there is a lively discussion at the dish about the weird vibe between Charles and Camilla. i didn't notice until i'd watched videos a couple of times but there was a cold, dismissive air towards Camilla. watching for any hint of affection or interaction between her and charles and then the QUeen 
who barely acknowledged her and didn't even give her the cursory kiss, i'm not "feeling the love"

flip through some of these and pay close attention to the queens arrival clip especially the end.
KATE BETTER WATCH HER BACK

*quotes from article (my thoughts)
*Her Anna Valentine outfit was champagne and pale blue, but her complexion was decidedly sallow. Not even the huge hat worn by the Duchess of Cornwall could hide her discomfort at the Abbey yesterday as Diana’s son was married.
*It didn’t help that her hair was a shade too light.(MEOW ;D But more crucially, yesterday marked a symbolic, yet deeply important, repositioning for Camilla at the heart of the Royal Family. The glamorous newlyweds have instantly taken centre stage, relegating Prince Charles and the former Mrs Camilla Parker Bowles to a mere supporting role.
*in the real world, Camilla — ever the strategist — is already taking steps to ensure that she and Charles remain the pivotal couple at the heart of the Royal Family. Indeed, she has used William and Kate’s wedding as the opportunity to expand her sphere of influence. Her fingerprints were all over the guest list — especially in excluding long-standing friends of Diana. She also had a say in the seating plan in Westminster Abbey. And she has noticeably set about making herself ‘indispensable’ to Kate
*Above all, William is a realist and sees his stepmother as a wily figure who has known the Royal Family long enough to be aware of all the potential pitfalls
(OH I HOPE SO, i hope he knows what he's dealing with)
*Avoiding ‘enemies’ could also be why the Spencer family were — surprisingly — seated on the bride’s side of the Abbey with the Middletons, when tradition would have placed them on William’s side with the Royal Family.
*'Camilla shrewdly sees the best course as making a staunch ally of Kate and offering to be her sounding board to help ensure that the young couple do not encroach more than necessary on Charles’s territory'
(she needs to give that up and remember that deafening silence that greeted their arrival at the abbey, the public doesn't like her or him either for that matter or better yet remember how scared she was when the limo was attacked that night, the look on her face was like she knew they were coming for her
JMO)
*For Camilla, the issue of being in the limelight is central to Charles’s contentment. The loss of it, as William becomes a figure of increasing fascination to the world, will trouble him greatly. In recent times, this strangely insecure man, who became agitated when crowds flocked to see Diana instead of him
(i've been wondering that, do you think chuck will be jealous of their popularity > DUH YEAH he's a big pouty, immature baby, i love the queen but she did a really horrible job with her sons
, LOVE Anne but them boys are just worthless IMO)
*her husband has agonised over a likely diminution in what he considers to be a ‘proper’ level of public attention now that there is a glamorous, new, young royal couple on the stage. Of course all this makes life difficult for William
(poor william, hope he's strong enough to protect himself and kate, maybe it's a good thing they're far, far away from the manipulations of "the firm")
*now more than ever, Camilla will find herself doing what she has done for the past 30 years — consoling, comforting and reassuring the Prince of Wales. So will the glamorous newlyweds inevitably shunt her and Charles out of the spotlight? Don’t bet on it. Camilla has taken on a young and glamorous woman once before, and won
i really, really, really, hope kate is watching her back, i don't trust camilla as far as i can throw her and i don't think the queen likes her either JMO

Anyways, here I go again.
