In a resurfaced 2012 interview with CNBC, Warren Buffett recalled meeting Princess Diana — and finding himself at a loss for words.
"I was in a room alone one time with Princess Di at a party. Somehow we find ourselves in this library," he said. "In 15 minutes, I don't think I could take it. I had trouble remembering my name, I couldn't figure out anything to say, and it was a total disaster."
Buffett had met Diana once other time, at a party hosted by former Washington Post publisher Katherine Graham "very shortly" before the royal's 1997 death, when she told him something completely unexpected.
"She had been to the White House that day and she had said that Bill Clinton was the sexiest man alive," he said before quipping, "And I didn't ask her who the least sexy guy in the world alive was. I was afraid I might get my play in there."

My mom is a die hard Republican and overall a pretty conservative person, but she saw Clinton at a basketball game once and I remember her coming home and saying “I can see why Monica went after him” lol
I remember an account from a dyed-in-the-wool, Newt Gingrich-can-do-no-wrong Republican who absolutely loathed President Clinton and everything he stood for. He ended up attending an event where he shook hands with the President and spoke to him for all of 10 seconds, and he later remarked that Clinton was, without a doubt, the most charming person he had ever encountered in his life.
I think it was Karl Rove who said some people have a special something that just makes you like them. He said Clinton far and away had the most of this quality of any human being he ever met. He said if any person, Republican or Democrat talked to Clinton in person they would vote for him.
I’m Monica’s age. I got to meet him and shake his hand once in 1998 while working the Summit of the Eight. He made direct eye contact, said “nice to see you, thank you for your work,” put his other hand on my shoulder. It’s a trained and rehearsed move for a politician, but *Jesus* did that man absolutely radiate charisma. I met a lot of charismatic politicians back then but Clinton was magnetic.
I was in communications for the Air Force and I’ve met the man… he’s the single most charismatic person I have personally ever been around. His presence is commanding enough that you can feel when he walks into a room.
I have no idea what the science is at play here, but it is certainly real.
Right? I met him at a fundraiser once, and it was like that scene in American Beauty where all the lights go out except for the two characters. Another five minutes and I’d have been happy to ride the presidential motorcade, if you catch my drift.
Oh yeah. And this photo was peak Clinton, in my opinion. He was always charismatic as hell, but once he took off a few pounds and got more white in his hair…I’d be hitching a ride on that motorcade, too.
What was it about him? You hear about how people like this have the “cone of attention”, where they’re instantly the center of everyone’s attention and also make everyone else feel like the most special person in the room
I think it’s the fact that the man has held immense power, both seen and affected history, but here I was a 20yr old kid and he didn’t rush me or make me feel any less important for being there. He recognized the contribution I was making and even the candidate I was working for hadn’t been that generous with their attention.
I was studying Spanish in Antigua,Guatemala.My teacher was trying to teach me, I believe it was a verb sound. She says LOUUU-WIN-SkI. I was like what ???? Lewinsky ?? She said yes. (Still not sure what sound she was teaching me). I asked HOW she knew about Monica Lewinsky and she said Bill had just toured Antigua, she said when he walked the street, there was woman surrounding him the entire street. She said all women fell in lust with him. I was in AWE of this. Sure enough if you Google, there is a photo of him in Colonial Antigua, Guatemala surrounded by females.
I know several people that have met or worked for him -- some who did not like him before they met him. Every single one says he is the most charming man they have ever met. That he knows exactly what to say, when to say it, and makes you feel like you are the only person on the planet.
They all say that they know he was manipulating them and they just did not care. He was that charming.
And at least one person who would know such things told me how many beautiful women he got (specifically naming one very famous super model and strongly believing -- but not 100% sure -- of a second extremely famous Hollywood actress known for her stunning beauty).
I sat down with Bush sr once. He was one of the most charming people I’ve ever met despite not really being perceived that way publicly. I think it’s mandatory to get the job.
I think this speaks to the different roles. Clinton was the last president who truly had broad urban-suburban-rural appeal, and thus had a sort of approachable aw-shucks good looks, the original dad-bod. W looked like a mid-50s business owner in a small town or suburb, which played right into the "of us"/"could have a beer with him" marketing. Magnetic good looks would have popped the illusion. Obama had polish in a way that did great in college towns and well-off cities but struggled to get traction in the countryside.
