It's hard to feel sorry for any of those uber-wealthy people, but I always felt a little bit of sympathy for her and Charles, and never got the resentment against her. It was obvious he was forced into marrying Diana because it was 'the done thing' when he loved someone else. And I imagine Diana was awful to be married to (sorry don't accept the myths about that woman). But finally, Camilla and Charles got to be together and surely theirs was the true love story? Now what she saw in him? That's a complete mystery to me :lol:

Charles should never have married a young innocent girl like Diana, it was very wrong of him. And I do believe she really did love him (but a mystery why to me too ;)).

I suppose times have changed so much in the Royal Family at one time there is no way he would have been allowed to marry a divorced woman, but there you go, 20 odd years later it is OK.

If it had been allowed back in 1981 the whole Royal Family saga would be very different, but then we wouldn't have had the charming Wills marrying his lovely princess on Friday.

This is a part of Codex Alimentarius, a global effort backed by Big Pharma to outlaw natural medicines. There has been much talk about it here, including the powers that will be given to authorities to levy steep fines on ordinary citizens. Scary.

Britain has a deep history in herbal medicinals and natural remedies. It would be a real travesty to see this outlawed.

I agree with you. This should be an outrage! Even the Royal Family uses homeopathy (a bit different from herbals).

I'm actually jumping between BBC News Channel on the net and Sky on TV and I feel really lucky to watch everything.

If you are up check out Fox TV for coverage.

I stayed up all night - exhausted the next day, though.

I was a bit disappointed in her dress. It was lovely but I expected something more for a queen in the making. It was very elegant, though, and reminded me of Grace Kelly's dress.
