Leveson is an attack on a free press and the ability of newspapers to commoditise the private lives of others, and sexualise underage girls for profit.

I thought he wasn't allowed to marry Camilla because she's a Cathoilc.

He wasn't allowed to marry Camilla because she was married.
At that time.

Ah yes, the old "But you're already married!" ploy.

What about Leveson?
I wasn't aware that it covered taste.

Thank you White Star!

Aye, it's hard going and she's only about halfway through. We had a plan of medication and pain relief worked out with our rheumatologist who then retired, and the new chap has decided he's not interested and dismissed her entirely. Amongst other things he said, "I know I've only seen you once but I won't be seeing you again." I've complained and we're hopefully being referred elsewhere.

She had chosen medication that allowed us to try for a baby but wasn't the strongest. Once she's given birth she'll be able to go on the strongest medication which is the difference between being able to walk, care for the baby and perhaps even go back to work, or hobbling around on crutches and being bed-ridden. I know you understand this all too well - just wish our bloody rheumatologist did!

Sounds to me hounding (intrusion of privacy at an emotional time) of the would be parents and the potential offspring (in advance of being born).

Mores the pity.

It's certainly the child's future assuming the country remains a Monarchy but what has them taking the throne got to do with the future of our country? What the future holds for the UK will be decided by events such as the referendum on Scottish Independence, what our relationship with the EU becomes, what sort of government is elected and the rise of other economic powers such as China and Brazil and similar issues. So the future of our country certainly isn't a reason to take any more interest in this pregnancy IMO than that of any other "celeb" which is basically what these young royals are.

It's just more "celeb" culture that manages to rope in those who would ordinarily shy away from taking an interest in the Beckham's, Jordan's and whoever else you care to think of.

Sounds like you've got a diamond woman there.

Spot on.

Being the UK's monarch does not require any special skills these days beyond that of not killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Well said.

And like any celeb that doesn't like the press intrusion into their private lives, they have the means to remove themselves from the public eye, if they so choose.