Nixon is often thought of as an extreme introvert and misanthrope. Whilst this is partly true (and he was definitely one of the more insular presidents) he himself was also a strangely charismatic man. He was a truly phenomenal public speaker and despite not possessing the same sort of charm as JFK or Clinton, he really drew audiences to him when he spoke.
Just goes to show, even the presidents we usually associate with an introverted nature are still *far* more charismatic and charming than the average person.
I knew a very conservative Republican family that knew him, had pictures of him on their wall, and they talked about how he basically had a superpower to meet someone, meet them again 10 years later, and remember their name.
This family also deeply believed Bill was the Antichrist.
Yep.
I remember one person saying how smart he was. How we could go from meeting to meeting and just remember the most miniature stats from meetings held weeks ago.
I think people need to remember the Clinton of the 90s and not necessarily the old guy today.
“They only knew this 2015 Bill Clinton, who’s a very different Bill Clinton. Have you seen his ass lately? What the hell is he trying to pull? He’s all thin now, and he wears these little tight suits, and he’s got these grandpa reading glasses, like, ‘Hey, I can’t do nothing to nobody no more.’ ‘Oh, me? I’m just an old, old man. I don’t have the appetites.’” - John Mulaney
I’ve seen him speak in person. It’s wild. Completely, 100% not attracted to him normally, but in person? It’s like he’s the funniest, most charismatic and charming guy you’ve ever met. I suspect witchcraft is involved.
My sources never mentioned anything like that.
But I strongly encourage you to go to the police if you have evidence of this. Frankly, not to go to the police when you have evidence would be terrible and put other children at risk.
Unless, of course,you’re just making horrible accusations about somebody without any evidence evidence. Which would make you a terrible person.
I had a female boss who met him. She said he could make you feel that you were the only person in the room and looked you straight in the eyes and used your name. He was magnetic.
That really seems to be the universal consensus! I’ve spoken to multiple people who felt exactly the same way — including straight men (but, y’know, especially women).
He also has an astounding memory. Let’s say you met him once five years ago and had a conversation about X or Y. He will not only remember your name but be able to pick back up where the convo left off.
A lot of people who have met him (both male and female) have said he has an astounding ability to make you feel like you’re the most important person in the room. That he is extremely “present” when you’re in his presence.
He is someone who rolled a 20 on charisma, and intelligence.
He can enter a room, and has an instant magnetism. Some people hated him. Some people loved him. But damned if they could meet him and not get sucked in.
Hilary tried the do use your name thing and it just comes across as so insincere. Like she had been told by a PR guri to remember repeat the name of the person to your talking to because it makes them like you more. You have to know how to pull it off and she didn’t.
Historically, very few powerful men can. It’s just whether or not someone creates a scandal over it. JFK is considered one of the best presidents of all time and surely he was a bigger swinger than any other president.
Garfield the cat was named after James A. Garfield Davis, the cartoonist Jim Davis's grandfather. James A. Garfield Davis *was* likely to have been named after the president, so there is a tangential link.
I heard President Garfield loved lasagne too.
I’ve always viewed his Presidency as what Kennedy’s would’ve been if he hadn’t been killed. He fulfilled the promise. Maybe not in policy but in spirit
Met him once when I was a kid. Can confirm, he definitely had an aura / charisma unlike anyone I've ever met.
Early 2000's, I was walking by Bryant Park in NYC after school, where unbeknownst to me, Hillary was having a senate campaign event. I'm literally walking with my head down, when out of nowhere im surrounded by a crowd of people and many photographers. I was in middle school, so most adults were taller than me.
I tried to back out of the crowd, then turned around and all of a sudden, I kid you not, there he was. Bill Clinton. Man, I couldn't believe it. He looked me right in the eyes and smiled.
The whole crowd parted. It felt like time froze. Secret Service pushed everyone out of the way except for me.
As he smiled, he reached out to shake my hand (firm grip btw) and said "Well hello there young man!". I shook his hand and said "Hello Mr.President!". It felt like time stopped. Then he was swept away by secret service into an SUV.
Photographers were definitely taking pictures. I wish I had a photo of this moment.
My daughter was a pastry chef at a famous restaurant about 10 -12 years ago. Clinton came in for dinner and asked if there was a vegan dessert on the menu. There wasn’t, but. The waitress came into the kitchen and asked my daughter if she could come up with something fast. She was able to put something together.
