A Thread for British People Only

It appears you are saying it isn't that you agree with the Adultery, just he was younger and immature. I would agree with that, have also told people that. As Ghost said he has waited many years for his turn!

Yes, that's what I mean. Generally I don't agree with adultery but it is easy to say when we are this age. He was younger then and I have been young too and I too have made that kind of mistake.

I believe I've already told you he is not respected here because of the adultery with Carmela while married to Diana unfortunately. He probably should have never married Diana when he was in love with another women?

But, of course, her previous, subsequent, and rather more extensive adultery doesn't count. Maybe Diana should never have married Charles merely for status and money, when she was never in love with him?

There was likely pressure (never a good thing) from both “families” for the two to wed. After all, one must keep the lineage intact.🤔😲😉

He married her to have for a trophy to show around. Tell me if he wasn't a Prince he would had a chance with her. 🙂

That is probably closer to the real truth they were both pressure into it by their families.

You're thoroughly confusing the two, there. It wasn't his idea to begin with.

Tradition, expectations, authority. In many royal families, there are cases of individuals who are forbidden to marry for love unless it was a suitable choice. In Sweden we have prinsessan Margareta, in England princess Margaret - both ended up unhappy marrying somebody else. It's along the same line.

I can add that prinsessan Margareta of Sweden fell in love with Robin Douglas-Home, a pianist, an impossible love affair according to the protocol, the king Gustav VI made sure of that.

I see, but don't think it fair someone has to marry a person they are not in LOVE with as nothing good can ever come of it, except maybe in the rare case.

It's the same thing really - they were forced to marry other people they didn't love.

I think pressured would be a better word to use.

You can't force someone to do something they don't want to do.

I believe Harry proved that!

I believe they were given the opportunity of choosing a suitable person regardless of how they felt.

I don't think so, as you said yourself it was their duty.

Lets not even start talking about Prince Andrew while we are in the subject of the Royals. I don't think you want to go there. 🙂

Later, when her young brother Gustav met his love, Silvia a commoner, the rules were changed, and he is now King Gustav VI and Silvia is queen.
