I'm just saying this was the name she had on the invitation. Also, as to why a divorced woman might keep her previous huband's name is if she had children with him, as did Camilla, who have that last name (much simpler when dealing with schools, doctors etc). Also, Jo made the analogy to Jacqueline B.K.O. I live in NYC area as did 'Jackie'. The papers,magazines, etc almost invariably discribed her as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Just be glad they dont call her Camilla Rosemary Shand Parker-Bowles Mountbatten-Windsor Princess, Duchess, etc. You could die of old age trying to get it all out!:flowers:
Much more sense for the children to have the fathers surname and the woman to keep her own! :D All of my children have their fathers surname, just not the same father and I have not had any problems with schools, doctors or anything else. :flowers:
 
And as Charles is not Charles Parker Bowles and The Duchess of Cornwall was not born Miss Parker Bowles, it is impossible for Charles to be married to Camilla Parker Bowles.

I know women who have chosen to keep the name of a previous (living) husband after they get married again. It's usually because they want to keep the name of their children.

I don't think Camilla did, though.
 
Or for example, I have friends/relatives who were sucessful professionally/famous or wellknown for what ever reason and chose to keep the name. But, most often, it' s that they have children with that surname. We have had conversations in the past about how Camilla and Andrew's daughter in law Sarah chose to keep her maiden name and people (some of the same) were very offended when I suggested that she might want to keep her own family name. To each his/her own, dont you think?:flowers:

You're right, as long as it is the person him/herself to get to make this choice. What we are discussing here is that while the former Camilla Shand took on her husband's name after each wedding, she still is called by some by a somewhat notorious name. Now that is unnecessary, don't you think? :flowers:
 
We now have something like 17 posts arguing about Camilla's pre-DOC surname.
Could we return to the thread topic please. :)

Re: this question

I personally feel very uncomfortable with the idea of the Prince of Wales becoming the king (though it is the office which we all should admire) that my opinion re: this couple has never really changed.

It is a hereditary office, thus it's better not to think about the person who will inherit but about the symbol he is going to be. And IMHO The Prince of Wales already is in his role as the prince an admirable symbol for the monarchy. That the way he has conducted his private life may not be what all of his future subjects condone is one thing - but as The Prince of Wales he surely is a success. :flowers:
 
Considering the moral integrity of many royal males Charles fits right in. The rich and powerful simply have other ideas about morality.

Do you mean the moral integrity of the 66.6% of couples that get divorced because they are unhappy within their marriage? Being rich and famous seems to have very little to do with it, the difference is that theirs are the divorces, separations, affairs that make the headlines.:rolleyes:

That's not necessarily true. I know poor people who haven't any scruples at all! It depends on the person.

I am not sure if this thread is the correct one but this lady in Germany suggested that I should put what I was saying re: the Prince of Wales elsewhere that I decided to settle down here.

Anyway, what was I talking about ? I am sure it was to do with the Prince of Wales and his wife and the prince's affair re: his letters to the MPs etc.

Well, the Prince of Wales wrote to those people because he was not so happy with the fact that the fox hunting was going to be banned etc which, to his mind, the rural life of England would be ruined etc. However, the natural fact is that those rural parts which he is on about are sort of places like those picturesque Gloucestershire/Wiltshire sort of places but not anywhere like those former mining communities of North East or some parts of Derbyshire countryside etc where the Countryside Alliance people have very little interest of their own. People in such areas do not feel that the Prince of Wales represents them but those who are the members of the Countryside Alliance sort strongly feel that he represents them, thus he speaks on behalf of the entire countrysides. Like those who benefit from such activities as this fox hunting, the Prince of Wales, too, is a farmer gentleman and his world is terribly limited within that particular circle, that is how I feel.

It is just like in the case of that infamous La Amistad. The US president who was more concerned about his people in the southern states that supported slavery supported the Spanish claim to return those unfortunate Africans to Cuba (so that they can be sold to the plantaions etc). However, the judge who was dealing the case gave a verdict that both the president and the Queen of Spain were in wrong and allowed the freedom of the African captives. I am sure those plantation owners in the southern states must have felt all those in New York, Boston etc didn't really understand the life of southern states where the slavery dependant economy was a part of their life etc and the slavery economy was indeed their rural tradition etc.