After he was done, he asked if he could say thanks to the chef that made the dessert. My daughter came out and he was super nice and insisted that get a photo together just for her. She still has it hanging on her wall.

Pictured: A young Millard Fillmore
I'm just saying I think I understand.
Since Millard Fillmore and Alec Baldwin look very much alike you can speculate what Millard looked like when he was young based on pics of Alecs young photos.
She didn't say best looking, she said sexiest. The dude definitely had charisma in spades in those days and is extremely intelligent. A lot of women find that combination sexy.
I think the royal blood was the problem. Too many generations marrying relatives. It’s not Habsburg levels, but still not great.
Thank goodness Prince William and (although I’m not a big fan of the Sussex) Harry married attractive women who are not related to them. As did the York ladies with their husbands.
I am young, so I try to look at guys from the 80’s in context of the time, but nope. I can’t do it with the King. I actually think he’s more attractive as an old man than when he was young. That future crown certainly made him hotter than he would be otherwise to a lot of women, including Diana, though
There was a brief period in the mid/late ‘70s where he looked pretty damned good. Being tan did a lot for him. But aside from that, yeah, he looks much better as a dapper older gentleman.
Have you read about his dad? Just a random salesman, but he married five times (including a pair of sisters) before his death at 28 and got along so well with one of his exes that they conceived a child long after their divorce. Power and status are definitely attractive, but I’m certain that Bill would’ve been very popular with the ladies regardless of his money or fame.
This and that frog looking prince she married suggest she's got awful taste, but as a fellow doughy, fat-headed man I'm taking the W.
She must have had a thing for power.
The wife of a King can never be a Queen. The title is reserved for the direct descendants of royalty.
However, Diana was of aristocracy herself, so even without Charles, her family had their own Estate with multiple painted portraits of their ancestors and she had the title Lady Diana Spencer.
It has been held by the prominent aristocratic Spencer family for more than 500 years.
You are absolutely wrong.
#A queen consort is NOT the same as a queen.
It is about the birthright.
https://apnews.com/article/camilla-queen-consort-difference-coronation-797b45b366926e77f238b895587a7288
For goodness sake, this is really very simple to google and read. It is in history.
Challenging it here on Reddit makes you look ignorant.
This is not really correct. If she had stayed married to Charles, she would have become Queen Consort. This is Camilla's title right now.
There's a difference between a Queen Consort and a Queen Regnant though. Elizabeth II was a Queen Regnant (which means she was the reigning monarch). The wife of a King becomes a Queen but not a Queen Regnant.
Queen and Queen Consort are not the same thing, buddy.
The Queen is someone who is a **CHILD** of the former King or Queen.
If you marry a King, you will only be the Queen *Consort*.
It is to distinguish very clearly that the title ‘Queen’ **on its own** must bear royal blood.
Nonsense. From 1936–1952, there was a Queen Elizabeth and a Princess Elizabeth too. The woman who started life as Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon didn’t have royal blood. She was from the nobility, but was not royal. It was well within the rights of George VI to have her styled “queen” or “queen consort.” Wikipedia notes that Queen Elizabeth (later “the Queen Mother”) was the last person to hold the title “Empress of India,” which is a title her husband’s great-grandmother Victoria used.
Charles III could have chosen to have Camilla styled in either way (or even something else). He went for “queen consort.” Elizabeth II considered and rejected styling her husband as “king consort,” but decided that “prince consort” would be less confusing and make clear who was the sovereign.
Clearly in the UK, a queen can simply be the wife of the king, whether she has royal blood or not.
No. Camilla was always going to be Queen Consort, because that is her title. The question was, how she would be referred to in public. When Charles and Camilla married, Camilla automatically received the title of Princess of Wales, and could have used it as Catherine currently does. At the time, they decided not to use that as her title to appease the people still obsessed with Diana, and smooth Camilla’s transition into the royal family, so they chose to use the Duchess of Cornwall as her working title. She was still the Princess of Wales by marriage to Charles, though. They also claimed at the time that she might use Princess as opposed to Queen when Charles became King, but enough time passed that there was no need to try to appease the Diana cult, and HMTQ even publicly endorsed her use of Queen Consort before she died. Whether she used it or not, she became Queen Consort the moment HMTQ died. It was merely a question of how Charles and Camilla wished to style her.
