mommaduck Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I can't remember the exact timing, but it was either just before Diana left him or just after, a transcript of a phone call he had w/his then mistress, now wife, Camilla, and he was going on...at one point telling her he wanted to be reincarnated as her tampon.

Yes, he flies helos. But he can't actually go to war because he is the current "spare" to the throne. So, yeah, lots of boredom there. Lots of ways to goof up. He needs a real job, and real responsibility - just like any other 20-something. Well, he did deploy to Afghanistan for three months.

Laura Corin Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 He is as disturbed by culture clash as any immigrant adapting to a new country. He was brought up in a family culture of arranged or semi-arranged marriage, where personal happiness was sacrificed to the family good. His aunt Margaret had been banned from marrying the man she loved and had lived a life of some misery and a lot of booze. Charles was in love with Camilla Parker Bowles from the early 1970s but he was not allowed to marry her. He was not able to break free from his family influence to marry her despite his family's opposition - the horror of his great uncle's abdication would still have been strong - but was also not able to stifle his own desires. So he persuaded himself that he could continue another family tradition, and have both a wife and a mistress. Meanwhile Diana, despite her aristocratic background, had more 20th century Western expectations for marriage. I don't have much respect for Charles, but I do think that it's worth thinking about where he comes from culturally. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a real job, but to the Royal family it is something to keep him occupied until he starts his real job, which is waiting for his father to die. He's not going to be allowed to pilot a helicopter much longer. He's got to produce an heir and then start waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He finally couldn't take the stress anymore and became an air traffic controller at a busy metropolitan airport. Ditto for a friend who was a nurse for 15 years in a high-level NICU.

SunnyDays Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I have to say, I enjoyed the clips of Harry, William, and Kate at the Olympics. They looked like they were having a good time, just sitting there among all the other spectators for the most part. I'm sure there was plenty of security waiting in the wings, but they weren't separated from the crowds. And watching Harry preside over the closing ceremonies? The guy looked positively miserable in a suit up there in front of all those people. No wonder he had to hit Vegas to blow off some steam... ;) I personally find the European monarchies endearing. They're imperfect, like everyone else on earth, and certainly no more annoying than the American "royals" be they political families or reality tv stars.

They're asking for it and it's their own doing. I absolutely believe that everyone is entitled to have an opinion on any subject. My comment about America having spoken on it in 1776 was in reference to the initial discussion in this thread about whether or not the monarchs should be "throne" out to use Bill's parlance. :p It is my opinion that the US had already declared it's position on monarchy back in 1776 and therefore we really have no business calling for the abolition of the royal family IN ENGLAND. It's for them to decide for themselves. People are entitled to believe whatever they want and they have the freedom of speech to declare it also, but I think it's pretty presumptuous and arrogant to tell people in another country what should be done with their royals when we already left the conversation so long ago, kwim? That's all I meant really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
