Poll question: Can two homely...

...degenerate, in-bred, 50-something aristocrats find happiness in this crazy, topsy-turvy world?

2. Hey, who cares anyway?
I don't have to pay their salary. If I were British, however, I'd be pushing for an end to the monarchy, but none of this stuff makes any difference.

3. well now, try this... the government there is "sanctioning" the marriage
of two people who broke up two marriages, two people who deceived their spouses for years, etc. I think Charles should say officially he wants his son to be king (and "guardian" of the Church of England or whatever the title is) and stop making a mockery of his position. The deceit and lies they did for years against innocent parties including their own children... it's not a good example, is it? If they were having a dating situation for years and weren't married I wouldn't be saying this because they wouldn't have been hurting anyone. What gets me is they did hurt spouses and children and they made a mockery of their own marriages, humiliated their kids and spouses, etc. This guy shouldn't be king and Camilla should not be rewarded with ANY title. They took Diana's HRH title away when she divorced the bastard and now the "other" person who helps cause the breakup gets the title. Duh.

4. I believe she's going to be called "royal consort" or "queen consort"
I forget which, but neither sounds particularly flattering.

5. and she gets a title "Duchess of Cornwall "and a few others
and I 'm thinking, they are rewarding this woman and this man who basically fucked over their spouses. I am not saying they shouldn't marry as that is their legal right. But they shouldn't be having any titles.

I know if I were married and my spouse screwed around on me, married his lover and my friends and others were applauding, I'd be very devastated.

I just heard some poll in Britain and it said a greater than 50% of those polled would like to see Charles step down as next in line. I agree. That whole adultery/deceit thing going on for years was just disgusting.