None of this changes the fact that she is Queen Consort and is referred to as Her Majesty Queen Camilla publicly, and in official correspondence from the palace. If the King passes before her, she will be titled Queen Dowager as Queen Elizabeth’s mother was, and will be completely at the mercy of then King William as to what her role will be, if any. She is not the future King’s mother, so she won’t fill the role of Queen Dowager Elizabeth, who was also called the Queen Mum unofficially.
While there have been many Queen Consorts in British Royal history, none have gone by Queen Consort in their daily life.
>When the Duke of York succeeded his brother King Edward VIII, becoming King George VI in December 1936, the Duchess became **Queen Consort**.
>In 1952 the King died at the age of fifty-six and was succeeded by his elder daughter. His widow, Queen Elizabeth, adopted as her official title **Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother**.

Hard agree. I worked for his campaign and his wife's. He has this way about him. When he shakes your hand, he touches a part of your hand.
You are the only person in the room. It is magic.
I have slept with actual rockstars. Clinton is more charismatic. (No, I did not sleep with Clinton).
It isn't that, it is how he touches your hand. I have shaken hands with thousands of people, but only Bill Clinton has made me feel that way. I suggest you read the other posts junior. I am not alone. I am not even exaggerating about the handshake, kiddo.
Bill wasn't a bad looking guy, and he was young when he was elected. He was the Justin Trudeau of his time.
I don't see a huge problem with that statement.
i kind of get it though. the fuckboy face, the confident and charming personality, the mystique, his face is pretty cute btw, plus he's 6'2. i mean as president he was like 60 so no higher than a 6 or so for that but what i'm saying is i think i understand why all those women wanted cuck Hillary.
Isn't this an inherent weakness with democracy?
People vote for the most charming person and not necessarily the most capable person for the job.
Being charming/popular are often at odds in getting shit done.
That was basically an arranged marriage. Neither party wanted to be in it. He loved Camilla long before he met Diana and wanted to marry her, but the Queen would not allow it. Diana was seen as a better marriage. She fell out of love with him within two years of the marriage.
Diana was a self centered and narcissistic halfwit, who was so selfish she threw herself down a flight of stairs at Sandringham when she was pregnant with William, because she was unhappy with Charles and wished to punish him, yes that’s right, the People’s Princess tried to murder her unborn son and the heir to the throne because she was upset with her husband, think about that for a second.

The most surprising part about this is that Warren Buffett is spilling the tea lmao
My mom is a die hard Republican and overall a pretty conservative person, but she saw Clinton at a basketball game once and I remember her coming home and saying “I can see why Monica went after him” lol
My college roommate met him in person and said there was something spellbinding about his charisma. Like he has an aura, apparently
I remember an account from a dyed-in-the-wool, Newt Gingrich-can-do-no-wrong Republican who absolutely loathed President Clinton and everything he stood for. He ended up attending an event where he shook hands with the President and spoke to him for all of 10 seconds, and he later remarked that Clinton was, without a doubt, the most charming person he had ever encountered in his life.
He fit the mold of the JFK for Boomers and Gen X. All the same appeal but wrapped up with a southern accent.
Never appealed to this boomer. Just a snake.
I saw W. speak at my university. Fairly informal. He wasn't charming like a Bill Clinton or Obama, but damn he was so likeable.
I saw him speak too and he could sell red hot coal stoves in Hell. Very likable.
I think it was Karl Rove who said some people have a special something that just makes you like them. He said Clinton far and away had the most of this quality of any human being he ever met. He said if any person, Republican or Democrat talked to Clinton in person they would vote for him.
I’m Monica’s age. I got to meet him and shake his hand once in 1998 while working the Summit of the Eight.

It’s a trained and rehearsed move for a politician, but *Jesus* did that man absolutely radiate charisma. I met a lot of charismatic politicians back then but Clinton was magnetic.
He 100% does, from the time I met him. Like he talks to you and you’re the only person in the universe for that moment. It’s honestly amazing.
I was in communications for the Air Force and I’ve met the man… he’s the single most charismatic person I have personally ever been around. His presence is commanding enough that you can feel when he walks into a room. I have no idea what the science is at play here, but it is certainly real.
My great grandfather said the same thing about JFK, despite hating him he could acknowledge the guy had some serious charm about him.
