Hate to break it to you, but from the moment she became wife of the Prince of Wales, the possibility of Camilla becoming Queen Consort existed. We should all try to keep up with these vital matters.

There are experts who parse these matters closely, will pronounce precisely on usages like Their Majesties King Charles and Queen Camilla, and be largely ignored except by Mayors and such who actually have to get over their stage-fright and speak to them. The rest of us likely won't face the question, but we all have the right to be as rude or polite as we choose. And take the heat for it.

It's a title she'll acquire by marriage. Like your second wife gets to call herself Mrs. soft if she chooses. I'm sure Camilla and her hubby will think of a usage they'd prefer, and let us know. There was a time when the Heir could not have divorced at all nor married a divorced woman (one of the wonderful ironies hereditary monarchies give us, considering how the Faith Chuck will become Defender of originated). But times have changed. You're not suggesting they shouldn't have I hope.

Danish girls on Finch, danmand how dare you keep this information from me!

Her Majesty Camilla's ascension aside; in Italy the royal family helped the fascists seize power - their cousins in Great Britain nearly did the same. There is a new film coming out called The King's Speech; it looks like typical royal loving bullshit. Even with Guy Pearce playing king Edward VIII.
Interesting topic since Eddy-8 normally figures as the foolishly self centred "weak link" in the pre War Britain story with Winston as the brave, far seeing crusader who saves the world from evil, with a can can line of showgirls dressed as spitfires in the backgroud and Dame Vera Lynn providing soundtrack. (Actually, not too far from the truth, barring the can can girls).

Not the monarchy's finest moment and I wonder how that is going to be sold as a movie. Possibly as a "love story" between Eddy-8 and Wallis Simpson with no political background whatsoever.

It is my understanding, as how King George VI overcame a really frightful stutter with the aid of some very inovative clinical techniques.

The movie, however, unsuprisingly does apparently use a fair amount of "creative license."


Opening this Friday the 26th
