Re: Royal Anniversary

I think Charles is a spoilt, self-indulgent, man who has never really grown up. He is in a position of great privilege, but feels free to moan about how he was unhappy at school, and how he was prevented from doing what he wanted by his position. Ah, but he was determined to hang on to that position, wasn't he. I had great sympathy for Diana, the poor girl simply believed her own publicity, the fairy-tale romance, etc. She was a human sacrifice, offered up by both grandmothers (Ruth, Lady Fermoy and the QM), who cooked the whole thing up. I do also feel rather sorry for Andrew Parker-Bowles, who had to put up with everyone knowing who his wife was knocking off - as one friend put it "Greater love hath no man than that he lays down his wife for his country"!!!