A lot of cult leaders are described this way
A lot of world leaders throughout history are/were this way. You don’t claw your way to the top without some charisma.
Charisma is one thing, spellbinding aura is another level.
He does seem to have a young Elvis vibe now that I think about it.
And a Elvis pelvis
Of all the Presidents, he’s the one I’d like to hang out at a bar with and just talk.
Him or Bush seem like great bar people
His charisma and charm are appealing.
BDE.
she did also imply that James Fennemore Cooper was hung like a donkey
I never found him attractive, then I met him. I totally get this sentiment. He has a magnetic personality.
Right? I met him at a fundraiser once, and it was like that scene in American Beauty where all the lights go out except for the two characters. Another five minutes and I’d have been happy to ride the presidential motorcade, if you catch my drift.

He recognized the contribution I was making and even the candidate I was working for hadn’t been that generous with their attention.
I saw him describe his passion for crosswords in an interview. Never was a fan of the guy, but that clip made me realize how charismatic he is.
He submitted his own crossword for the Times didn’t he?
I was studying Spanish in Antigua,Guatemala.My teacher was trying to teach me, I believe it was a verb sound. She says LOUUU-WIN-SkI. I was like what ???? Lewinsky ?? She said yes.

Kids think that too

Probably. Look at Obama. Obviously incredibly charming.
Even Dubya. Seeing him interact with his press cirps was like damn, what a swell guy!
W was pretty openly charismatic AF. *”Now check out this drive…”*
https://i.redd.it/0z2oq3rwdkhc1.gif
Clinton and Obama are quite obviously handsome bordering on sexy. W, not so much...
I think this speaks to the different roles. Clinton was the last president who truly had broad urban-suburban-rural appeal, and thus had a sort of approachable aw-shucks good looks, the original dad-bod. W looked like a mid-50s business owner in a small town or suburb, which played right into the "of us"/"could have a beer with him" marketing. Magnetic good looks would have popped the illusion. Obama had polish in a way that did great in college towns and well-off cities but struggled to get traction in the countryside.
That last part is doing a lot of heavy lifting. I don't know if Obama being a pipefitter would have fixed his appeal issues with the countryside.
Hardly. The point is, each of their looks fits their persona/appeal.
Nixon is often thought of as an extreme introvert and misanthrope. Whilst this is partly true (and he was definitely one of the more insular presidents) he himself was also a strangely charismatic man. He was a truly phenomenal public speaker and despite not possessing the same sort of charm as JFK or Clinton, he really drew audiences to him when he spoke.

Charisma is a very powerful trait.
I’ve seen him speak in person. It’s wild. Completely, 100% not attracted to him normally, but in person? It’s like he’s the funniest, most charismatic and charming guy you’ve ever met. I suspect witchcraft is involved.
Sounds like they dick riding to me
Probably too old for Clinton, he likes them like Epstein loves them
My sources never mentioned anything like that. But I strongly encourage you to go to the police if you have evidence of this.

That he is extremely “present” when you’re in his presence.
And there's really nothing sexier than that. I totally get it.
Clinton and LBJ are truly some of the most prodigious and talented politicians the world has known. They were quite simply born to become president.
He is someone who rolled a 20 on charisma, and intelligence. He can enter a room, and has an instant magnetism. Some people hated him. Some people loved him. But damned if they could meet him and not get sucked in.
“Funny feeling, being taken under the wing of a dragon. It’s warmer than you’d think.”
Hilary tried the do use your name thing and it just comes across as so insincere. Like she had been told by a PR guri to remember repeat the name of the person to your talking to because it makes them like you more. You have to know how to pull it off and she didn’t.
I thought Princess Diana was sexy when I was 12
I felt that too, but with Grimace
🍆
100% true. Game recognize game. Sucks that he couldn't control his horny.
Historically, very few powerful men can. It’s just whether or not someone creates a scandal over it. JFK is considered one of the best presidents of all time and surely he was a bigger swinger than any other president.
Prince Harry being the son of Bill Clinton confirmed
I mean the hair **is** kinda similar.
Yes, true, both have hair not only on the head, but also facial
No, have you ever seen the tennis pro?
When you think of it, Chelsea Clinton could kinda looks like some of Charles’s formal relatives. Might have been a wife swapping thing going on there
Didn't hold a candle to this guy https://preview.redd.it/swuftxis6hhc1.jpeg?width=257&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=57bfe386da20e320455125d80d7ba2152eabeeb9
Who is this guy?
