Then I hear interviews with Diana's former 'man servant' or whatever the heck he is called, sighting the abysmal treatment of Diana, in effect just a vehicle for some heirs to the throne. Time will tell re Charles, meanwhile I'll go off and argue with myself about him as King.
I'm fairly neutral on the monarchy. I'm not fussed if they retire tomorrow, or if they're around for another thousand years. There's certainly a part of the population that follows them with keen interest. They seem both uninteresting and inoffensive to me.
As to Charles and Di, I suspect there's only two people who really know who did what to who, and one of them is gone. There's plenty of scuttlebutt from supposed insiders. Who knows ? I never followed it much, but they both seemed pretty unhappy, and they won't the first nor the last couple who stuffed up their first marriage.
