I went off them all after the way they treated Diana. She needed guidance from a firm mother-in-law (or mother) but it was not given. What finished me off was the scene at Balmoral on the Sunday when I first heard Diana was dead - when the clergyman at the Church they had all been at stated "We did not mention her by name, but we said prayers for the dead". Diana's sons were there in that Church, and their mother's name SHOULD have been mentioned. And then all that stuff about no flag flying at Buckingham Palace etc. Ok, they put it right when the People showed they would not put up with it, but for me, it was too late.

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.

No Royal child gets proper parental guidance because of the remoteness between parents and children inherent in the upper class system of education.