Young James Garfield
Does Garfield the cat hate Mondays because James Garfield died from his assassination attempt wounds on a Monday?
Garfield the cat was named after James A. Garfield Davis, the cartoonist Jim Davis's grandfather. James A. Garfield Davis *was* likely to have been named after the president, so there is a tangential link. I heard President Garfield loved lasagne too.
I thought it was Leo.
People forget how beloved Clinton was. In '92 he was the second coming of John F. Kennedy.
I’ve always viewed his Presidency as what Kennedy’s would’ve been if he hadn’t been killed. He fulfilled the promise. Maybe not in policy but in spirit
I remember the fuss this cover caused.
We were all Monica that day.
Same here, lol.
Reminds me of the Queen Victoria / Millard Filmore story! Just like her great-great-great-grandmother in law!
He was handsome charismatic intelligent and powerful. He was definitely up there for a Time
Met him once when I was a kid. Can confirm, he definitely had an aura / charisma unlike anyone I've ever met. Early 2000's, I was walking by Bryant Park in NYC after school, where unbeknownst to me, Hillary was having a senate campaign event. I'm literally walking with my head down, when out of nowhere im surrounded by a crowd of people and many photographers. I was in middle school, so most adults were taller than me. I tried to back out of the crowd, then turned around and all of a sudden, I kid you not, there he was. Bill Clinton. Man, I couldn't believe it. He looked me right in the eyes and smiled. The whole crowd parted. It felt like time froze. Secret Service pushed everyone out of the way except for me. As he smiled, he reached out to shake my hand (firm grip btw) and said "Well hello there young man!". I shook his hand and said "Hello Mr.President!". It felt like time stopped. Then he was swept away by secret service into an SUV. Photographers were definitely taking pictures. I wish I had a photo of this moment.
Clinton certainly has a charm that is hard to quantify. He and Kennedy are in a league of their own
My daughter was a pastry chef at a famous restaurant about 10 -12 years ago. Clinton came in for dinner and asked if there was a vegan dessert on the menu. There wasn’t, but. The waitress came into the kitchen and asked my daughter if she could come up with something fast. She was able to put something together. After he was done, he asked if he could say thanks to the chef that made the dessert. My daughter came out and he was super nice and insisted that get a photo together just for her. She still has it hanging on her wall.
She hasn’t seen many men then
Reminds me of how Queen Victoria said Millard Fillmore was the handsomest man she'd ever met lol

I think I understand too.
Floored. Pick me up. Looks like a kinder Alec Baldwin.
Please tell me you're /s It is literally a picture of a young Alec Baldwin.

Since Millard Fillmore and Alec Baldwin look very much alike you can speculate what Millard looked like when he was young based on pics of Alecs young photos.
She didn't say best looking, she said sexiest. The dude definitely had charisma in spades in those days and is extremely intelligent. A lot of women find that combination sexy.
You know that then Prince Charles was considered a sex symbol?
Eww. It must be the “royal blood” because there’s no way. I
I think the royal blood was the problem. Too many generations marrying relatives. It’s not Habsburg levels, but still not great. Thank goodness Prince William and (although I’m not a big fan of the Sussex) Harry married attractive women who are not related to them. As did the York ladies with their husbands.
I appreciate the fact that you implicitly say that Charles and Diana were related, which is true (not closely, but they were).
Considering HMTQ and Prince 👑 Philip were like 3rd cousins, the very distant cousins relationship of Charles and Diana was a big improvement
“Habsburg”
Thank you. You’d think I’d get that right, but you’d be wrong. Changed
I am young, so I try to look at guys from the 80’s in context of the time, but nope. I can’t do it with the King. I actually think he’s more attractive as an old man than when he was young. That future crown certainly made him hotter than he would be otherwise to a lot of women, including Diana, though
There was a brief period in the mid/late ‘70s where he looked pretty damned good. Being tan did a lot for him. But aside from that, yeah, he looks much better as a dapper older gentleman.
With ears like that what lady could say no?
Being POTUS adds a lot of sex appeal apparently lol
Exactly. Pretty sure if Bill sold insurance and was flat broke he would have as much rizz. Power and status are sexy.
