King Charles, Queen Camilla And Princess Diana by haconjy(m): 8:42pm On Sep 09, 2022
In the early 1970s she was introduced to the young Prince Charles. According to Jonathan Dimbleby, who wrote a biography of the prince, "she was affectionate, she was unassuming, and - with all the intensity of first love - he lost his heart to her almost at once".

But the timing was not right. Charles was still in his early 20s and pursuing a career in the Navy. He set off on an eight-month deployment overseas in late 1972. And while he was away, Andrew proposed to Camilla, and she accepted. Why not wait for Charles to ask? Friends have speculated she simply never saw herself as Queen material.

However spurned Charles might have felt, they continued to be a part of each other's lives. They moved in the same social circles, Charles and Andrew played polo together, and the couple asked Charles to be godfather to their first child, Tom. Photographs of Charles and Camilla at polo meets show a relaxed intimacy.


By the summer of 1981, Charles had met and proposed to the young Lady Diana Spencer. Still Camilla was a part of his life. In Diana: Her True Story, author Andrew Morton detailed how Diana almost called off the wedding two days before it was due to take place after finding a bracelet Charles had had made for Camilla engraved with the letters "F" and "G" - their pet names for each other were Fred and Gladys.

That Diana struggled with Camilla's relationship with her husband is without question. Charles insisted that they only rekindled their romance when his marriage had "irretrievably broken down". But as Diana so memorably stated in the now-discredited 1995 Panorama interview "there were three of us in this marriage".

As both Charles and Camilla's marriages deteriorated, some of the headlines were excruciating, perhaps none more so than the details of a late night phone call secretly recorded in 1989 and made public four years later. Charles's expressed wish to be Camilla's tampon made clear the level of intimacy between them.

YOU ALL NEED TO DIG DEEP INTO HISTORY TO TRULY UNDERSTAND WHY YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ALL THESE BRITISH MONARCHS AND THEIR KIDS.

(1) The main purpose of colonising was to exploit the African continent of its resources, market and labour. In this case, Britian on Nigeria and the queen gave them funding from their treasury of slave trading Africans to invest in The Niger company.

(2) Colonisers were racist to Nigerians (Africans)

(3) Colonisers treated their subordinates or equal Africans with hate, zero respect and paid them less.

(4) The Colonisers had special cadets trained to carry out their bidding of exploitation in Africa. E.g Buhari had high military trainings overseas and in Nigeria.

(5) Colonisers taught us politics.

(6) These cadets and subordinates fought for our independence as it so happens that they were the most educated Nigerians but they had also learnt exploitation and evil capitalism informally along the way.

(7) These African cadets and subordinates of European education grab power, exploit and capitalise on the African people.

(8.) Nigerians were too busy fighting each other and failed to revolt against the British to get back all what they lost. (That's why all our sculptures are still in UK till date lol) The British saw remains of Colonialism but without their political interference and so them no put mouth in wetin them teach us. That is, they're still getting our exports for cheap. Their companies are still mining our natural resources. We're still getting poor quality imports for more and it hasn't stopped for a day.

Whatever you see today in Nigeria with Buhari or Tinubu either divide and rule method or using uneducated side against educated ones, Europeans did it best to us.

All Africans need to unlearn a lot of things.
