Honestly Nick - you're so cynical!! :)
Prince Charles is attending the funeral in Rome though.

is anyone actually gonna watch the wedding ? does anyone actually really care ?

I certainly won't be! Got better things to do with my time. But then I'm not known for being much of a royalist....

If The Queen pops her cloggs, who takes her place? If it's one of the spoilt little toffs I won't be happy!! Then again, the whole Royal Family are spoilt little toffs!

I detest the royal family,
once on some american chat site someone trying to be mean who knew i was from england said something like oh well i hope the queen dies...I was like yeah good for you i dont care

The royal family really went down in my estimation when the Queen Mother died and her whole estate was deemed not liable to inheritance tax! My family has paid so much inheritance tax over the years it's untrue and they get away with not paying any!! WHY???

Such a double standard.

Awww... I'm not a royalist, but of them all I like Chas alot...

I always thought he was manipulated to look like the bad guy in the whole Diana thing.

I think its nice that he's finally getting to marry the woman of his dreams... :thumbsup:

I thought that as my driving test was at the same time as the Royal Wedding no one would be on the road.

Now it's been moved.... damn

Why wasn't the Pope's funeral arranged for a different day? After all, the Royal Wedding has been known about for weeks.

The pope has to be buried between 4 & 6 days after death and because of all the people wanting to see him laying in state it will give them plenty of time

Because Charles and Camilla aren't important when it comes to the man who tirelessly led the world's largest religion for over 25 years!

Probably because they didn't give a monkeys about the royal wedding :P

Also they wanted to compete for viewing figures ;)

Why not combine the two - have a joint funeral/wedding in Rome to keep everyone happy.:hihi: :hihi:

Maybe Charles should be the next Pope - it's about time the Protestants got a look in.:heyhey:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Camila a catholic??

I care little for Prince Charles and Camilla..and just as little for the pope.
Edit: oooo that sounded bad....What I really meant is I care little for the popes funeral.

Far more important question!

Does this mean that Ken & Deirdre's wedding on Coronation St will be postponed too?

I heard on the news that it's postponed because a lot of the key guests are expected at the funeral.
The whole thing is a farce and I truly resent this legal situation of that dreadful horsefaced woman becoming queen but a male partner (ie Prince Phillip or Prince Albert) are only a consort.
Another stupid, archaic, sexist law which should be revoked before that bint gets a chance.
Difficult to tell I don't like her huh?

im not bothered about the royal wedding but i think it is a nice gesture and mark of respect for the late pope.

I have very little time for the whole royal family just a bunch of un-elected rulers in my book. Anyway isnt she a German & he's a Greek, the Queen & Prince Philip i mean. I would much prefer a republic, even if that did mean us having a President Blair.

Maybe it is out of respect, but if they did go ahead with it who would turn up, as my guess would be all the V.I.P's would be in Rome on Friday.

lol yup probably

Personally, I thought marrying an animal was only legal in the U.S.A......

They can't have it on Saturday either because it would clash with the Grand National.

Surley most people will want to watch a thoroughbred racehorse achieving its life's ambition and finally making it into the royal enclosure where it will get its oats.

The rest will just watch the National:hihi:

1pm. Windsor and Datchett WMC. Sandwiches and crisps.

2pm. Bride and Groom open presents.

2.05pm. Quick scuffle outside.

3pm. Sit down dinner. Bride's lot on 'dartboard' side of the main function room.

4.15pm Speeches and toasts.

7.00pm All in the snug for a glass or two of bubbly while Cam and her mum clear out the tables.
8pm-midnight Disco. DJ Des and his 60s experience.*

*9.30pm two more scuffles outside and overtired kids crying/falling asleep on nannas lap

12.20am. Bride and Groom depart for Torremolinos

Surely they won't have toast at a royal wedding? :wow: :D

K x

3pm. Sit down dinner

What's wrong with saus rolls, pork pie and garlic bread?? OOH I love nouveau cuisine :thumbsup:

garlic bread ??

GARLIC ??

BREAD??

GARILIC BREAD!!!!!

Speeches can't be at 4.15...the National is on at 4.10, they'd have to retire to the Snug to watch it then return for the formal toasts etc...

I read in the paper that William Hill are taking bets on which will get the most TV ratings on saturday - the royal wedding or the grand national.....

any predictions anyone ??

I think the national will do it!

i no what i think of her but with the wedding tommorow i would like to no what other people think of her

I'll be betting a quid on Camilla riding Big Ears in the 4:10 at Aintree..........

Sounds like you are about as interested in the wedding as we are in australia.This will help the republican movement no end. Personaly I just don't care. :roll:

I do like anything to do with the royal family. Its so British!

I'm happy for them. I just hope they never ever ever shag because its a horrible thought (and we wouldn't want any sprogs,man that'd be complicated!)

Can you imagine us ever getting rid of the royals though! In France they chopped their heads of, here we'd be like "Err...listen old chap, this is frightfully embarrassing...don't really know how to say this but umm..."

I cannot stand that ugly woman and the thought of HER becoming the queen make's my blood boil :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:

Or at least it was up until Boudicea died.

