It seemed straight out of a fairy tale when Prince Charles, 32-year-old heir to the British throne, married 20-year-old Lady Diana Spencer on July 29, 1981. Despite the births of Prince William and Prince Harry, the couple were very ill-suited. Diana bitterly claimed "there were three of us in this marriage" -- a reference to Camilla Parker Bowles. Charles and Diana separated in December 1992 and were divorced in August 1996. A year later, Diana was killed in car crash in Paris.

Look at Pippa's pic. Is that mustache stubble on her upper lip or simply a crappy photo?

i dusted my screen, but still can't tell . . . she certainly could afford a wax.
Oh, man, you're right! I think she forgot to shave.

Why is the media so bent on making Pippa a "star"? Seriously, she's average at most with little charisma. Her only claim to fame is that her sister married a very homely, soon to be bald, man.

Would LOVE to know what YOU look like since you seem to think bashing others is ok as if you are something lovely, great, and gorgeous yourself. Seriously, stop this bs. Why does everyone seem to think it is ok to cut up people? It is wrong. I know you are not a looker yourself yet you cut up these people like you do and it is just wrong. Sorry that you think the Prince is ugly. Kate did marry a prince. WHAT have you married if you are married at all? A prince, a princess? Your opinion does not matter. Most do not agree with you on this. NOBODY is perfect and this is all you can do is call the prince a homely almost bald man? GEEZZZ....ARE YOU SHALLOW! You I would NOT want to be friends with ever.
This is a gossip site, not Pippa's fan club so chill. Pippa looks 15 years older, both sisters clearly need to invest in moisturizer or drink less. They're both drunks with tons of pics that prove it.
Hi Prince charles, you should teach these Middletons Sisters with
Decency Lesson. They're just like drunken sailors trying all their
outmost -best to snag Royals....not very well fitted.
CHERRI dear!
Prince Charles can use some of those decency lessons himself
Pippa is just an average, cute gal. She dresses cute and is thin and seems to be in good enough shape.So are alot of other gals in this world. SO WHAT!!!

Hmm, LINDA. You are doing the same thing you are griping about. Maybe you need to take it down a notch.OR go on back to the U.K.
Actually, Linda, I'm quite handsome. If you find the prince attractive you must have awful taste in men. Take away his "prince" title and what you're left with his a balding, toothy, homely man.
Pippa was gorgeous at the wedding. She carried herself very well. And her sister married the Prince of England. So of course the media is running with this....give it time and it will all settle down. I also wonder why this upsets everyone as the media here constantly talks about these idiot actors and actresses as if they are gods......it is the medias way whether it be here in the State or across the pond in England. Why not ask the media why they have to do this constantly???? Coz everyone feeds off of this kinda bs. Sadly.

well, we're all glad she left her toilet paper "dress" behind for her sister's wedding. Talk about "sad".
Patti isn't that good of a matchmaker, no one on her show ends up together.

I think they would be a cute item but sorry Patti Stanger is not a good matchmaker! She couldn't hang on to her own beau. So anything she has to say is...pure bull.

This pimp doesn't have a clue.

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Did you ever watch this broad on TV? She is the most obnoxious witch on two legs. She can't even keep her own relationship going and you think she can predict who will stay togetehr and who will work as a couple. Get real.

Kinda sad to imagine people, especially Americans, sitting around and actually emotionally investing in the possibility of Harry getting with this Pippa because it would so tickle their childish fancies, but whatever, shows just how little substance many lives are endowed with.

Puleaze! Patti Stanger should concentrate on finding herself a man...most of the men she finds for her show are beyond gross and icky...ilke Pippa and Prince Harry would consult with this skank for love advise...I can't stop laughing!
