Did you know that Kate will be the first commoner queen-to-be in over 350 years? She has no royal background at all, no ties to the royal family.

Hi... I too have really enjoyed watching the wedding, and they both looked so happy and comfortable together, it was a wonderful day.

I think Charles always had the option to marry Camilla all those years ago, they were actually formally courting each other. However Charles went away on military duties.... and darling Camilla went and married someone else, she chose not to wait for him. I just dont like her at all.....

I love most of the Royal family... however i do feel that Charles put Diana through a lot of misery, (I know she was not perfect either), but with Charles still involved with Camilla... their marriage did not stand a chance. Diana herself quoted in an interview "There are three people in this marriage"

So sad........

I thought that the royal courtiers didn't think she was a suitable match for him, so they encouraged him to marry someone else. Either way, it was terrible for everyone

I am not 100% sure, but she has always been very well liked by the Royals, so though she may not have been ideal.... I think he would have gotten the Royal seal of Approval.

Hi Diane! It's so nice to have your perspective! All we get are (mostly) Americanized reports! Anyway, I got up at 4:30AM to watch the wedding and I loved every moment!

This thread, and the one about the elections in Canada have been so interesting! It is great to get the true picture about what is going on in the world.
