@torunn saidAgain I concur torunn, although wouldn't William's father be next in line? Or is he going to get skipped over because of everything with his personal life?
I would think that without Philip, the love of her life, she will feel as tired as she should at her age and after so many years of loyal service to her people. I think William and Kate are ready and well prepared.

@very-rusty saidI think the natural thing would be to prefer William and Kate, they are the right personalities and age and give a solid impression. Charles and Camilla, nice as I'm sure they are, do not give that impression, partly because of their history. All in my opinion of course.

@torunn saidAny man who would kick Diana to the curb for Camilla doesn't deserve the throne.

@torunn saidCharles has waited most of his adult life to be king. William's time will come, but only after his father.

I think Charles will make a very good king. He has mellowed well.

@torunn saidYes, that was quite messy between Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales. We all know what happened there.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidYou have followed him much closer than I have - I only know from Swedish media. If you say he will make a good regent together with his wife Camilla, I believe you.

@torunn said25 years ago I would have answered differently. 🙂

@ghost-of-a-duke saidCharles loved Camilla before he met Diana. The tragedy is that nobody stopped him from marrying Diana. Camilla is the love of his life.

@torunn saidSeems odd that she often lived at a different address to Phillip though. When I visited the old royal yacht, Britannia in Scotland a few years ago I was also struck by the separate bedrooms and living arrangements on the relatively small boat that they toured on. She is a very successful diplomat so I would be shocked if she said anything other than 'he was the love of my life' or did anything other than promote the image of a harmonious royal family so it's difficult to know what to believe really. Beyond the rhetoric very little looks harmonious about the royal family.

@relentless-red saidElderly couples, and even younger, prefer separate bedrooms and sometimes separate living. I would too. It has nothing to do with love, just comfort and consideration.

Edit: I need to correct myself here, I should have said: It doesn't necessarily have to do with love or not - I can't answer for other people, it's just my observations.
@suzianne saidLooks aren't everything Suzie Q, Camilla and Charles were in love before Diana ever came into the picture. I do think though it was a very messy situation and agree he doesn't deserve the throne, of course you are from the U.S. and I am from Canada.
Any man who would kick Diana to the curb for Camilla doesn't deserve the throne.

@lemondrop saidDo you actually follow what is going on lemon?
