Was camilla Prince Charles mistress?
Yes. On and off since they first met in their youth.
It seems that he was too slow to propose, on the grounds that he was a serving Naval officer who would be overseas for much of the time. But it is not certain that she wanted to be Queen or Princess of Wales, and might have turned him down at that time.
She married an Army officer, Andrew Parker Bowles, and had her children by him. He was especially well-connected with the Royal Family, having supposedly taken Princess Anne's virginity, and his duties largely concerned the Royal Household in London.
She and Charles stayed close, and it wasn't long after his marriage to Diana that they resumed their affair, as Diana became aware. It was a big reason why they divorced.

What religion is the royal family?
Let us Box the Compass- In countries that have Royalty- the First Family is assumed to have a leading role in the spiritual life of the Nation or Empire- so we start off with Queen Elizabeth II- who is the head of the Church of England ( Episcopal, stateside) The abbreviation C.O.E. in England almost universally stands for Church of England- not Corps of Engineers- She wears many hats but not a Construction Helmet! On to the Netherlands- The Dutch Royal Family is Dutch Reformed- and of the House of Orange. ( Oranje in Dutch). The Danish Royal House is evangelical Lutheran, as are the Swedes and Norwegians. In the Scandinavian countries the Lutheran church is also Episcopal- they have Bishops as an ecclesiastical rank. Spain is of course, Roman Catholic as is the Principality of Monaco. Italy went republican in l946 ( By a Popular Election) and Portugal went Republican in l9l0 following an internal revolution- King and Crown prince assasinated in cold blood! so it goes.

How did the beefeaters get their name?
The most common interpretation of their name was that because during the plagues, they were regarded with envy since they received more meat rations than anyone else (since they were royal guards.)
However, some etymologists believe that the word is a corruption of the Old English word "hláf-æta" or servant, particularly, it seems, a royal servant; although the Oxford Dictionary of English states that the word is derived from a derogatory 17th century term for a "well-fed servant". This would lend support to the first explanation, since the Great Plague occurred between 1664-1666.
Will Prince Charles concede to his son?
Only time will tell. Prince Charles appears so foolish and weak that the people do not want him to be their King, they would much rather he pass the throne to his son, William, Duke of Cambridge. To do such a thing as yield to the desire of the people is extremely dangerous for the monarchy.

How do you start a royal family?
A number of countries have imported their royal families. Bohemia once did, and in more recent times Sweden, Norway, Bulgaria and Greece did. A nation whose royal family has died out, or who doesn't have a monarchy, but wants to start one, will sound out members of royal families in other countries to see which any of them would make a suitable sovereign. Usually a young prince has been found who agrees to take the job. King George I (1845 - 1913) King of Greece was born Prince Christian Wilhelm Ferdinand Adolf Georg of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, and was usually called Prince Wilhelm. He born in Copenhagen, Denmark, a younger son of Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, whose family was of the Danish nobility with links to the Danish royal family. Having recently overthrown their own king, the Greek people wanted a new king who could unite them and provide closer ties to other powerful European nations. Prince Wilhelm of Denmark was chosen as their candidate, and was crowned king of Greece in 1863. King George married the Archduchess Olga Constantinovna of Russia and they had eight children. One of their children, Prince Andrew of Greece, became the father of Prince Philip of Greece, and Philip later became duke of Edinburgh and married Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom.
