It's a classic. In the U.S. it used to be called a Dutch-boy.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What is even happening?
my understanding was that the King could be divored but he coulen't, for reasons that remain unclear to me, marry a divorced woman. Or a commoner, maybe. Or a divorced commoner?
He could be divorced but couldn't remarry. Diana died, solving that problem.
If he marries a divorced woman, it's technically adultery because "Christian marriage is indissoluble." So he's sleeping with another man's wife.
Isn't Camilla's ex-husband now dead, too? If so, why can't she be Queen consort. If not, never mind.

Nope. He's still alive and kicking.

That answers that. Thanks, you two. For some reason, I thought he was dead, too. Maybe at one time, I just figured Charles and Camilla were waiting for him to kick, before marrying.

I still don't understand why they can't get married in the Church, but they can have a formal blessing for their marriage in the Church.
We sort-of disapprove, but oh, heck, go ahead you, crazy kids?

I think that pretty much sums it up. Marriage-Lite.

Trust my rage
So is it her divorce that's keeping them from getting married in teh church or his? Was he actually divorced? I think so, but I can't remember.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
His divorce, I believe, is no longer relevant. Hers is.
