A Mother’s Prayer
I close my eyes and send a silent prayer to God and my mother for help. My Charlotte is headed for disaster I fear. She insists on continuing her involvement with William. Of all the people she could be with, why did she choose William? Maman, I beg your forgiveness for worrying you so. I now understand how you felt about my first marriage.
Charlotte has deluded herself into thinking there is a future for her with him in England. She thinks of the Windsors are the kindly family she has met on occasion. They are nice to my daughter because they have no cause not to be. But Charlotte is a Roman Catholic. Heirs to the British Throne have been barred from marrying Roman Catholics since the time of Henry VIII. She is not aware that any member of that family that is in line for the Throne, even if it is very distant, has to relinquish their place in line to marry a Catholic. The Queen would never allow William to do that. Peter Phillips, possibly or even Prince Harry, but never William.
If this affair is allowed to continue, my beautiful Princess Charlotte will be relegated to being a mistress to a British King.
This I will never allow.
