The Spencers have a long history of red heads in their family, going right back to the seventeenth century and the Duchess of Marlborough, Sarah Churchill, as well as Diana's own sister Sarah.

Been resisting this thread all day .. thank goodness that despictable woman has seen fit to see sense and not attend the memorial to Princess Diane.. how could she possibly think that it would not incite strong feelings in the first place .. insensitive cow. I also think that Prince William/Harry are just a little too inexperienced to appreciate the implications, and had been persuaded by other bodies to invite her.

Seems a shame that this tribute is shrouded by controversy of the guests, e.g Bishop of London and many of her long term friends like Burrell (even though problems after her death, was supportive whilst she lived) have been ignored.

As for the rubbish about the paternity ... Diane did not meet this guy until Harry was two years old, and people are only seeing the red hair, putting 2 and 2 together and getting 105. Just wanting to see what they want and they think is juicy. To me, he does favour Charles with Diane's complexion (the blushing cheeks) but, oh dear, excuse me, Red Hair .. so can't be Charles's.

As he is second in line to the throne, feel sure has been established that he is not 'A Pretender' as would have to take on this role should anything happen to William. Could go on and on, but sure you have all glazed over already and only want to read selectively.

I'm with you on this Kate, I think she was badly hurt and now people are casting aspersions on her character, she is worth more than that!!

Re: Bolts of lightning expected Friday?
 

My thoughts on it are as follows;

At the end of the day the establishment and the flunkies in the palace got what they want in a heir and a spare. They were not bothered about what Charles wanted just what they wanted and needed. Diana was a pawn in the grand scheme they thought up. Ok Camilla was not ideal material in there somewhat sorry very blinkered eyes and to me those flunkies and co are as much to blame as everyone that chased and harassed her.

As for Camilla yes she is right not to go and wrong as well. On the one hand the lads might not want her there and so would the majority of those that attend. On the other hand she should be there for her hubby who is there for his lads.

Catch 22.

Re: Bolts of lightning expected Friday?
 

I can agree with that...................

Re: Bolts of lightning expected Friday?
 

sums up my thoughts completly ,

I don't see anything wrong with 'Camilla' , seems to me if she had been allowed to be the 'prize heifer' the lads would maybe a bit 'brighter' :rolleyes:

Re: Bolts of lightning expected Friday?
 

Isn't that the whole point, she was to old and also married so poor beautiful Diana was used for their breeding!!! As far as I can see those boys are doing just fine considering what they have been through. Being a royal does not stop you from having feelings. Judging by the stories in the papers today Camilla has alienated the people again by contemplating attending the service:(

Monarchy, like religion, was invented by primitive societies
We will grow out of them both eventually

Things have happily changed so in the quarter century since Charles married Diana.

Camilla was never a contender as a Royal bride because she wasn't a virgin, and before the engagement Diana's uncle felt obliged to tell the press that Diana had kept herself 'tidy', all to ensure a pure Royal bloodline.

Nowadays the second in line to the throne was basically living as man and wife with Kate Middleton. Whoever Prince William choses as his bride, I think he'll now be able to marry someone he actually loves.

Re: Bolts of lightning expected Friday?
 

I think she was blinded by the fact that she would be a princess and one day Queen. Come on, wouldn't all women want that, regardless of love, or at the very least consider it?

She was young, very naive but she learnt very fast. She positioned herself in the hearts of the public, if not in the heart of the prince. She has been gone for 10 years, and whilst I am genuinely sorry for the two boys and her close family, she should be laid to rest. By continually harping on about her it undermines the whole fabric of the royal family.

The press are having a field day about Camilla and whether she should go or not. Like her or hate her, if she was invited by the princes then she has every reason to go. Why should some tatty newspapers make the decision about who is or isn't suitable to attend a memorial service? She was invited - end of!

A level headed woman with brains and tact, you should go into Politics Gayle. ;) Totally agree..:)
