Diana and All, I have made my protest on Arachne once before (only once?) about us women falling low enough to judge people by their looks - or perceived lack of! I think we have all been astounded by the male sex's ease of dismissing women over 25 with epithets pertaining to animals, or to the dimensions of said person, and I am getting incensed by the way we women can do it so easily to our own. For goodness' sake - criticise whatever you like about anyone's morals, ethics etc - remembering that one should be careful incase the criticism comes back to haunt the criticiser - but desist from bringing looks into it!
Personally, I am glad that the Prince and Mrs Parker Bowles have married. I thought she looked absolutely stunning in both the outfits, and I would only presume that the photographs which were seen and prompted one correspondent to liken the headgear to a bowl of spaghetti (or some such) were not very good photographs at all. As someone alse has also said, maybe if they had been allowed to marry 35 years ago, a lot of heartache would have been avoided. I am sure they will be happy from now on, and I certainly wish them all the happiness in the world - I think they deserve it, after all this time.
