Putting it in the context of what she did to Diana, I think it very apt…besides, she isn’t a Queen she is just Charlie’s wife.

I guess it's one of the many myths that OL keeps mentioning to try and wind us all up.
You seem more than happy to take the bate...perhaps you should stop calling me back down from the hills then I'll stop feeding you the truth.

Not very nice is it barney? Mind you it wasn't very nice of Diana calling her step mother "Acid Raine". I don't think Diana was as saintly as some would like us to think.
It's a case of 'He said....she said' and we will never know what really went on between Charles and Diana. I don't believe either was innocent but equally I think it's wrong to lay all the blame at Camilla's door.
As OL says it's time to move on and leave the past behind.

Not so - at the request of the late Queen she is the Queen Consort.

No you are not and I hearby give OL notice that this is not acceptable on a public forum. We all know you views which you are entitled to but I for one do not accept them.

Please bear in mind that my name is associated with this board and it is my neck on the line.

The use of this derogatory term will cease immediately

Which is a credit to you David but in this instance, you have chosen to highlight my name above all those who have made equally if not worse derogatory comments during this topic of conversation. Why?

Perhaps if you had issued the same to those who have used words such as …Ok’ best leave it there, but you get my point surely?

Constitutionally she is every bit a queen as any of the previous wives of a reigning monarch, and I would expect that the next Cunard new build will named Queen Camilla.

Please provide evidence that anything said about them on this forum is even close to being as derogatory as your comment about Camilla.

Why you ask? Because you are the only one continually making derogatory statements about a member of the Royal family - unless you can show me otherwise nobody else has/is continually been making derogatory comments, yes there have been criticisms but that is not the same.

In these days of equality it should surely be called King Charles. Utter discrimination that current Cunarders all have women's names. My life is ruined. Pass me a compo form.

It’s on the way, although when you’ll get it’s anyone’s guess.

Hi John, in the context of the topic of conversation I only had to go back one page to find this derogatory comment, a comment which I find to be totally inappropriate both in its insinuation and intention.

"At least he only broke his wedding vows with one partner whereas Diana went through the field, to quote a race horsing term".

Diana had as reported 5/6 relationships during and after her marriage which is about average during a women’s lifetime, so I would hardly call that going through the field irrespective of how cruelly you phrase it.

Your description makes her out to be some kind of tart which she clearly wasn’t.

I would argue "in the context of this topic of conversation" some of the comments go way beyond that of mere criticisms when referring to other members of the royal family e.g., Harry, lovely Meghan and sadly departed Diana.
