I read with some amusement that the Queen refuses to meet Camilla Parker-Bowles because she considers that lady to be an adulteress.

With whom has Mrs P-B committed adultery? Why, with Prince Charles of course - the Queen's son and heir.

So is the Queen of the opinion that it is perfectly acceptable for a man to commit adultery (or as some would have it, compulsory, for royal males past and present).

This is sexism at its worst, and Camilla should thank her lucky stars she was born in this century, or she may have lost her head over Charles in more ways than one.
