The way I see it, they finally got smart with this most recent generation. Edward VIII abdicated because it would be an abomination if an American divorcee was the wife of the King. I don't know the particulars of Philip and Elizabeth, but it sounds like she tolerates him. Does she love him? Probably grew to.

The nonsense that Charles couldn't marry Camilla years ago and had to marry a young virgin was just too much to be borne by a lot of people. I'm sure he's glad that out of the marriage with Diana he has two wonderful sons - divorced people can regret the marriage without regretting the children. I'm sure that as his children grew, and after their mother's death, that Charles made very sure that his mother the queen knew that his sons weren't going to go through the same humiliation and time-wasting nonsense that he had to. And they're better for it. In this day and age, that kind of arranged marriage smacks of humans needing papers like show dogs. Looking back, it makes the House of Windsor look very shallow for making Charles go through with that marriage. It makes them look like they're in the 21st century now that the heir may marry for love.
