George, apparently is the leader of the free world. Assuming I am part of the free world, I don't remember having a say in that, and that either means that I am a captive, or the free world ain't that big.
Give me a monarchy which is merely just a colourful part of our history any day.

However, your are right, she is descended from some famous mistresses/lovers of the royal family.They laughed when I said I was going to be a comedian. They're not laughing now.

Another thing about the family tree I found was that we (Caucasians) are closer related to Negroes than certain Europeans.
Adolf would have loved thatanother blow to racism

Charles and Camilla are just two people who have feelings for each other. What they look like doesnt matter. If they have children doesnt matter although they wont. She will not be queen and its unlikely he will be king as protocol, which is something the royal family are guided by, will probably not permit. Protocol should not be disregarded as its one of the basic fabrics of our society and helps us to determine right from wrong amongst other things. All countries and governments have it and are guided by it in some shape or form and without it we'd be in a bit of a mess.
As to the commonwealth, it is recognised by most including the royal family that things are changing and while some member countries do not want a king or queen as head of state, others still do but it is up to the member concerned to decide for itself, not the queen. You want a republic, vote for it, its your choice, but dont knock the system in place or slag off its representatives, its not being forced upon you. Arguements for and against change however should surely be made in a rational and sensible manner and insults and name calling do not in my opinion constitute reasoned arguement.Change is always gradual and always necessary but it must have reason and purpose.
Incidentaly, I should point out that both Charles and the queen are much loved by most of the people in the Uk and are a genuine inspiration to many and Charles in particular who is a very caring and sensitive individual.
Im not knocking anyone here by the way, simply expressing my personal point of view as others have done so please guys do not take this personally.
