I hope things go well for them... but It is really hard for me to see them together and Happy and to thin about our Princess Dianna.
 
It is really bizarre I am reading this now because today I met someone from England on my job and we had a discussion about the wedding and Charles' suitability for kingship. She came out and BLASTED Charles and wished they would skip over him for William!! I reminded her of the dirty "A" word from 1936 and that won't happen. But she is right, William is the hope of the future!!

Wills is the future, you are right!. I hope that when he reings (if he does) he will do the best for Great Britain.

I agree, it´s hard to see thenm happy, smiling ( i wish them hapiness, but...). Really, i can´t image camilla as a Queen. A lot of people said that with the wed "the love won", but for me "the adultery won"

Why do you think that Camilla is more suitable for Charles than Diana ?
 
Me too. Although I wish things turned out totally different, it is nice to see Charles happy and for him to have a woman at his side. Marriage (b/t a man and a woman) is always a good thing. However, as I said b/f, adultery is not good and one should not have to commit adultery in order to get married. I want to remember these two as being happy with each other, but I do not want to remember them as king and queen.

Camilla was never suitable for Charles in the beginning, that is a large part of the reason why she was his mistress and not his wife.

Of course years later society has changed, and Charles' former wife died so the mistress is now the wife.
 
Their side of the story...

I wonder how will and harry feel about charles and camilla marrying... I know that they are very fond of camilla but I dont now how they feel as her being their stepmum. I am sure they just want Charles to be happy but I am sure they feel some sort of unhappiness no matter what they let people think. I know I would if my father married the woman who he cheated on my mum with. I would feel a lot of resentment. But like I said they would want their father to be happy. I am finally happy that Charles finally decided to marry his life long love of his life. At least he loves her.
 
Well, Officially, the boys are said to be happy that their father is happy. However, it's been whispered that though William seemed to have accepted the situation, it's Harry that's been harboring a little, if not a lot, of apprehension and maybe negative feelings towards the matter. He's been said to have felt their mother's pain the deepest.
 
I think that Harry (and may be Wills) don´t feel so happy, altrhugh they show that.
Image that your father married his lover, when he was till married with your mum, while he was dating with her. It must be horrible. If that hapen to me I will be very angry and I will be the most I can do to stop the wed, I´ll argue with my father,and I´ll be sad. Just horrible. But that is my point of view may be they feel things different
 
If they didn't like Camilla they didn't need to seem so happy on Saturday. They could still have supported their father by turning up, waving and having smiles on their faces without showing joy at events.

They didn't need to be laughing and throwing confetti. They didn't need to decorate the car or chase it to be the last people to see it off, which it has been reported that they did.

I think they respect Camilla for making their father happy. I don't know if they like her but I think they do. I don't see this as lessoning their love for their mother at all. In the seven years since her death they have come to see Camilla as part of their father's life and have go to know her. Maybe they have come to like her - only they can tell us that and I don't think they are going to do so.
 
On the contrary, they knew that their expressions would be carefully watched so they could have acted for the cameras.So who really knows.

A few weeks ago when Charles infamously muttered his dislike for the paparrazzi when he thought no one was hearing asked William "what should we do?" and William said "just keep smiling".

I don't think we'll ever truly know how the boys really feel about Camilla.
 
William and Harry would remind of their beloved mother the Princess Diana many people will low-profiles of favorites Diana very much!

I agree, I don't think the public will ever truly know William and Harry's personal feelings, so all we have to go on are their public faces, and based on that they are happy and seem to have no qualms of spending time with Camilla or the fact that she married their father.

It seems to me, if people realize this, that maybe it's not so smart to try and discuss is all it leads to are arguments and hurt feelings.

From the time of their arrival for the civil wedding then during the entire church blessing then the few minutes on the steps of St. George's Chapel, William and Harry were smiling and laughing and having a jolly good time. As they are both not Oscar or BAFTA-winning actors, it would be pretty hard to have kept up such a facade of happiness. There had to have been at least one moment where that fake happiness cracked and with all the press there that day, someone was bound to have caught it. I have not even seen a single picture of a frown or a look of dismay of either of these boys, even if it was over some nuissance like their morning suits being uncomfortable.

Camilla and Charles have alot more things in common than Charles and Diana did.

As beautiful as Diana was, Charles and Diana as a couple never seemed right. She seemed too glamorous for him while he was into things she admitted publicly that she never liked or enjoyed, like polo, horses, the countryside, hunting. In Camilla Charles has someone who is truly a companion for him and he for her. They both enjoy the countryside, Camilla enjoys watching polo and watching Charles play polo.

I often think that if there had been no Diana and that Charles and Camilla had gotten married from the very beginning, Camilla and the Queen could've actually been good friends. Afterall they both enjoy the same pursuits and are both robust, country women. But with the stigma of being "the other woman" attached to her, no matter how the Queen truly feels about Camilla, even if she really does like Camilla deep down or the two women do share interests, the Queen will sadly never publicly acknowledge or admit how much she enjoys Camilla's company.
 
I was watching "The Queen's Castle" and made some caps of Charles and Camilla leaving for their honeymoon.
For our Canadian members, CBC Newsworld will be re-airing the entire documentary on May 21.
I personally havent had time to watch the entire show but will tape it on the 21st and also make more caps.

I doubt the boys are happy.
When my mother married her lover after divorcing my father I acted happy just to get through the day smoothly. 10 years later I'm still resentful and angry. Something like this is not easy to get over, its even worse when its public.
The only consolation may be that Camilla makes Charles happy but thats probably it.
 
Well he's married her now, he's got what he wanted, and to hell with the rest of us eh?
 
I don't buy the attitude of do what you want to make yourself happy regardless of how you got there.
