Whatever Love Means

With all the depth and dramatic quality of a Harlequin romance, this film is a glaringly obvious attempt to sell Camilla Parker Bowles to the British public (and the world) as sensitive, loving, strong and patriotic. So it will be just fine when she becomes queen. Q.E.D. In other words, this is a shallow propaganda effort that also destroys the image of Diana, portraying her as something of a bimbo. Laurence Fox was a dreadful choice to play Charles. His appearance is totally wrong. Nor did he master Charles' body language and vocal inflections. A very poor job! Likewise the portrayal of Philip.(Actually the Queen and her mother turn out pretty well.) But overall, it is a shallow royal soap opera and, like the soaps, it leaves you hanging with an ending that guarantees a sequel. Let's hope it's better than the original!

I have been a avid Royal watcher since I was a little boy. And in fact I remember gathering around a portable TV to watch the wedding of Charles and Diana with my family while we where camping. From what I can say about this movie is that it gives us more of a background into Charles' relationship with Camilla and their undying love for each other. However it barely scratches the surface of Diana's story and the hell she faced with in the Royal "firm". While this movie is a good starting place for those unfamiliar with the history of the current royal family to get the entire picture you really need to get your hands on a copy of the movie " Diana: Her True Story " starring Serena Scott Thomas as the Late Pincess of Wales.

The actors all fit the roles that they play well and this is a watchable and entertaining movie start to finish. Definitely worth the time take to watch it...

I totally agree with. Truth of a total of 12 ? Reviews pointing to facts of bad casting and weak attempts to gloss over and fail. ! Added to that this was made in 2005 ? Or am i mistaken ? Overall dreadful and not worth anyone of a discerning nature wasting time.

This is the only movie ever made about Charles and Camilla, as far as I know. It begins with their first meeting in 1971 and ends on the day of the wedding of Charles and Diana in 1981. I would love to see a movie continue their love affair down to the present day.

The movie is sympathetic to both Charles and Camilla. Of course the movie is almost entirely fiction. There is absolutely no way anyone can possibly know what Charles and Camilla said to each other during their private time. Still, I enjoy well done dramas about the British royal family.

I think the actors who played Charles and Camilla are good. I was appalled at the portrayal of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth. It's difficult to believe they could be so callous toward Prince Charles. I'm not a person who takes sides or hates any of these people. I do not know them, but I do know that everyone is human with good and bad sides and everything in between.

If you enjoy this subject matter, the movie is worth watching!

I really liked the performances by the actors who portrayed Charles and Camilla, & also the actress they chose to portray Diana was very convincing in that role as well, so casting was very good. I don't know how accurate the film was, as I don't keep up with celebrity gossip and haven't read any of the biographies on Prince Charles or the Charles/Diana/Camilla situation, but I enjoyed this film. I look forward to seeing more films featuring actor Lawrence Fox. I recognized him as the actor who portrayed a German pilot in the BBC series "Island at War." He really humanizes Prince Charles in this film, I think overall it is a very flattering portrayal, although I don't really like how he and Camilla took advantage of Diana's innocence and youth, they really ruined her life. I gave the film 8 stars instead of 10, because I generally don't like these tell-all types of stories based on celebrity dirty laundry, but it was a good film with good acting; enjoyable overall.
