For a time, my bank called me by my first name when I phoned them. I felt like a patronized old lady in a care home. They don't call me anything now. Other customers must have complained.
@Dovefromabove I am surprised to read your opinions on adultery. Many people do indeed marry the wrong person, if that makes them unhappy it isn’t necessary for them to jump into bed with someone else? They have options and cheating and lying are not really acceptable. I have a friend who cheated on her husband, I don’t hate her but I think less of her. If her new man cheats she won’t have my sympathy.
Only my opinion but to deliberately hurt someone is wrong. King or commoner the rules are the same.
Charles was hurt first. He loved Camilla before he met Diana but the Palace didn't consider her suitable. He was sent off with the Navy and when he came back she had married Parker Bowles. He must have been very unhappy. Time went on and he was under pressure to marry and produce an heir. The love of his life was no longer available and Diana was beautiful and suitable. I don't think he ever really loved her, not the way he loved Camilla. Diana wasn't the only victim in all this, Charles was too. I'm glad things worked out for Charles and Camilla and I'm sad that they didn't work out for Diana.

@debs64 ... very often adultery does not involve cheating and lying ... it can take quite some time from the acknowledgement that a marriage has broken down until a divorce is finalised ... in my case it was nearly three years, and I was already in my 40s ....... in some cases I've known it has been five years, when one of the couple has refused to divorce. The law has changed recently ... but to judge someone for not waiting until their divorce before beginning a new relationship is unspeakably cruel.
Does anyone really think that when their marriage crumbled so conspicuously, that Charles and Diana each thought that the other was still in a loving committed relationship with them? Of course they didn't ... each knew that the marriage was over in all but name. It's unbelievable that each went home to the other and was all lovey dovey ... we saw the coldness between them and the sulky faces. The relationship was as dead as a doornail but Charles had again been bullied into believing that he had to carry on pretending. The QM's influence again, given her horror of divorce and what had happened to her family.
And of course there are many folk who live together without marriage ... is that to be condemned too? It is considered by some to be a sin just as adultery is. Believe it or not adultery is not a crime.

A perfect example of the manipulation and dictatorial nature of The Royal Family.
It's not just royal families that can be manipulative and dictatorial ... sadly it's part of human nature ... and many folk make wrong choices and are unhappy because of it. The family usually think they're helping someone to make the right choice ... they don't want a person to be unhappy ... but we're all human and we all make mistakes. Kindness, understanding and forgiveness are the most important thing in all families.

Regrets, not so many.
The way some people are talking on here, most of the human race are guilty of terrible crimes.
