Do you think Camilla should be crowned queen?
Watch this postAs the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary today, has Camilla won us all over with her style, substance and support?
Ten years ago 7% of the British public thought Camilla should be queen. In a similar poll 10 years later 50% of those polled said they now think Camilla should be queen when Prince Charles comes to the throne.
The past decade has seen perceptions of the former Camilla Parker Bowles transformed to a valued member of the royal “firm” whom half the nation would accept as queen.
It would appear that Prince Charles would like her to be crowned with him by his side and also that Prince William and Prince Harry have accepted her role.
What are your views? Has Camilla won over your heart?

Diana was undoubtedly used by the Royal family, which lost the Royals a lot of public respect and left a bad taste. But Diana was hardly a saint, she did seem to court controversy. Sad, unnecessary ending to a young woman's life though.
There are always two sides to every story and we can only quote what we have read in the the papers at that time, but that doesn't make it fact.
Both are vile, what they did to Diana was a crime of the people.
Both represent old school, its time to reach out to the new generations of our country
which would be to have Prince William as our king. Modern, right age, right attitude, time to carry on what our queen has done so far.... yet in light of an ever changing world.
Charles and Camilla will just time warp us all backwards.
Sorry but you did ask...
I have been having a discussion with one of our contemporaries and we have come to an end as we cannot agree hey no problems that's democracy right!
As for what they did together behind Diana's back was absolute Treachery. I mean they were seeing each other well before Diana emerged onto the scene. Then on his honeymoon he is at one of the boat YKW was at t he other end. NOT on.
Then after Diana was assassinated by as we all know who they were , bang after that they can come into the daylight , but i will never accept those two being King&Queen as long as i live.
Blimey you made me laugh... yet you are so right from my point of view. We should not just take what is thrust into our heads for the sake of being English opps sorry British.
Times have changed and we need new blood to stand as heads of our lovely country, young new thinking blood that will be in tune with the modern world. The two misfits monkey ears and his ashtray of a wife need to disappear and let someone else take the challenge..
Now then i have been reading almost all of our silversurfer's comments on this subject and there is one underlining theme i wish to challenge and that is for those who have remarked by saying
"" Do you know Diana was not cleaner than clean""
Well i always speak from the heart and my reply to all who made that comment i put this to you i partially agree with you ( steady on don't get overexcited) What i do disagree with you is the facts yes she did become a bit tasty after everything was exposed ,what and why i was remarking on was that when she was just a slip of of a thing at the nursery this when old stiff ears hand in pocket guy started the courtship whilst doing that he was already knocking the old hag off then!!!!
So as we all know he was doing it (her) before ,during ,and after that is what i cannot ,and will not stand of any future monarch . Though if one cares to read about our royal history you will find that it was rife back then ,nothing has changed today as some one keeps harping on about the 21st Century move on ! Garbage tradition is tradition and it should be upheld otherwise get shut of the whole lot ! So i believe again iv'e answered my critic's ,Have a nice day folks..
I have to say I would not describe Princess Diana as a 'slip of a girl' when she started dating Prince Charles, I believe she was twenty, although she was from a privileged background. I will accept she may have been a little naive, as he first dated her sister in 1977 and didn't really take an interest in her until about 1980. However, he had started to date Camilla in 1970. That romance came to an end when Prince Charles entered the navy in 1971 and she subsequently married Andrew Parker Bowles (who had had a relationship with Princess Anne). It is reported that Prince Charles and Camilla started an affair in 1986 despite both being married. I doubt if he is the first or last man to be unfaithful, the same as Diana was not the first or last woman to also be unfaithful. Is it a chicken and egg thing? What I find difficult to understand is why does this make him unfit to be King?
She an old bag lady keep
Her in the back ground
That was to have an Adulterous afffair with the future King of England. It was done so in an open manner that was flagrant and outrageous that everyone with a modicum of grey matter knew what was going on except for that poor lass DIANA . There are far to many to list but here are a few Whilst he was on official duty handing back HONGKONG to the CHINESE that excuse for a woman was on the boat as was Charlie & Diana when the party was over he toodled to bed not Diana's , guess?
There are numerous occasions back home when he would slink off , it's a well known fact ,to put it how i describe it is thus ( He was "at it " BEFORE DURING AND AFTER )" that is what drove Diana into the arms of other's because of the typical PHILANDERING that has been the norm since 1066 the royals of this country hold nothing special in life ,and never will ,as for the questioner he/she asked for people's views well these are mine ,Should there be any interest in the future ruling's of this great country i sincerley wish ,pray that the next King should be
WILLIAM not the womaniser charly and his moll i cant bring myself to say her name . Well i will cut this short as my dinner is calling .
I can assure you I am quite capable of thinking for myself and making my own choices, which is why I chose to 'move on' and live in the '21st century'.
Yes, let her be crowned.
