My site’s guestbook got spammed within an inch of its life. I now use a Bravenet guestbook, because there I can control the flow of messages.

To recap, there were a few interesting posts in the last guestbook:

JCM – 10. August 2005

I feel that HM The Queen snubbed the newly created Duchess of Cornwall. First of all, HM could have arranged for security had she chosen to attend the civil ceremony; however, she claimed she did not wish to upstage Camilla; secondly, at the formal reception at Windsor Castle, HM The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh hardly took the time for “family photos” before hurrying off in their automobile. From all appearances, it is obvious that there is no love lost on the part of HM toward her new daughter-in-law, Camilla. It is my understanding, based on English law, that the wife of a monarch (King) will wear the title Queen, regardless of the style that she has selected, and also technically, Camilla is Princess of Wales, regardless of public opinion and feelings for the late Diana, Princess of Wales. Regardless of the feelings of the Royal Family for the late Princess Diana, I know that William and Harry will always love their mother, and no stepmother will ever alter those feelings.

A couple of not-so-cheerful posts…

Shame on you for such a biased site….you barely mention the mother of our future King…..and when you do it is to insult her and her family.Do you really think that no one remembers Diana, Princess of Wales? Camilla is a trollop….an adulterer, a manipulative, scheming hussy of the worst kind. Charles is a weak, selfish, silly boy, who should never be King.
C & C have made a sordid laughing stock of The British Royal Family. They have embarassed HM The Queen and humiliated William and Harry. I have no idea why you would lavish such praise on them….they are not fit for decent society.

Why have you airbrushed Diana, Princess of Wales?, you refer to her Lady Diana Spencer…….not right…..and make some very snide remarks regarding her and her family….as mother of our future King, William, it is decidedly “tacky” of you to treat her in such a shoddy fashion. Camilla Parker Bowles…now Duchess of Cornwall was the PoW’s mistress for years…even during his and her marriages, and yet you choose not to menion this unsavoury fact. If you are going to have a website dedicated to the British Royal Family….may I suggest you be more honest and upfront and not treat those who view it as though they were idiots.

I responded: This site mentions Diana as “Princess of Wales” TWICE. Read all of the obituary, please.

This previous post also inspired me to write “Glass Houses”.

Everything said about Camilla – or Charles – can justly be said of Diana. I am not overly thrilled about the latest marriage. It could’ve happened differently, but it didn’t. There isn’t a way to stop it or change it, and for heaven’s sake, Charles needs some peace for once. How long can we go on bashing him? Or Camilla for that matter? Everyone wants Diana’s praises sung, or that there should be no criticism of her at all. So be it. But let’s have that all around! Live and let live.

And please, the next time you want to rant in the guestbook, remember to read ALL of what I write, so you can at least be accurate in what you talk about.

I do not treat anyone who comes to this site as an “idiot”, as this Denison person says. I fully expect intelligent conversation and debate from those who choose to view this website and my opinions. The idiots are the ones who expect their side of the argument to be the only choice, and berate you for your own personal thoughts.
