wrapping my brain around the justification that Sarah can be condemned for adultery because of x, y & z, but the same rules fail to apply to Charles and Camilla. By the same token, I could say that Sarah didn't commit adultery with the Prince of Wales.
In that, I believe you are wrong. The fact that your husband/wife is having an affair is bad enough, but to have it broadcast to the world, or at the least your friends and family is the worst thing, I would imagine. Discretion doesn't soothe the hurt but it makes the pain less and the recovery easier.I don't see adultery as a sin either. I do see it as a gross violation of trust. All the discretion in the world doesn't soothe that hurt.

Who asks such a question, certainly not the divorce court. The question is 'how many', that is why hookers, prostitutes whatever you want to call them, are despised, as are gold diggers.Remember, the question is, "Have you slept with a man other than your husband?" and the answer is "yes" for both women.
