Oh Maxim, when your friends told you to avoid mentioning your ex with a girl you like, they never meant for you to go that far.

Also - Prince Charles is just awful. Really awful. He should remain gagged at all times for the good of Britain and the Commonwealth. BUT - I still think that was an incredibly gauche question for a journalist to ask a royal in 1981.

For the majority of history, love would have never entered the equation. Chuck pretty much knew he had to marry 1) a virgin from a royal or noble family, who was 2) reasonably attractive 3) well-manned enough to be in the public eye and 4) without any obvious hereditary insanity.

That pretty much eliminated 95% of female aristocrats right there.
