When I saw that comment from Charles I laughed as it was simply so true -they have been practicing for years.
It came across as a loving father having a bit of a joke at the expense of his son and fiancee.
totally agree.
for most people who doesn't know the whole wills-kate story, that sentence maybe shock them, but for me, and most of the royal watchers, it was something that everyone wanted and wished. my first reaction was: "yessss, finally!!!!"
yes, he said something that everybody knew, but at the same time, that humanizes charles, and show him as a father than a cp.
i think this diana-charles-camilla thing made people forget his work as a cp, and just saw him as the man who cheated on "the people's princess". he is human, like everybody, a no-perfect being, and everybody forgets that just because he is a member of a royal family and, without exception, all people think that he can't make mistakes.
i'm not defending him, in fact, i don't like him much, but what people has to think is that the important thing is
his work as the cp of great britain, and how he is representing the royal house...ok, he made a mistake, but now, that he married camilla, it's time to turn the page and see what he's doing as the cp, his charities, funds, and his diplomatic work in other countries. and yes, how camilla complements charles' work, that's the important thing, if everybody wants the continuity of the british dinasty...
