You are right. Prince Charles fell out of love with Diana, which led to her unhappiness. Diana's new rich boyfriend ended up getting her killed, along with himself. What a tragic ending that was. She was only in her 30's too. I doubt Harry will fall out of love with Meghan. Unlike his father.

I woke up early and turned on the TV and Fox was broadcasting it live. I hit the record button to record it for my wife and managed to get it from the point just before they arrived at the church. I agree that it clearly demonstrated that the British know how to put on a show. BTW, did anyone else notice that the electric Jaguar E-Type was left hand drive?

It seemed to pull England together. We could use something like that here.

Harry's lineage isn't exactly without question. They probably made an exception in this case.

I think it's the distant relatives that people moan about. Sure the Queen, her kids, her grandkids and great grandkids do give back. But, third and fourth cousins????

Diana was a naive gold digger. As far as Charles and the rest of the royal family were concerned, she was nothing more than an incubator for the next in line.

In 1981 when Charles and Diana were married, the requirement (supposedly) still was that the Prince of Wales had to marry a virgin. The sexual revolution had been running long enough by then that the available pool of probable-virgins old enough to be candidates was fairly limited, and Diana was picked as the best choice of the lot. With hindsight it's likely that things would have gone better if a more mature woman had been chosen, but those were the rules in effect at the time.

I don't agree with you that Lady Diana was a naive gold digger. A definition of a gold digger to me, is one who wants riches without earning those benefits, and does so with false intentions. She was a great mother, and was indeed the most popular of all the Royal Family. Camilla is the one who stole all of Diana's possible chance of happiness. I read an article, that Camilla has finally accomplished acceptance from the British. Good for her. She's no Diana. That's for sure.

When I say she was a gold digger, I meant that she had certain ideas about what marrying into the royal family would involve. She thought that it would be a life of luxury and happy ever after. I personally believe that she had been groomed for that position by her family since childhood. Unfortunately for her, the royal family only wanted her to provide "an heir and a spare". Once she'd done that, she was expected to let Charley Boy carry on with Camilla and not mention it. She was popular when they were first married because she was young, good looking and not quite as closely related as most "outsiders" marrying into royalty. Most of her charity work didn't really start until after the break down of the marriage. It was as if she desperately wanted people to take her side. She had several affairs once the marriage was "on the rocks" and Harry was almost certainly the result of one of them. But, she was little more than a kid herself at the time and was vulnerable. So, she was certainly naive. She was expecting a fairy tale lifestyle, and although she was prepared to do the work expected of her, she wasn't prepared for the downside of marrying into the royal family. Camilla has not been and will never be fully accepted by the British public. Most of us don't really care what they do in their personal lives, but, those who do, do not like Camilla.

Some interesting information you provided. Being an American, we don't get immediate information that the British Press provides to your country. Meghan is a Southern California woman. When Harry and Meghan eventually come to Los Angeles CA (Hollywood), it will be an event that will match Lady Diana's visit to America, when she danced with movie star John Travolta. Meghan will have to comply with Royal Family Traditions. Which may take some getting use to. Meghan is a liberal minded woman from Hollywood, California. Harry is suppose to be liberal minded too, based on British Standards. Regardless, the Queen will have the final say, if the two of them drift too far from tradition. Meghan has already been told that mini skirts shall not be worn by Royal Family women. Which is normal attire for many American women. And other Western Cultures. Breaking some traditional ways will not be tolerated by the Queen. Even though she is in her early 90's now, the Queen is still in charge. I believe that William, not Prince Charles, will be the next King. He is much more prepared for the Throne than Charles or Harry. Charles King, and Camilla as Queen? No way can that happen.

I people watched and car watched. However, too early in the morning so we recorded it and zipped through all the talking heads and saved a lot of time. Also, that big expanse of green, so perfectly manicured, at Windsor Castle....perfect spot for a chip shot.

Spindrift62 Loc: Dorset, England. U.K.

That area is called The Quadrangle or Quad for short. No need for chip shotting there as there is a golf course on the other side of the building. It used to be a herb garden back in the dark ages. It was specially planted so that the scent
of the herbs would permeate into the surrounding building and hopefully 'drown out' the body odour of the residents. Hygenic washing was not high on their must do lists.

SteveR Loc: Michigan

I had actually thought about a driver but can't afford to replace the glass. I'd love to visit Windsor. If I do, I'll have to check out the golf course.

Yes, I did notice. But one of the UHH said it was an early model, maybe already destined for abroad. or maybe the photo was accidentally printed wrong way round? When Prince William was married , they drove off in Charles' Aston Martin. William admitted afterwards he was so nervous, he drove the whole way to the hotel with the handbrake on! Charles may then have decided Harry was going to be King! Incidentally, big plaudits here from many watching who saw the carriage outrider on the gray horse controlling a very fractious steed.
