I'm not British or (North)American, but I'll be watching The Coronation of King Charles III (at 3am local time, mind you!). It's an historic event, besides nobody does pomp and circumstance better than the British. I'm sure it's going to be grand.
You didn't want a king ...
Well, that is true, even though it's starting to look like a goal here. It seems like an expensive tradition, but I can understand why, at this point at least, it is all part of identity and pride. However to go for Camilla when he had Diana seems like a serious lapse in judgement that I wouldn't have made.
Camilla was his first choice. The institution arranged the Dianna marriage.Well, that is true, even though it's starting to look like a goal here.

That was not my point.. I knew that, however, Diana was hot!
But, he wasn't the first Royal to follow his heart. I guess relationships are hard enough without having to have the approval of a group of Royals.
Polling consistently shows that over 60% of Britons support the monarchy as an institution. I personally don’t know anyone who would favour a republic, though that doesn’t mean we’re all royalists as such—many of us recognise what the system we’ve inherited offers us and are content to retain it until it fizzles out (which I’ve no doubt it will).
If he truly followed his heart, he would have abdicated and chose to marry Camilla, not bring an innocent teenager into the mix and make a fool of her.That was not my point.. I knew that, however, Diana was hot!
At the time wasn't Camilla already married? I'm not sure of the timeline because frankly I really didn't and really still don't care that much. That system just seems grossly expensive and really, other than some type of regal showmanship, has no affect on the happenings of government at all.

Yes, she was married with kids but was carrying on with Charles. She got divorced a year or so before Charles and Diana. Both of them were cheating, quite openly on their spouses. Yes, they system was old fashioned but I am saying that they had a choice to do the RIGHT thing, for Charles to never marry Diana and for her to just divorce her husband and they could have live quiet lives. But they wanted it all, which makes them even more disgusting.
