Britain
Queen Camilla
2005-03-22
In the latest twist in a royal wedding saga that has been full of flip-flops, the British government revealed Monday that like it or not, Britons will have to get used to Queen Camilla. That's because Camilla Parker Bowles will, by law, automatically become queen when Charles is crowned. While the public has come around to supporting the marriage, opinion polls still show strong opposition to Parker Bowles taking the title of queen.
The Princess Diana supporters are stocking up on pitchforks, torches and scaling ladders even as we speak. Hell, my wife will be in front leading the charge, sigh.

#12   I think this Camilla would make a better queen.

I always wondered about that - what does Prince Charles see in Parker-Bowles anyway???

(she kinda reminds me of Mrs. Doubtfire)

#11  Dunno, Tom, the Brits would be better off scraping the monarchy. Canucks, Ozzies and Kiwis would have to rename Governor General to President or some such, probably not a big deal.

#8  Sad. Charles has no idea how to pick a queen. Now Abdullah, there's a guy who knows how to pic a queen.

#2  Britons are discovering (again) that monarchies operate independent of the wishes of their subjects. Us colonials figgered that out a while back...
