Can an affair ever have a happy ending?

when there partners were chosen for them by necessity not love and divorce was harder...

tbh, less bad to have an affair than beheading to get the next in the sack.

The modern royal family I think did get a hard deal. People were vile about charles and camilla...and it had a lasting impact on her title and role.

Wasn't Diana chosen for Charles? That's the way I heard it. He wanted Camilla. And he was the one that I presume people are talking about when they talk about it being OK for royals.

I don't know about the beheading, we all like a bit of gore and to see someone who is socially better than us, being given a right good thrashing, keeps the oiks happy.
The damn royals breed so fast we can lose a few of them and not worry about it anyway. H 8th probably had the right idea, Britain certainly wouldn't be the same if he didn't.

Being in the royal family is a right PITA, they've got to be allowed some amusement. Besides, it's almost a family hobby going back hundreds of years.

Isn't that a bit judgemental

I don't move in your exalted circles, so heard nowt Charlie had plenty of opportunity to marry Cammy before she got married and started breeding. It suited him to have her as his maitresse en titre, and clearly it suited her, her husband and her children.

I'm sure she'll be back when she has anything to report. Her position is at stalemate while he's on holiday. Let's hope they are both using the time apart to consider their respective situations.

Actually I believe she already knows the outcome - he gave a big clue when he said he would miss her if she made him choose between her and his wife.

I also know that he will be very hurt if I walk away

to mean you had discussed this possibility.

Edit: Yes I was sad enough to go searching for it! Thought I'd lost the plot at first lol.
