A BBC national headline in its website on Friday 18th September read:
‘I’m telling the truth’: Earl Spencer defends Diana book claims about Charles in BBC interview
I know whom I believe and it is not the adulterous King Charles!
Who can believe any man who mumbled a response in his ‘plummy’ voice when asked on the day of his engagement to Princess Diana if they were in love?
The interview is reported in these words :
An interviewer asked, “And are you in love?”
Diana’s Reply: “Of course.”
Charles’s Reply: “Whatever ‘in love’ means.”
I believe that it was well known in press circles that the young Diana was simply picked as a ‘broodmare’ by the Royal household to merely produce an heir!
She was explicitly described as a ‘broodmare’ by sections of the British press, and it is reported that she herself adopted the term when describing how she felt viewed by the Royal Family and the media. Diana used the term to describe how she felt the Royal Family and Prince Charles viewed her—solely as a functional means to secure the royal succession. She made the comment during secret audio recordings she made for biographer Andrew Morton. These tapes were recorded between May 1991 and February 1992 at Kensington Palace. In the transcripts, she noted that after fulfilling her ‘duty’ by giving birth to an heir and a spare (Prince William in 1982 and Prince Harry in 1984), she felt abruptly cast aside.
Prince Charles was asked by the officiating cleric:
‘Charles Philip Arthur George, wilt thou have this woman to thy wedded wife, to live together after God’s ordinance in the holy estate of matrimony? Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor, and keep her, in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all other, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?’
He answered: I will.’
His promise at his wedding to Diana was this:
‘I, Charles Philip Arthur George, take thee, Diana Frances, to my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part, according to God’s holy ordinance; and thereto I plight thee my troth.’
It was not long after the wedding that he resumed his adulterous liaison with the woman with whom he had been carrying on an immoral relationship for years, Mrs Camilla Parker Bowles.
Any man who can stand before the nation, the dignitaries of the ‘Church’ he now ridiculously claims to be the ‘Head’ of, and above all, claim to swear in the presence of God to Princess Diana, ‘I plight thee my troth’ or ‘I pledge to you my faithfulness and truth’, with no intention of remaining faithful to her, is not to be believed.
In truth, in keeping with the sinful traditions of the Royal household and of the irreligious times in which we live, we have a ‘King’ who is an adulterer married to an adulteress and whose word cannot be believed!
