Yes I agree they should have been allowed to marry. Same with Margaret and Peter Townsend. If they had realised the error of their ways, it would have been their decision., they wouldn't have been forced into it. I suppose all those divorces have taught the Royals that they should just do that. In the past, it wouldnt have mattered as they would have just put up with it and lived in separate palaces and had mistresses but not divorced.
I feel like actually it wasn't focused on anyone or anything. A whole season of fillers and not much happening. Very dissapointed
Also they had jewels sewn into their under clothing which acted like a bulletproof vest
Quite. I think only one daughter was shot at all in the initial melee. Maria I think. Bloody awful, you can’t even imagine.
This is sort of how I feel about it really, I feel like time is racketing by in the background but you miss so much of what is actually happening! Also, i feel they’ve overblown the ‘poor sad queen’ angle.. it just seemed to go on and on
I was surprised at just how graphic that scene was.
But Camilla didn't want to marry Charles in the 70s. She was in love with Andrew Parker Bowles who was notoriously unfaithful. She went out with Prince Charles to try to make him jealous. She didn't want to be Queen. She wanted a relaxed upper class country life with dogs and horses and didn't aspire to the fame and pressure of Royal life.
And these reasons are arguably why she has since actually fitted in very nicely into Royal life, worked hard at her engagements and just quietly and resolutely got on with it. She didn't do it for the title or fame etc. She did it for the man she loves.
Can I skip the ep and watch ep 7 without getting confused? I presume it's a stand alone ep like ep 3?It’s very very hard to watch and yes I think you could give it a miss and not end up confused. There’s references to it but if you know the story anyway, you’ll be fineI'm not particularly enjoying s5 but s3 and s4 were also weaker in comparison to s1 and s2 but enjoyed s5, ep 3 a lot! I've been putting off ep 6 for a week now and don't think I feel mentally strong enough to watch it esp because I've read a lot into the Romanvs family and what happened to them. I don't want to watch it play put on screen.
Then you’d never even have known who she was and you’d never have had William and Harry either and on and on.

Yes that is true, but maybe both of them would have been happier, and more to the point, alive. William and Harry (and Camilla's children) would have been other people. Thats the same with everyone. We are only here through a twist of fate!
It's also flashed back to near the end of the episode.
sometimes I have to remind myself this is mostly fiction. Who really knows how their relationship was. His own life is complicated enough so probably the two of them got caught up in their own stuff.
