Answer 6

One of God's biggest Mistakes, making a man first. Since the beginning of time males have dominated the scene. Holding it over womens heads about how superior males are. Women could not vote, get jobs. they were barefoot and pregnant. Why forgive prince Charles and not princess Diana? I have the answer. Because he's a male.

Answer 7

It's called the double standard.  Men can do what they want but women cant.  Unfair isn't it???

Answer 8

Who says I forgive him? He sickens me. I'm glad the crowd at the chapel didn't applaud for him--they did for the Queen and the Princes.

Answer 9

Probably because they feel sorry for him after all he is stuck with Camilla for the rest of his life that should be punishment enough
