Other British Royals and Relations

Huh. That’s too bad, I guess. Always a shame when a marriage breaks down.

I hope Charles Spencer gets some therapy, because this is his third divorce. While he says he chased women who were incapable of loving him, I feel like he isn't owning his share of the problems. He cheated on and dumped his second wife, he was reputed to be cheating on his first wife while she was in treatment for anorexia, he's made some lousy choices himself here, and he really needs to do some healing before hooking up with anyone else (though apparently he's dating Cat Jarman, sooooo...)

Diana struggled with relationships as well, but I did think that third time was the charm for Charles.

I imagine he's a charming conversationalist but a lousy husband. When you're the only thing in common with your three divorces...

He’s hired Baroness Fiona Shackleford to handle his divorce from Karen. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because she was King Charles’s lawyer in his divorce from Diana.

She also represented Andrew in his divorce. She does seem to do well for her clients.

He screwed the first two wives over. Dragged poor Victoria Lockwood to South Africa so he’d get the upper hand in the divorce.

Oh, man, I really hope he's not dating Cat Jarman. I don't see that lasting and then that will ruin their podcast! Also, I would think she would not be taken in by his charm and money. She has two teenaged sons, I believe.

The show of affection put on by the extended clan at Royal Ascot has been really nice to see. Everyone from the Middletons, to Sarah Ferguson, to William and his cousins looked to be having a fabulous time.

Is it just me or have they all seemed to grow closer since the Queen's passing, and maybe through the Sussex trials and tribulations and multiple health scares? Sarah Ferguson has had her own cancer battle to deal with in addition to what's been going on with Charles and Catherine.

Or maybe they've always been this way but it wasn't as noticeable when the Queen and Prince Philip were alive because they were more reserved in public?

I think it's really nice to see how much support William and Charles have from the extended crew and the tight knit group of friends they have cultivated over the years.

Yes, it seemed like everyone but Andrew was there. And no Peter Phillips, I don’t think?

Nice to see all the cousins getting along. And aunts and uncles, etc.
