I enjoy reading about royalty but I'm also glad we don't have to support one, though a lot of our congressmen are way overpaid with their pensions, etc. and cost us more than a royal family would. I don't care much
for Charles & Camilla marrying and being accepted since they cheated thru both their marriages.

But it wasn't strong enough for him to marry her in the first place. Maybe Camilla was barren and couldn't provide an heir.

It would seem to me that all Pro Royalist make the mistake of thinking that the Queen is the British equivalent of The President , she is not, the closest would be the Prime Minister although not exactly so as a Prime minister is also the leader of the Party in power, whereas the President can be a Republican with a Democratic House or visa versa.
The great thing about an unpopular President is he has only 4 years then he can be voted out, whereas with a Monarchy you are stuck with the product of a womb for ever.

I'm Australian, but Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is the Queen of Australia, too.
Charles and Camilla share a psychic bond based on an affinity that is much stronger and more abiding and true than Charles' connection with Diana.
***The Queen forbade Charles to marry Camilla in 1976 because Charles' grandfather kept Camilla's grandmother as a mistress and she thought that fact might curse the royal family.
Charles was not given permission to marry Camilla for political, historical and superstitious reasons, not because they did not love each other right from the start.

there became no British Royal family participants ahead of the Union of Crowns in 1606, till now that there have been seperate dynasties in Scotland and England. The dynasty ruling England, the Tudors, ran out of valid heirs so the crown of england became provided to the king of Scotland as his mom, Mary were a cousin of Queen Elizabeth. James VI of Scotland grew to become James I of the recent uk.

Camilla had a couple of kids, so your 'barren' theory can be put aside!
Personally, I don't like the Royal Family as an institution. As people, I have nothing against them.

I don't feel the royal family serve any purpose what so ever. They are a drain on the economy and don't deserve special treatment. The money could be far better spent.
P.S Camilla has to grown up children, so she was definitely not barren.

Canada gives cheer to the Royal family United States style. The Bronx Cheer and a few dozen Archie Bunker "THE BERRIES".

No i dont i think they are overpaid extreme but saying that i did like Princess Diana she was fresh blood to an over egotisitical monarchy.
What are their uses they dont really have any
Chrles and Camilla well really shouldnt they have done something long ago instead of decieving everyone and trapping a shy young woman in their web of lies

Being Canadian and having the same royal family, I must say I have met several and never one I didnt like. I've never a politician I LIKED.
