I do not doubt what you say - I know beauty is only skin deep but Charles must have been wearing blinkers - a beautiful wife like Diana and still after Camilla. No sorry I still can't accept her.

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. He should have married a Royal Princess and then she would have expected his behaviour and put up with it. And All this MUCK that we've had to listen to about our Royal Family for the past years since Charles and Diana divorced, would have been kept secret, to be written about by historians in two hundred years time.

I do go along with you there Marg, but I think Liz had to eat humble pie. I'm not so sure about a strong mother in law, I reckon a faithfully husband would not have gone amiss.

If Charles had married a Royal Princess he would have got a wife who expected him to be unfaithful. Instead, he married a girl who was described as a "Commoner", and who soon learned to play him at his own game. Recent revelations about the length of time he had been involved with Mrs Parker Bowles make me disgusted with him, and her as well. They both used their partners to their own ends.

It's just a discussion Mike, and people giving their own opinions, and threads like this are interesting on a list. Sorry my mind is made up about what went on when Diana died. I lie in bed at night reading one book after another about Marie Antoinette and how she lost favour with the French people. She was not blameless, neither was she always in the wrong. Of course, it's history, just as all this will be history one day. What I see is a great similarity in the loss of popularity of Monarchy. The disestablishment of the Church (and worse) - in France it is necessary to get married first in the Registry Office at the Town Hall, then you can go to Church for the blessing, but not before. That's the law of the land since the Revolution. Sorry if I'm rabbitting! Was Whitlam the fellow who thought it was all right to put his hand on the Queen's back on one of her visits? No wonder, if she'd been rolling around on his rug!

Patrick, Saint Born perhaps in South Wales, less probably at Boulogne-sur-Mer, or Kilpatrick near Dumbarton (Scotland). His father was a Romano-British Deacon named Calpurnius. According to legend, he was siezed by pirates in his 16th year, carried off to Ireland and sold to an Antrim Chief called Milchu. After six years he escaped and probably after a second captivity, went to France, where he became a monk, first at Tours, and afterwards at Lerins. Sent by Pope Celestine the 1st to Ireland as a Missionary. Marj --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
