I just thought of something funny. When I read the O.P. and the subsequent posts, I was completely clueless as to what the true discussion was about. Trying to be a nice guy, I piped up and said “Um, excuse me, I’m not sure we should be talking about somebody’s family problems here”. (obviously not an exact quote). Then a couple of posters pointed out that we _weren’t_ talking about somebody’s family; we were talking about the British Royal Family. I thought, “well, O.K. then. That’s different.” What’s cracking me up now is that it _isn’t_ different. It _is_ a family. All these people were born into it. Now, I ain’t chastising y’all for gossiping, I just find it amusing that the same people who say the meanest things about the Windsors would most likely keep mum about when John Doe’s son from down the street eloped with the best man on his wedding night or whatever their local scandal is. Let’s just say I’m thanking God my blood’s red and I can be anonymous. ---

Personally, I hope that she **is** being a bitch about it. I hope that she’s refusing to go to the wedding because she hates Camilla and thinks that Charles is a stupid bint. I hope that whenever they have dinner together, she talks around Camilla entirely. And I hope that when she does her Christmas Address, she refuses to mention Camilla by name. Can you tell that I don’t like C & C Adultery Factory at all? 😃 ---

The Town Hall’s not good enough for Lizzy? It’s the town hall of the town your family took its current name from to stop sounding so darned German. OK it might not be as big as your weekend ‘pad’ but it’s still a decent enough place. ---

My very fave Dave album. Either that or The Man Who Sold the World. Or maybe Diamond Dogs. Outside chance it might be Aladdin Sane. ---

Liz made the right choice. The man had an affair for 33 years and we should CELEBRATE? How will the kids feel? The whole mess is takiness fromend to end. And 'Milla, if you’re the Prince’s Consort, get some fucking dental work done. I am a lowly peon and I pay trhough the NOSE for it. You can probably get a discount. To say nothignof thr dress. Or shoes. Or Jewelry, or catering or… Wwanker. Charles isn’t fit to wear a crown. William all the way. He shows his mom’s class, his father’s smarts, and is crafty (in a good way) to not involve himself isn too much more broo-ha-ha than any normal adolescent. Henry on the other hand…anyone remember Jimmy Carter’s brother? Didn’t he start his own beer? Inky ---

Couldn’t they have avoided the entire mess by simply starting a new church and imprisoning anyone who disagrees? After all, that’s how it’s traditionally done. ---

> [@A Monkey With a Gun](#): > > Let’s just say I’m thanking God my blood’s red and I can be anonymous. Even being well-liked, fairly non-controversial royalty has got to suck a lot of the time. Case in point, back in late 2003 our king was discovered to have bladder cancer. The papers and TV news shows shared intimate details of the operation he would need and kept us posted on his recovery. If something like that ever happens to me, I will thank any deities that will listen that four million people will not know when I start peeing on my own again :smack: As to the original topic at hand, well, if Charles and Camilla are okay with Mummy not showing up, it’s none of anyone else’s goddamn business. For that matter, if they’re not okay with her showing up and choose not to make a fuss about it, that would also be none of anyone else’s goddamn business. And all of this could have been avoided if they would have been allowed to marry thirty years ago, for pity’s sake. Admittedly, the William and Henry fans among us would have seen that as a great loss, but… ---

Queen Elizabeth II is, among other things, the head of the church. As such, attending (and consequently, condoning) civil marriage ceremonies puts her at a conflict of interest, does it not? I’m not sure that her reasons for not attending are personal. ---
