I guess Prince Charles is even more low-class than I thought. Now his spin doctors have produced a book claiming that Diana suffered from borderline personality disorder, and her mental illness was the reason for the divorce - not Charles' piggish philandering.
Bloody hell, is there no limit to this man's selfishness? Trying to justify his blatant infidelity with his trashy mistress by calling
his dead ex-wife a psychotic...whom he put up with
"longer than most men" would have.What a loser. Diana did resort to some very desperate measures because she loved a snobbish, selfish, cheating bastard who did not love her.
At times she did break under the strain of being stranded in a loveless marriage while performing her royal duties as the most-photographed, highly visible woman in the world. That's a lot of pressure for a young lady who was not born and raised as royality, yet she adapted quite elegantly.Diana was not a psychotic, and she was not the idiot that Charles made her out to be. It simply would not have been possible for her to evolve into such a fashion icon while consistently attending royal and charitable events, not if she was truly mentally ill. She WAS desperately unhappy and ashamed about her husband's public and steamy little affair with a horse-faced woman
who also happened to be married. My God, can you imagine having the whole world listen to a recording of your husband panting to his girlfriend that he wanted to be her tampon?? How terrible for her.I guess I feel so strongly about this because first of all, I adored Princess Diana and also, I seem to find myself in similar circumstances at this time(minus the royal part, of course). So next time I'll just come right out and say what I'm thinking instead of beating around the bush.
Charles, you're a low-class loser.

The sad fact is people use mental illness to justify any number of behaviors that society doesn't deem approiate. The illness can be their own or they use another's mental illness to somehow made their acts OK. It is sad. There is right, wrong, and gray areas but - ill or not, if your reasoning is compromised.. get help, If it is someone you know (or propose to love), help them get help and support.
Some do not really listen or have any intention of following those vows they promise. The situation you talked about was a sad state of events all the way 'round.

How sad that a man with so much wealth and "breeding*" would feel the need to stoop to such depths to bolster his own self-esteem and/or justify his long-term relationship with "the other woman."
His spin doctors have apparently forgotten about the two children, who consider themselves HER sons as well as his. Death does not change that relationship, nor does it change the fact that they are "part" of her, too, and anything he says against her may damage their self-esteem as well.
The Beatles said "Money Can't Buy You Love." Obviously, it (money) doesn't go too far toward compassion, decency and good old common sense.
And it's obvious that with everything he DOES have, he didn't end up with any "family jewels."
*or "overbreeding"

Perhaps it was the IN-breeding that caused the Royals to be so disfunctional? Someone should have taken a dive into that gene pool. However, in the real world, too many people use many illnesses as excuses for their behavior. Alcoholics, drug addicts, pedophiles you name it. Conversely, there are almost as many people who blame themselves for everything that they do in life when, in actuality, it isn't something they can control. As with many barometers of what's "normal" or acceptable in our current (or other historical) society, one's ability to control one's actions, and be accountable for them has no real objective measure. Those who would use it as an excuse, will. Those who feel they have no excuse will suffer more.

I have found, coming from a poor working class family but moving around the U.S. and meeting all kinds of people, that some really, really poor and some really, really rich have the exact same trashy lifestyles. Too much time on their hands.
Money doesn't give you "breeding" (and there certainly has been too much in-breeding in that particular royal family), I know working class people with loads more class than that clan.
Charles is a chump, and his mother knows it, which is why she is clinging to that throne until he dies of old age. And he has just shown the entire world his true colors by trashing the late Diana.
Thank goodness for the Revolutionary War!

Lets remember Diana got very good at spin, also.
She had to, to survive. She leaked to the press, and it seems the Royals will never be the same. Let Charles publish a book, nothing can take back the cell phone calls between him and CPB, made public.
This is the end of the thread.
