So clearly a good patriotic Briton would remove Andrew Parker-Bowles from the scene.
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

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.

Trust my rage
So the sin isn't the divorce, but the remarriage? I guess I knew that, but it's interesting to me that Diana's death somehow makes it okay for Charles to marry his longtime girlfriend. OTOH, I guess that sounds just like a historical novel.

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
The divorce is just not recognized. In the eyes of the church, no such thing, never happened. So Camilla is still married, as was Charles up until Diana died. There's a fairly solid logic to it, even if it does produce some odd situations.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Brenda!! You are a corset dealer. You gave me a taste and now I must have more corsetry.

Was just reading The Guardian's stories. Charles is technically a widower, so he's clear.
Personally, I've always thought Camilla was better looking than Diana, who had this big-eyed, "If I keep smiling, maybe they won't hurt me" look to her.

On the contrary, Charles had an elaborate P.R. "See, my girlfriend's not so bad" campaign going that was thwarted when Diana died, causing a wave of anti-Camilla feeling. So Diana's death probably set back the marriage by several years.
Nowadays, Britons think "Eh, whatever", so Charles won't be endangering the Throne by marrying his popsy.

Americans, otoh, bizarrely fascinated.

Oddly, I saw some of that today. I admit to having been baffled.
But then, Diana didn't like horses, so I always thought she was a bit of a twit, and Charles a fool for marrying her.

Of course. We don't have kings and queens, so we have to worship Hollywood stars instead.
We're just as fascinated with Brad and Jennifer. (As a collective, that is; individually, many of us have never forgiven Brad for the time he bit our sister's moose.)

What is even happening?

My guess is as many of us as not are used to hearing, "What God has joined together, let no man put asunder," in the wedding liturgy.