So, to many people who are nothing to do with this Countryside Alliance sort of thing, this fox hunting is wrong but the prince likes it that he supports it and wants our government to change its policy etc. If the prince is really allowed to have his say in whatever he believes as a person whose life is financed publically (though some may argue that he and his family are finaced by the income generated from the Duchy of Cornwall etc but that is a tax free asset - this man is exempt from tax for his own income but still wants to say these things that concern his own interests when people who are on state benefit for genuin reasons may be told off as some sort of scavengers etc that they should not be allowed to vote etc) then, he should renounce his status and become a British registered voter.

I admire the Crown because our Crown reigns but not governs and the Prince of Wales is a part of it that if his mother can keep her mouth shut and keep her private thoughts to herself, so should he do the same.

[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Prince Charles' right to take an interest in politics has come under scrutiny, after his letter writing campaign to government ministers sparked a political row. [/FONT]

[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']How much does he really know about the subjects he is so opiniated about? And what he does know he only knows from a prince's world. He dosen't actually live in the real world does he? He may think he does. I read with interest the article in the gardening section about Prince Charles and his passion for all things organic.
I did visit Highgrove Farm a few years ago as part of a farming group visit. I am not a farmer but I am interested in all things organic and I do have a Veggie patch, for what that’s worth. Our guide took us around the farm including the field of vegetables and the fields of grain. Being a townie I wouldn’t know my barley from my wheat from my oats but I listened and looked. The farmers looked at the number of pests or lack of them in the fields of whatever it was. They were interested in the success rate and the viability of it. I was probably more interested in seeing if I could spot a Royal.
There was a question time and what I found enlightening was the difference between the farmers and Prince Charles. The balance sheet sets them apart. From what I can recall Highgrove may have been organic, but the actual farm had not had a profit for the last 15 years. And then, it was only after he had lowered his own rent on his own farm could he then show a profit.
Can you imagine LLoyds, Barclays etc entertaining the idea that farmers don’t make a profit for 15 years while they go organic. I don’t think so.
I would like to see another article showing the balance sheet over the last 20 years of how this could have been achieved had he been your average farmer and not the prince.

[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Prince Charles has every right to say what he thinks, but just because he says it and gives his opinion does not mean that he is right. It is a pity that if he makes a statment i.e. the Big Mac issue, he could not be debated by ordinary people as to why he feels he should make such a statement. The wrong thing is that when he makes a statement, be it slightly poltical or about any other
controversial subject, it is all over the media and you never actually hear of him conversing with anyone about the subject in an open argument, or interviewed by anyone on the televison about why he has those thoughts.
It is unfortunate that if he makes remarks like an ordinary citizen he is not treated in the same way. I think it is a shame, he obviously would like to join in open debate on so many of his pet subjects but is not allowed to.

[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']For fifty four years the Queen has been a model of propriety as a constitutional monarch, both in the UK and in her Commonwealth realms. For the last thirty years and more, though, the Prince of Wales has behaved as though he were running for office, a trait indicative of a certain disconnect between himself and the office for which heredity has destined him. I must admit, though, that my own appraisal of him is quite jaundiced: among his achievements, on his marriage to his former mistress, is the feat of converting myself, a lifelong royalist, into either a republican sympathiser or one who would no longer publicly raise his voice in support of the Canadian Crown under which I live. As you raise the issue of the Prince's political involvement, permit me to lament his latest cause of offence to such of his future subjects who still profess the Christian Faith: given Camilla's acceptance of expensive jewellery from the Saudi royal family, brutal suppressors and persecutors of the Christian religion, indeed shedders of Christian convert blood in their realm, does the Prince propose to sell these costly items and donate the proceeds to the support of the members of Christ's mystical body harassed and slain by his Saudi buddies? ...From this would-be "Defender of the Faith", Good Lord deliver us![/FONT]