Then it was: Roman (through Empire), Saxon, Danish, Saxon, Norman, assorted French/Norman inbreeds, Scottish (with French backing), Dutch, German, German/Greek hybrid, and now possibly German/Greek/Equine!

(Though not necessarily in that order) :confused:

Love that Saxon. Was it the national today? Folks were saying she couldn't be in two places at once!

Rumour has it that she'll be at the National, and there'll be a stand-in for her at the wedding.......Shergar, I think!

prince phillip has alledgedly sent camilla a wedding present,
a chauffer driven ride round Paris.

I see the cheap and shoddy merchandise is already on sale.

Good to see your grasp of English is on a par with your reasoning power ;)

You may not like Camilla and that's your prerogative, but to call any woman ugly in a public forum is out of order I feel.

Sounds like you are about as interested in the wedding as we are in australia.

Hope you are looking after the true king

I hope Camilla's as happy in her marriage as Diana was in hers .....

As a loyal subject of Her Majesty the Queen, I am delighted to see The Duchess of Cornwall slot into the royal circle.

Welcome Ma'am. You are a credit to all decent ladies. :)

Oh come on, even Diana was better looking than Camilla... I mean, THAT neck... WTF?! :lol:

Been told not to drop my h"s. I have a photo of camilla on the mantle piece.....keeps the kids away from the fire..

Nice one :thumbsup:

It works as a wallpaper on the PC aswell.

it's nice to know that some of my fellow forumers are sooo good looking themselves that they can criticise others so freely :rolleyes:
... seems to me that Charles and Camilla are very well suited, both in looks and lifestyle ... I wish them a long and happy life together... I think he deserves some pleasure after the life he's led, poor devil - autocratic father, rigid mother, dippy wife ... we can only hope he's chosen wisely this time round :)

For what it's worth I have to say that the lives of at least three people would have been happier had they got their act together 30 years ago and married back then.

Prince Charles has had a very priveleged life, and with that comes the responsibility of position. The bottom line is that once it was obvious 20 odd years ago that Camilla was married and that he was marrying a young and relatively naive woman he and Camilla should just have acknowledged that it was over, got on with their own lives and, in Charles's case, worked harder on his marriage.

BTW, do they have central heating in the Tower of London? And a wireless Internet connection? :)

Or he could have done what most kids do when they are old enough to leave home, and think for themselves.

Nothing stopped him saying, "Sod this for a lark, I'm off."

He either wants to be King, or he doesn't. Taking the rough with the smooth is part of everybody's life....even our 'voluntary' royals.

And thank God for Diana. Some English blood in the line of descent at last. The kids look normal as well....which makes a pleasant change at Buck House.

Dear Kettle

You're black

:mad:

why does Diana have to be a trollop and Camilla have to be a decent woman - or vice versa.

What's with the labels all the time ... just accept that women are people and have their own lives to live ... you make me sick ...

Because, like it or not, we live a patriarchal society when sexually-active men are called studs (except, er, HRH Charles) and sexually-active women are called sluts.

If you don't approve, move to a place where they don't have those stereotypes, such as... such as... err...

I'll get me coat :blush:

I like the monachy, enjoy the pomp, ceromony and history that they bring to the country, and think that Camilla is a far more suitable queen than Diana ever would have made. Although, at this point, there's no suggestion that she's ever going to be queen...

And I think that her "looks" match those of the man she's married - not that her looks are relevant either.
They obviously love each other so I say let them get on with it.

I'm not religous, but ........
it sounded nice to hear the 'Lords Prayer' said in the way that I was taught it.:)

Merely an accurate description Abdul.

Diana, in one of the earliest photo's I saw of her was showing a bit of leg through a see through dress. They were never going to be a match. Did she become far too bitter for a 'Lady'?

Remember the incriminating tapes she was storing to exact her 'revenge'? Not a lady IMHO. She was 'tomming' (hawking) it around a bit too! :D

To be honest I'm not sure you could call any of them a great upstanding moral paragon with behaviour beyond reproach. I found the whole saint dianna thing and demonising of Chuck nauseating - they both appeared to be playing away from home with other married people - including (apparently) Camilla. But then again for all their cash and privilage they are only human!

Yep, and Charles is probably the most sensitive and least womanising heir in history.

It is a matter of record that Charles & Diana's respective Grandmothers instigated the match between them knowing full well that Charles and Camilla were having an affair, Camilla also encourage the match thinking that Diana would be compliant. Diana was a very young and naive girl who was lied to and manipulated by all around her. They all assumed that she would be the dutiful wife, provide the heir and the spare and accept her husbands mistress as was the custom of this family. Diana dragged them kicking and screaming into the 20th century and fought back in the only way she could. She was no angel but she was a victim of this hideously outdated and out of touch family. Having said all that it was obvious today that this pair do love each other and no one leads a completely blameless life so lets hope that they can make each other happy, they would be me very happy if the Queen would abdicate and take her whole disfunctional family off to live out their lives as private citizens of this country.

I'm neither here or there on the royal family, but I thought it was nice to see two people who have obviously cared about each other for ages tying the knot.

... And it didn't take Westminster Abbey, a 300ft dress, the cover of Vogue, or Elton John banging away on the ivories.

Go figure.

The wedding was at St. Pauls, but your point is well made
