Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, Part II

[Norbert]

Norbert, what makes you classify me as a republican?  I have not given my position at all, just relating those of the friends I have in Britain.   And who are "we"?  I spend a lot of time in Britain and am a close observer and listener. I would say your  views are a distinct minority. Most people  just are trying to get by and could give less than a fig for royal fro-fro.
 I imagine Camilla feels the same.

Yeah ...right

perhaps you should widen your circle of friends. I  don't know anyone who would wish to establish a Republic here...certainly it's not on the agenda of any political party. Even the Scots Independent Party advocate retaining the Monarchy in Scotland

Sorry ,I forgot to quote you Robert. Where did you say you came from?

[Michael HR]

And we Brits have lots to complain about at the present time. But the Queen in not one of the them or the Crown. We do not want it to go but would like it to evolve probably with William rather than Charles. He, Charles, may not outlive his Mother and even if he did his reign would be short due to his age. A Republic is out of the question. The thought of President Blair or Brown makes my blood run cold!

It is  so hard to discuss things with a closed mind.

[Michael HR]

Robert,

I hope you do not think I have a closed mind, assuming it was me you were talking about. I try always to see things in a open point of view and I am always willing to have that point of view changed were necessary.

[Robert_Hall]

No, Michael, I was not referring to you at all.
 Now, could we  just get back to the topic, which is Camilla, after all? The current staus and future is another topic altogether.

[Michael HR]

Agreed.

Do people think she should have the rank of Queen consort or Princess Consort. A poll would be intresting.

[Eric_Lowe]

I think Princess Consort without coronation would be acceptable to most. Camilla would be in tune with Mett Meritte and Maxima.

[Robert_Hall]

I agree with Eric. That was also what was annonuced when they married. They should stick with it to maintain some cerdibilty.

[Eric_Lowe]

Thanks. I think as long as they stick with the plan. Both Charles & Camilla would be accepted without much fuss. Think it is what they had in mind too...

[Lucien]

I think Princess Consort without coronation would be acceptable to most. Camilla would be in tune with Mett Meritte and Maxima.

No Eric,Mette-Marit and Máxima will be Queen of Norway/The Netherlands resp. in due time,theirs is a slightly different story on crucial points.

[Norbert]

No, Michael, I was not referring to you at all.
 Now, could we  just get back to the topic, which is Camilla, after all? The current staus and future is another topic altogether.

but surely Robert we must agree with our man who  "spends a lot of time in Britain and am a close observer and listener ", and more importantly " knows a LOT of British folks". I presume this is  "Martyn I don't really give a toss about the monarchy". otherwise we are branded a " minority with a closed mind".

The more I read on the Allly Pally, the more I feel sympathy for Camilla.  To have your life dissected on the Ally Pally is more than the average person could stand and Camilla is an average woman, nothing more.  The worst thing about being a Royal is that you are not in a position to answer back as Sarah York does and Diana did.

If I were Camilla and did not get to wear all that jewelry as a reward and compensation, I would just buy a large country house and hide out for two weeks of every month showing up in London only for the occasional flower show or garden party.