1. Fox Hunting was and is rife in Derbyshire, The Duke of Devonshire is an ardent supporter. There are very many people in the North who hunt and not all live in the countryside. Hunts In The North East Of England
There are many people who are born and bred country folk, who are totally opposed to Fox Hunting as there are many who live in towns and cities who support it.
........If the prince is really allowed to have his say in whatever he believes as a person whose life is financed publically (though some may argue that he and his family are finaced by the income generated from the Duchy of Cornwall etc but that is a tax free asset - this man is exempt from tax for his own income but still wants to say these things that concern his own interests when people who are on state benefit for genuin reasons may be told off as some sort of scavengers etc that they should not be allowed to vote etc) then, he should renounce his status and become a British registered voter.
I am puzzled by your comment that certain people on benefits will be unable to vote as I have heard nothing remotely suggesting this, do you have a link to corroborate this statement? Although the benefits system is far from perfect, IMO, I would think it is as rare as Rocking Horse Droppings for a genuine client to be refused benefit, especially as benefit fraudsters have cost the country millions.

Charles does pay Tax on his personal income and of course The Duchy also pays Tax.

Well, I know that the Duke of Devonshire is a pro-hunting and his mother used to say something like she would get imprisoned if this fox hunting ban became the law etc. Now the Dowager Duchess seems to be enjoying her retirement in her lovely home not too far from the Chatsworth House. Maybe, she is a bit too old to run around or for getting imprisoned.

However such parts as Chatsworth, Tissington etc in Derbyshire are very well-off communities that are owned by people who support such activities as this fox hunting whereas people who live in such places as Tibshelf, Morton etc are maily working class people whose lives are so remote from the comfort of those who have so many houses to live here and there. Yet, the Prince of Wales does not particularly represent the uncertainty, worries and concerns of those people but those Countryside Alliance sort of people say that the prince represents the interst of people of the countryside etc etc which is not 100% true. I will understand if the prince does raise such problems as increased drug problems etc in such areas as well as those elderly people who are so isolated in such communities as well as those very small holding farmers who are not at all keen on the fox hunting etc but he seems to be interested in the voice of those people who are angry about the fact that they can no longer hunt freely.

Many people whom I come across who are on some froms of the state benefits (not those who claim the benefits willy-nelly) do tell me that they feel as though they are always looked down on by others or even been told that they are scavengers etc. (I have such opportunities to meet such people from time to time.) I know this in fact that some of those people with whom my husband and I mix through our social network etc at times talk about people who are on benefits in this way as if they are all bogus etc etc. Even one of Anglican priests whom I know said to me something like that - I was so shocked as you can imagine.

I do admire our monarchy and truly hope that no republican ideology such as that of Tony Benn sort will take over this country nor the BNP sorts who seem to manipulate people who are so poor. So, when I see the Prince of Wales who is not that popular anyway makes this sort of noise, I do feel so let down, worry and become sad.
 
Well, it sounds as though since 1993 the prince started paying the income tax for his income though it is really a tax free asset etc. However, people are now increasingly becoming curious to know what they pay and what they don't etc etc. Living has become so expensive and some people even comitted suiside after the 9/11 etc. It is natural to think how they are managing to be so well off etc, (well apart from the Queen going to the Claridge's etc within her official capacity etc.)

Oh, I am sure you understand that I wasn't talking about the Duchy Originals. I do buy the products of the Duchy Originals mainly from the Waitrose because, apart from their biscuits, ham and sausages are lovely the profit will go to a good cause as much as the OXFAM's profit goes into good causes etc etc. We quite often use the Duchy Original items as well as the Fortnum's hampers for the raffle prizes etc for some other charities we organise, too.

Not every village or town has it's own hunt but many from these villages are members of hunts elsewhere. I know quite a few people from Sheffield, Buxton, and surrounding areas who are members of a hunt. Quite a few members of the hunts are from working class background, it might help you to read the blurb from The Countryside Alliance where they state this. Personally I am 100% behind the ban. The only thing the CA truly concerns itself with is hunting, whether it is Fox Hunting, Hare Coursing (definitely a working mans 'sport'), Shooting, Fishing, certainly not the day to day concerns of ordinary people, whereas Charles concerns himself with helping disadvantaged youth, farming communities and a variety in between. He personally donated funds to the flood hit regions.

