THANK goodness "they" have, at long last, agreed to let Charles and Camilla marry. Camilla seems to be a kind and charming person and they are obviously caring and in love with each other.

She has quietly kept behind the scenes with no scandal and no nasty remarks to the papers. She has kept aloof and ladylike all these years and I am sure, with all the newspaper talk, she had every right to bite back. The public and press have made her suffer.

All right, so she is a divorcee - but isn't nearly every other one these days?

She has been loyal and loving to Charles, which must make his day.

I've had a long and loving marriage and found that magic word, love, makes the world go round. I am sure they have it too, so good luck to them.

Mrs B Barker,

St Stephen's Road,

Acomb, York.
