@great-big-stees saidAmerica likes both of them, even if the UK is pissed about them leaving.
The “new” Edward seems, from where I am seated, to to shun any real publicity but then I guess being so far down on the Totem Pole, he really is an afterthought.🤔
Envy is not a good look.
@shallow-blue saidThat's real funny, since I do and I am.
You don't live in the USA or Russia, so you're free to switch channels and watch the footie.
@moonbus saidThanks for the correction - it was before Elizabeth, yes, I mixed up facts. Sorry. But I believe Charles was already in love with Camila when he married Diana, so that marriage could have been avoided.
I believe Edward did not want to be king, with or without Wallis Simpson. Simpson was married when she met Edward, but Edward was not. The 'corporation' would not have let him marry an American divorcee; that was out of bounds. Hence, his decision to abdicate and retire to another country. It was not Elizabeth's decision; she wasn't queen then.

@shallow-blue saidOf course. This is the 21st century, I have ESPN.
You can find a footie game on USA telly?
@torunn saidThat whole episode really frosts me because I think it's horrendous they took this happy girl, Diana Spencer, treated her like a brood mare to get heirs and then discarded her.

Shameful. Not every Princess story ends like Cinderella.
@soothfast saidShe even looks pretty, still a beautiful face.
Whatever embalming fluid and animatronic tech the queen is using is fantastic. She looks very nearly alive!

-Removed-I partly agree with you. She was privileged and moved in privileged circles. The thing I feel very uncertain of is - did she really know what she was doing marrying prince Charles, before it was too late? He was already in love with another woman who was also in love with him - a bad start for a marriage of that dignity. Sure it has happened before in the royal history but the individual pain and embarrassment is still the same.
-Removed-over the 4 days 24,000 3 day emegency food parcels will be given to the poor in england alone, 2,400 people will sleep rough each night, maybee remedying that should take priority over celebrating a woman who has lived a life of luxiory at our expence for over 90 years........just saying.