It is not a Tax Free Asset as the Duchy pays corporate tax, employment tax, VAT etc. Charles pays tax on all his income. Charles discloses, in full his accounts every year.
 
I like Camilla a bit more now that I see how happy Charles is. He's a lot more centered, for lack of a better word. She looks more confident. They seem happy together, and that's a good thing. I don't like the circumstances that they found themselves in, but I don't feel I can judge them for what happened in their lives, as I'm not them.

I have to agree that Charles seems more content. They do seem happy together. I have a hard time though not with their beginning but there middle for lack of a better term. Charles is supposed to at some point be the head of the Anglican church and its unseemly to me that a man who cheated on his spouse is going to be the head. He's supposed to set an example and that's what bothers me.

As for Camilla, she seems like a nice enough person. I just hope they stick to the idea of Princess Consort.
 
Warren, you're right. And at least they don't call her that spiteful "mistress" anymore.:flowers:
Here's what I dont understand....She WAS his mistress for many, many,many years. ..why is it, to refer to her in those days is offensive? I mean, if s/he didnt mind doing it, why should they mind it being referred to that way? Do you object to 'former-mistress'? Why do you consider the truth to be 'spiteful'? Look, they are married now, but is it really necessary to pretend that the past, especially so extensively chronicled, does not exist? The truth is the truth. By whitewashing the past, credibility in the present is lost.

Men who have done a lot worse have been the head of the Anglican church, and like Charles, they too were merely mortal men who stumble. The basic tenets of our faith (denomination - Anglican), demands that we learn forgiveness, which is often hard personally, but this is not personal, it is vicarious living. Charles is next in line to be head of the Anglican church, not to being canonised as a Saint!

Whatever a person's sins, they are between him/her and God. Nowhere in the Anglican church are we taught to judge and demand public obesience from those whom we deem to be "sinners".

I wonder if we are any less moral than our forefathers? Is it not just that every public stumble is flashed instantly around the world and we can invest ourselves in the lives of others instead of ourselves. The spec in another's eye rather than the log in our own? Or how about "Judge not lest ye be Judged"!

Charles an Camilla are now husband and wife, more than that, they are a happy couple. Is it not time that we, like them, get over ourselves and move on?

I smile whenever I see them on the screen. They look at each other with love and are often filmed laughing and enjoying life. In short, they seem to complete each other. My Crown Prince is now seen to be a happy man and that makes me glad. As C.S. Lewis wrote, faith and morality together with joy, "is the serious business of Heaven."
 
Charles is supposed to at some point be the head of the Anglican church and its unseemly to me that a man who cheated on his spouse is going to be the head.

It's very seemly to me. Have you ever looked at a history of the church? Charles could have chopped Diana's head off and he'd still be in form. Of course, Mohammed Al Fayed would have us believing he did.

As you say. it's no problem to state that in 2004 Camilla Parker Bowles was Charles' mistress. It is spiteful, though, to say, as they do on other forums, that Charles and his mistress spend a holiday in the Caribbean, conveniently forgetting that Charles married her as for those Diana-addictives Charles can never be rightfully married to anyone else but Diana. And I'm glad this usage of the word has ended in the media at least.

Does the Anglican Church also teach, 'thou shalt not kill', which as head of the armed forces HM does (not literally) on a regular basis and she is head of the church, is she not?

The teachings that many seem to forget is not only forgiveness but 'let him who is without sin cast the first stone'!

Many on this forum, or so it seems, state that they have nothing against Camilla but don't want her to become Queen. Surely if they don't want her to become Queen, they have something against her. :whistling:

I wonder why it is considered OK to refer to Camilla as Charles mistress, but nobody refers to Diana as Mannakees mistress, or Gilbeys mistress or Hoares, or Hewitts, or ............ :D

I think it has to do with who has the higher status in the relationship. So of course the Prince of Wales had a mistress and the Princess had lovers. But you're right, of course Diana was the mistress of her lovers. :flowers:

Yes, we must not judge the Prince of Wales for his extra-marital affair when he was still married to Diana but those who truly follow Our Lord must pray for the healing power of the Almighty be upon those who are affected by this sort of sadness etc.

