KARMA STRIKES BACK AT CHARLES

Does anyone remember when Princess Di Married  the Prince of Wales?  From the outside  it looked like a fairytale marriage.  When, in fact, it was a nightmare from the git go.  How many bridegrooms would leave their betrothed alone in a dark room the night before their wedding, while schmoozing on the phone with his old girlfriend?  Apparently, Diana wanted to back out, but her sisters told her she had to go through with it.  She married a man who didn’t love her, and she knew it. If he’d kept it to himself and put on a good show, it wouldn’t have been so bad. But Charles treated her like dirt, divorced her, married Camilla, and thought he got away with it.  But he didn’t.  Because now, bad karma strikes back at Charles.

Karma strikes back at Charles. He treated Di badly, and now it's come back to haunt him.
Karma strikes back at Charles. His sons suffered from the way he treated their mother.

How can anyone believe that the sons of this disastrous union wouldn’t be somewhat psyched up?  Apparently, William was old enough to handle his mother’s miserable marriage, divorce,  and untimely death.  But Harry was just a little kid. At twelve years old, forced to march in a parade behind his mother’s coffin. It’s a miracle he ended up so well.

After the Oprah interview last week with Meghan and Harry, the British press went bonkers. How could Harry say such horrible things about his family on public television?  The question is, why wouldn’t he?   A victim should be able to tell his side of the story in the end.  And yes, Harry was a victim of his father’s narcissistic treatment of his mother.  Are we saying that people with money don’t have emotional problems? That if they do have them, they should be ashamed of themselves?

I have no idea why Charles was such a callous person. Maybe it went back to his Mom trying so hard to be a queen that she didn’t have much time for mothering. Not to mention dealing with a notoriously womanizing husband.  That’s the thing about karma.  It just goes on and on, echoing down through the centuries.

Maybe Harry and Meghan are trying to give their kids some good karma by moving to America.  I hope it works. Because bad karma is striking back at Charles right now.

WAKE ME WHEN IT’S OVER

Public hearings  in the U. S. House of Representatives impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump will begin next week. But I won’t  be tuning in.  I know it’s going to be upsetting and revealing and all that awful stuff, and I’m just not up for it.  We’re the greatest country in the world, and we should be proud of our politicians.  Instead, we’ve been subjected to three years of nasty, vicious politics and infighting.  I’m glad it’s finally coming to a head, but I don’t want to see or hear the gory details.  Wake me when it’s over, please.

Public impeachment hearings are an embarrassment to our natiion
Public hearings in the impeachment inquiry of Trump begin next week.

Maybe the British have it right, after all.  I’ve always wondered why they support the monarchy, but I’m beginning to understand.  The monarchy doesn’t change.  The royals  represent everything that’s good about England:  Dignity, Class, Courage, and Grace under Pressure.  They may have a Donald Trump clone for a prime minister, but it doesn’t matter.  No one outside England pays him much attention.

When we think of England, we visualize the magnificent Queen Elizabeth.  She’s always the same.  Regal, restrained, and strong.  Charles blew it with Diana, but the queen got everything back in control.  And now we have the future king and queen,  Kate & Will,  who  always do their duty and look glamorous while they’re  at it.  Poor Meghan  doesn’t understand the importance of a stiff upper lip, but perhaps she’ll come around.

Once upon a time, people felt passionate about the candidates they voted for.  Presidents like Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama, stirred our souls and warmed our hearts.  But now, most of us vote for the candidate whom we dislike the least.

Whatever happens, Congress needs to act swiftly. As a nation, we’re anxious, depressed and tired of it all.  Worse yet, we’re ashamed of our country.

Wake me up when the national nightmare is over.
