The Weekend Australian

12-13 February 2005

While there will be no real legal difference in the constitutional position of Prince Charles after his nuptials, and while the Queen has been an admirable public figure, we will now be a heartbeat away from inheriting a royal couple whose whole relationship has been based on hypocrisy and disloyalty.

Camilla refused to marry Charles but carried on an adulterous relationship with him after her marriage to another, then Charles (in line to be head of the Church of England) married and continued the relationship, betraying his wife as well as Camilla’s husband.

Yet the monarchists assure us that no Australian could ever match the outstanding personal qualities of the members of this foreign royal family. It’s time for a change.