However, the Queen is not the head of the Anglican Church (or the Anglican Communion world wide) but she is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England. If my memory is correct, Henry VIII was the Supreme Head of the Church of England on earth but his daughter Elizabeth I sort of modified it to the Supreme Governor of the Church of England. Henry indeed was the head of it that he had every power to decide what sort of a prayer book should be employed for the liturgy of his church and insisted on the church to continue to use Latin when celebrating "mass" etc. It seems as though he only replaced the temporal as well as the spiritual authority of the Bishop of Rome (aka the Pope) over the affairs of the Church of Engalnd with his own. However, Elizabeth I sort of allowed the Church's independence from her own authority more and gradually the English monarch's role in the affairs of the Church of England became more nominal. Now we even have the General Synod though any matters such as the introduction of a new prayer book etc must be passed by the parlaiment still today.

The Anglican Church in New Zealand is called the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia which is led by the Archbishop of New Zealand and the Queen of New Zealand is not the head of it nor the Supreme Governor of it nor the Defender of the Faith of it, I am sure. The Archbishop of Cabterbury presides the Anglican Commuion world wide but he is not, as in the case of the Bishop of Rome a.k.a. the Pope or the Holy Father in Rome, he does not hold the supreme jurisdiction over other churches that are in communion with the See of Canterbury because within the Anglican Communion each province is independent and autonomous (very similar to the Eastern Churches but not the same) over its jurisdiction matters.

Talking about the Prince of Wales, he has said that he would rather become the Defender of Faith as in all faiths than just of the faith of the Church of England which the Archbishop of Canterbury (the current one) rejected.

This idea of the prince obviously causes more disputes. If the English monarch is not the Defender of the Faith (the title of which was conffered to the English monach by the parlaiment) any longer, then, will s/he be the Supreme Governor of the Church of England ? If not and s/he can be a member of any church or a religious denomination or no religion at all etc etc, then, do we have to keep this family as the dynasty of the English monarch ? How about the Jacobite king - I think, if my memory is correct, somebody was telling me that the Duke of Bavaria or somebody would have been the King of England who is Roman Catholic - ?

Well, I only admire the office of king and it's a bonus in a way if the person who holds it is worthy to be respected etc but there are many people who are legally, constitutionally or historically aware of these matters around in this world that if the prince says this sort of thing, then, people start thinking and wondering or even questioning things.

I agree with both of you, Jo and Skydragon. I always thought her death would, unfairly, spare her from any prejudices. However, I'm pleased to see that the Inquest and the numerous revelations we gathered from it, gave her a more human and truthful face than the saint aura people administered her for the past 10 years. Charles suffered from his affair with Camilla and Diana was being troubled by her own affairs during 97' summer. Then she died and all her reckless adventures unfortunately vanished from people's mind. I think whether you consider her as the lover of Hewitt, Hoare, Gilbey, ... :)biggrin:) or not depends on the perception you have of her and your willingness to admit the truth. For myself, I can't see why it would be right to dismiss them from her life. Nor Camilla from Charles's. If it's normal for you to accept that Charles had a mistress then you should consider the fact that Diana also had her lovers. And vice versa.

It is not my desire or anything to dispute nor that people should think that I am a Diana fanatic or anything of that sort because I am not a great fan of Diana or the Prince of Wales nor the Duchess of Cornwall.

However, I understood that Camilla Parker-Bowles was refered as the Prince's "mistress" because he was still married then and the Princess of Wales took her lovers who were happened to be un-married or something - Am I right in thinking so ?

I'm afraid you may be wrong.:D
Mannakee, Hoare as well as Carling were all married when they had their affair with Diana.:flowers:
So they should be considered at the same level as Camilla and Diana was undeniably their mistress.
