Good morning bloggers! It's a greyish wintery sunnyish morning here in the buzzing metropolis of Amsterdam. It's Friday. YES! My office-free day. So here I am, back at the computer, glued to the screen again and about to zap you with just one more amazing post...Calm down, jj, you're making a fool of yourself...
I've just checked the news on google, always my first stop once I'm online, and see to my amusement that the Detroit Free Press talks about the impending marriage of Charles and Camilla (see below) as "putting a happy ending to a romance that's bred controversy for more than a decade."
You call that a romance? I still think of it as a sordid affair.
Which just goes to show that my thinking is stuck in the Diana era and has never moved on. By now, C&C are probably just like any other couple living together. They may even love each other, who knows?
And while we're on the subject, I'm wondering how the people of Cornwall feel about having their regional name pinned to the lapels of Mrs. Camilla Parker Bowles. (She becomes the Duchess of Cornwall after the wedding on April 8). Cornwall, for anyone who doesn't know it, is a lovely area at the south-westernmost tip of Britain that for many centuries harboured aspirations to be independent. Prince Charles is the Duke there so I guess it won't come as too much of a surprise that his missus will be the Duchess.
What's your view on Charles and Di....er, sorry, Charles and Camilla?
Would you like to have been born into a Royal Family?
