Now that will make for an interesting read. I wonder if Netflix are interested. He didn't last long with her did he?

Re: Current Affairs
I rated Diana very highly. But I'm not sure how to assign guilt to the tragedy that befell her. I suspect that given the choice Charles and Camilla would have married each other in the first place and we would have never heard of Diana.Onelife wrote: 22 Dec 2022, 22:19Which begs the question, how highly do you rate Charlie and Camilla’s moral compass in destroying a young women’s life all for an heir to the throne?Mervyn and Trish wrote: 22 Dec 2022, 21:26Yes I presume all the Grenadiers are irreproachable virgins of impeccable moral standards.

Re: Current Affairs
It is as I said it would be a few posts back…. “The Firm feed press new diversionary stories” …Catherine and ---- to take salute at the trooping of the colour… Charlie to issue more loyalty titles…Royal insider (William & Charlie) dish more dirt on Meghan but remain tight lipped about it…Meghan kicked our Corgis…. Oops! Sorry they haven’t leaked that one yet
So very predictable

Re: Current Affairs
Diane was a bargaining chip at a time when her family were brassick lint. Does that make her a paragon of virtue or a fool entering into a marriage of convenience. Everybody knew that Charles loved Camilla from day 1 but he did his duty and suffered a loveless marriage as a consequence. Now he is a very happy bunny living in a caring selfless relationship.

OL, am I to understand you didn't realise Me again had been married before, just for three years apparently. It's not a news story, it's true. It appears she must also have been in a loveless marriage. It happens.

Re: Current Affairs
I find all this raking over Princess Diana, Meghan Markle stuff, just a load of tittle tattle, water under the bridge dross to feed click bait. Time to move on, and concentrate on real issues. War, economics, trade, poverty, pandemics, health provision, environment etc., etc.

Re: Current Affairs
I would agree with you Frank if it wasn’t for the fact that the things you have mentioned are far too depressing.Frank Manning wrote: 23 Dec 2022, 12:50I find all this raking over Princess Diana, Meghan Markle stuff, just a load of tittle tattle, water under the bridge dross to feed click bait.

I have to say though Frank such things as War (Ukraine) oppression (China/ Iran) are never far from my mind but I think like most of us the reality of what is happening in these countries is very difficult to write about.
I will however contribute if you wish to start off a topic of conversation.

So once the Netflix money runs out and they need to find more regular work, then we can expect that work commitments might have the same impact on H&Ms marriage.Onelife wrote: 23 Dec 2022, 12:30Hi Foxy, I did know she was married, I’m her greatest admirer remember.oldbluefox wrote: 23 Dec 2022, 12:03OL, am I to understand you didn't realise Me again had been married before, just for three years apparently.

Re: Current Affairs
That's how I feel. The situations are so alarming that I would be loathe to contribute apart from agreeing how awful the situation is.
It seems a pity that a bit of light-hearted banter between OL and a few others causes upset so if anyone has something more inspiring to discuss then they should feel free to share. I enjoyed our banter with OL which was always kept civil with no harm being done even if it means OL has the last word!!!

Time then for all of us to have a bit of the Caribbean.
Death in Paradise Monday 21.00 BBC1
A nice one to unwind to after a hectic two days.
