| November 21, 2010 | 'Shallow celebrities' Prince William and Kate's marriage will last just 7 years: Bishop | |
London: A prominent bishop has sparked outrage by predicting
that Prince William and Kate Middleton's marriage will last just seven years. On his Facebook page, Church of England Bishop Pete Broadbent likened the royal
couple to 'shallow celebrities,' reports the Daily Mail. He has also described the Royal Family as 'philanderers' with a record of marriage break-ups who 'cost
an arm and a leg'. He also denounces the 'nauseating tosh' surrounding the 'national flimflam' of the wedding and says the basis of the Monarchy is 'corrupt and sexist'.
In a reference to the 1981 marriage of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, he adds:
'I managed to avoid the last disaster in slow motion between Big Ears and the
Porcelain Doll, and I hope to avoid this one too.' His comments are sure to dismay
his immediate superior, the Bishop of London, Richard Chartres, who is a close
friend of Prince Charles. The posts by Bishop Broadbent have been condemned as
'cruel' and 'disrespectful' by MPs and Church members.
