Default Camilla - marriage made in a road accident

Following up to a.spencer3

When Diana died in the road accident she was not the wife of Charles.

They
were divorced.


And Diana, of course, was then sleeping around with far more abandon than
Charles ever did.


Isn't it said that one of the princes looks very like her lover
rather than Charlie? I seem to remember the press trying to get
hold of DNA?

It's Harry that the rumour is about. Funny you mention that, because
looking at a recent photo of Charles on the internet last night, I was
struck for the first time by the resemblance Harry has to his father.

Oh, and I noticed that the Italian newsreader that the BBC replayed
(they were surveying international reaction) referred to Charles as
Carlo (Carlo d'Inghilterra.) If the Italians even pronounce the
christian names of foreigners in their vernacular, then I wouldn't worry
about the anglicisation of place names!

That's exactly what I was arguing to my spanish-speaking partner
yesterday, who sees no problem with El Principe Carlos!

How dare you allow facts to interfere with conspiracy theory.

These wackos give Charles much more credit than I would. I just can't imagine
him having the brains to arrange for his ex-wife's lover's chauffeur to get
drunk and to also arrange for them to be pursued at high speeds through the
streets of Paris where they end up flipping a luxury car.


he might well have the brains to know that such a risky strategy
was highly dangerous, unnecessary and counter productive in
making Di a sort of saint figure.

Strange thing is that British newspapers, which have generally adopted the
practice of using the original name of modern foreign monarchs, like Juan
Carlos, frequently anglicise the Italain pretender's name as Victor
Emmanuel. (One spectacularly egregious example in the Grauniad went on to
call him "Mr Emmanuel".) His son's name is often given the illogical Bayern
Munich treatment, being half-anglicised as Emmanuel Filiberto, rather than
Emanuele Filiberto or Emmanuel Philbert.

The Italians are pretty consistent in italianising the British royal
family - la regina Elisabetta, il principe Filippo, il principe Carlo (but,
as noted, bizarrely "d'Inghilterra" rather than "di Galles"), la principessa
Anna.... In Monaco, they italianise il principe Ranieri, but leave his late
wife in English and the daughters in French!

I do not want to be rude, but you are begging the question.

One can just as easily argue that Prince Charles did order Diana's death
because no one would believe he would be so stupid, as Charles has "the
brains to know that such a risky strategy was highly dangerous,
unnecessary and counter productive in making Di a sort of saint figure."


Put it another way.

Lawyer accuses Charles of arranging the death of Diana Princess of Wales.

Charles responds, "why would I do that? Everyone knows I have the brains
to know that such a risky strategy was highly dangerous, unnecessary and
counter productive in making Di a sort of saint figure."

you could, but it doesn't change it being a dangerous and counter
productive strategy.
Overall, I believe there are a lot of people who like conspiracy
theories.
