I guess the days are gone when a Prince of Wales or a king of England can have a mistress more-or-less openly or long term. Goodness knows, there is plenty of precedent for it. Charles II had a number of them, all very well known, and he had a wife at the same time. Same with Edward VII, and that was in pretty modern times. At least Charles won't be adulterating, just fornicating. But I guess he will want to marry the wench (once the Old Girl is gone and can't nix it) and make an honest woman of her. Nelly Gwynne wouldn't have wanted any truck with that. Of course, Lizzy the Twooth may be good for another 20 years or so and much can happen.
