camillagate

so, i have a new temporary obsession.  and it's camillagate.

for some reason princess diana popped into my head during lunch this afternoon, so i decided to pull some articles on her.  which lead me to the affair between prince charles and camilla.  which lead me to the term "camillagate" (which i love).  which then informed me that, in fact, a 6 minute tape had been released exposing an intimate bed time conversation between charles and camilla that made it clear the two were having an affair.

around the time of all this, i was a little girl and i'm pretty sure my parents weren't going to keep me posted on the sexy-scandalous details of the royal break-up...or even make me aware of what an affair was.

at this point in time, the internet is my friend.  and i was fortunate enough to find the text of the telephone conversation.


...this picture will make more sense once you read further.  so, read further.

to anyone interested, the full text can be found here: camillagate tape

my favorite part...

Charles: Anyway you know that's the sort of thing one has to beware of. And
         sort of feel one's way along with - if you know what I mean.

Camilla: Mmmm. You're awfully good feeling your way along.

Charles: Oh Stop! I want to feel my way along you, all over you and up and
         down you and in and out...

Camilla: Oh!

Charles: Particularly in and out!

Camilla: Oh. that's just what I need at the moment.

Charles: Is it?

At this point the scanner enthusiast speaks over the couple to record the 
date

Scanner Enthusiast: December 18th

Camilla: I know it would revive me. I can't bear a Sunday night without you.

Charles: Oh, God.

Camilla: It's like that programme Start the Week. I can't start the week without you.

Charles: I fill up your tank!

Camilla: Yes, you do

Charles: Then you can cope.

Camilla: Then I'm all right

Charles: What about me? The trouble is I need you several times a week.

Camilla: Mmmm, so do I. I need you all the week. All the time.

Charles: Oh. God. I'll just live inside your trousers or something. It would be
         much easier!

Camilla: (laughing) "what are you going to turn into, a pair of knickers?

Both laugh

Camilla: Oh, You're your'e going to come back as a pair of knickers.

Charles: Or, God forbid a Tampax. Just my luck! (Laughs)

Camilla: You are a complete idiot (Laughs) Oh, what a wonderful idea.

Charles: My luck to be chucked down the lavatory and go on and on forever
         swirling round on the top, never going down.

Camilla: (Laughing) Oh, Darling!

Charles: Until the next one comes through.

Camilla:  Oh, perhaps you could come back as a box.

Charles: What sort of box?

Camilla: A box of Tampax, so you could just keep going.

Charles: That's true.

Camilla: Repeating yourself...(Laughing) Oh, darling I just want you now.


what do you remember about this point in time?  what are your thoughts on camilla?
