Wow. Are these things true? Mistress and separate lodgings for Camilla? Is this how it will descend for Kate and Meghan?
I believe these things, separate homes and mistresses, to be true. Its just how the upper classes and Royals live. They have a lot of spare time, no jobs etc. so they have to do something.
It has been said that both Andrew and Edward were sired by close friends of the Queen but her husband, of course, would be considered their father. Seeing as Andrew greatly resembles Porchies children, I don't doubt it. Sorry, cannot remember the name of the close friend related to Edward.
We all know Charles and Camilla were going behind Dianas' back for years, indeed Charles told her that he wasn't going to be the first Prince of Wales without a mistress! So much for his morals, no different from a tomcat as my Mother would have said.
It is certainly well known that Charles doesn't like the mess and noise of small children and is a bit of a fusspot. Camilla has six or so young grandkids, had an addition to her house for the children and nannies, loves being with her own kids, grandchildren and doesn't fuss about a bit of dirt, dogs or noise.
That's just life.
As for how things will go for the younger Royals, time will tell.
Looking at the marriages of the Queens four children, doesn't give a lot of hope but Princess Annes' two children have managed to stay married and have children, so far.
I just wish them well, hope they're happy and hope Meghan stops the messy bun!
