Charles was very gallant. He was loyal to his women and loyal to the children he had by them. Indeed, loyalty to those he felt obliged to be loyal was his principal characteristic.

I think Charles II as a poor King, but as a person he was not without redeming qualities.

Yeah, but C2's reign was still a lot more stable than it could have been, given recent history. But yeah, the British Empire didn't take off till the 18th Century.

Still, I have a soft spot for Charles II. Seemed like a decent human being, if not a great king; sadly, kings are rarely decent, and it may be that to be a great king you can't be a decent person. I dunno.

@mc0558 ur an idiot, lol 3 year old comment, Charles' was an age of toleration, the age of Purcell and Isaac Newton, yeah very poor king. Forgive me while I roll around on the floor laughing. Notmally I don't weigh into this stuff but I say that Charles was the BEST English King! Who is with me!

@Gladys8it2 Doesn't she also play Sheree Blair in The Queen? She gets on my nerves

[renjilovesmoi]

He was already inside of her why did she make him pull out

[53orion]

I think she fits the part because she is such a versatile actress...and, I feel that it is more important to get her behaviorism, rather than her appearance, accurately.

@mgaraito Barbara was more handsome than a stereotypical beauty.

I'm also disappointed with the casting of Barbara Villiers, she was supposed to be a stunning beauty.
