On Prince Charles and Camilla



======
Two interesting and nice people in a tough situation.
======



And Princess Diana is still sitting in her grave mulling it all over.

I certainly understand various people have various viewpoints on various
other people, perhaps even some they favor for various reasons, Prince
Charles and Camilla being the 2 people in this current thread, however, I
cannot "serve 2 masters".  Either I hate the one and love the other, or visa
versa.

Either Diana was a completely intolerant sadistic raving lunatic, or her
actual Writings and Interviews to The Press and various other people
indicating "the unholy hell Charles put me through for 15 years" and "I'm
afraid Charles is going to kill me to clear the way to marry Camilla" and
"Charles is simply not fit to assume the throne", among other things, are
all true and right on the money.

If Diana was a realist and related what was actually going on, then I have
about as much sympathy and congratulations for Charles and Camilla as I do
for a Pope who, well, Arianna Huffington put it much better than I could in
her latest article that was just posted up here.

On the other hand, if it actually turns out that Diana was a pathological
liar wacko, then I wish Charles and Camilla the very best playing ding dong
under the covers as Diana is rotting in her grave.

Either way, my opinion basically means zip as far as any Truth or Justice
catching up to various people while they are alive in this life.  We tend to
judge people on the merits of what other people say about them now and then,
especially "royalty and celebrities" which "most of us" don't even ever have
an opportunity to actually meet, much less really get to know.  If Diana
wasn't doing Thorazine when she wrote all those things about Charles, then I
have a tendency to have a natural built-in aversion to him.  Go figure, I
was raised in America where many of us blurt out our feelings about other
people based on things we think we've learned from things other people wrote
about them like we were sitting at a baseball game yelling slurs at an
umpire that we haven't the slightest clue whether he is a good or bad person
or whether he really needs glasses or not.

Is Charles really "interesting" and "nice"....?

I will have to admit that he is "interesting".  Being born with a silver
spoon in his mouth into British Royalty, and marrying a relative "Commoner"
who had his children, then having an affair which apparently contributed to
driving Diana "over the edge" of one thing or another, and then watching her
"die in a car crash", and then marrying the woman he was having an affair
with all that time, is certainly "interesting".

As far as "nice"...?   I don't really know the man.  I do know that if I
handled things like he did down here in my little town, there would be very
little wiggle room in the gossip columns down here as to my being "Nice".

Except, of course, if I was Royalty.  Then they would all be bending over
backwards and standing in line to kiss my ring, whether I had a "nice" bone
in my body or not.

Ah well, I can dream...        :|
