I personally thought Camilla seemed a bit awkward and doddering in the wedding fotage, like she didn't quite have her balance. She certainly didn't seem graceful. The Royal's seem so antiquated in this day and age that I don't pay much attention to them beyond the snipettes I see on the news.
That said, I grew up during the era of "Charles and Diana" and it was kind-of hard not to be aware of the "Royal Family". Someone said that Charles' father was the one who didn't approve of Camilla. He could have saved the whole world a bunch of heartache and/or tabloid fodder by allowing Charles to marry her to begin with. Now it's come full circle and Charles is finally marrying her after about 20 yrs. of scandel about the "Royal's"
Why so many people waste their energies caring about this handfull of inbred people, I'll never fathom. I'm guessing that after Charles rule (if it ever comes to pass), the Royal family will be done with the public (through legislature or just plain apathy). The bloodline will still exist obviously, though I see it dying a slow public death (o'kay maybe part-way through the oldest son's life- Harry?). Then again, I live in America so my thoughts are not based on an Englander's facts-of-life, just someone observing from afar.