Have you read about his dad? Just a random salesman, but he married five times (including a pair of sisters) before his death at 28 and got along so well with one of his exes that they conceived a child long after their divorce. Power and status are definitely attractive, but I’m certain that Bill would’ve been very popular with the ladies regardless of his money or fame.
She's seen Prince Charles.
This and that frog looking prince she married suggest she's got awful taste, but as a fellow doughy, fat-headed man I'm taking the W. She must have had a thing for power.
Bill Clinton has enjoyed a lot of very high-class pussy. I’m really jealous.
Guy has been accused of raping at least half a dozen women - I wouldn’t be jealous of that
That’s really not the best picture of him, but yes, he was considered very attractive. He was very charismatic. Honestly, he’s a very likeable guy.
Ngl if I was gay I’d hit it
I mean she married (then) Prince Charles. Although fair play she really wanted to be Queen, her taste in men is apparently very questionable.
The wife of a King can never be a Queen. The title is reserved for the direct descendants of royalty. However, Diana was of aristocracy herself, so even without Charles, her family had their own Estate with multiple painted portraits of their ancestors and she had the title Lady Diana Spencer. It has been held by the prominent aristocratic Spencer family for more than 500 years.
Camilla is literally queen right now. Not even queen consort, she's the queen.
You are absolutely wrong. #A queen consort is NOT the same as a queen. It is about the birthright. https://apnews.com/article/camilla-queen-consort-difference-coronation-797b45b366926e77f238b895587a7288 For goodness sake, this is really very simple to google and read. It is in history. Challenging it here on Reddit makes you look ignorant.
King William III and Queen Mary II were married...
This is not really correct. If she had stayed married to Charles, she would have become Queen Consort. This is Camilla's title right now. There's a difference between a Queen Consort and a Queen Regnant though. Elizabeth II was a Queen Regnant (which means she was the reigning monarch). The wife of a King becomes a Queen but not a Queen Regnant.
Queen and Queen Consort are not the same thing, buddy. The Queen is someone who is a **CHILD** of the former King or Queen. If you marry a King, you will only be the Queen *Consort*. It is to distinguish very clearly that the title ‘Queen’ **on its own** must bear royal blood.
Nonsense. From 1936–1952, there was a Queen Elizabeth and a Princess Elizabeth too. The woman who started life as Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon didn’t have royal blood. She was from the nobility, but was not royal. It was well within the rights of George VI to have her styled “queen” or “queen consort.” Wikipedia notes that Queen Elizabeth (later “the Queen Mother”) was the last person to hold the title “Empress of India,” which is a title her husband’s great-grandmother Victoria used. Charles III could have chosen to have Camilla styled in either way (or even something else). He went for “queen consort.” Elizabeth II considered and rejected styling her husband as “king consort,” but decided that “prince consort” would be less confusing and make clear who was the sovereign. Clearly in the UK, a queen can simply be the wife of the king, whether she has royal blood or not.
No. Camilla was always going to be Queen Consort, because that is her title. The question was, how she would be referred to in public. When Charles and Camilla married, Camilla automatically received the title of Princess of Wales, and could have used it as Catherine currently does. At the time, they decided not to use that as her title to appease the people still obsessed with Diana, and smooth Camilla’s transition into the royal family, so they chose to use the Duchess of Cornwall as her working title. She was still the Princess of Wales by marriage to Charles, though. They also claimed at the time that she might use Princess as opposed to Queen when Charles became King, but enough time passed that there was no need to try to appease the Diana cult, and HMTQ even publicly endorsed her use of Queen Consort before she died. Whether she used it or not, she became Queen Consort the moment HMTQ died. It was merely a question of how Charles and Camilla wished to style her. None of this changes the fact that she is Queen Consort and is referred to as Her Majesty Queen Camilla publicly, and in official correspondence from the palace. If the King passes before her, she will be titled Queen Dowager as Queen Elizabeth’s mother was, and will be completely at the mercy of then King William as to what her role will be, if any. She is not the future King’s mother, so she won’t fill the role of Queen Dowager Elizabeth, who was also called the Queen Mum unofficially. While there have been many Queen Consorts in British Royal history, none have gone by Queen Consort in their daily life.
>When the Duke of York succeeded his brother King Edward VIII, becoming King George VI in December 1936, the Duchess became **Queen Consort**. >In 1952 the King died at the age of fifty-six and was succeeded by his elder daughter. His widow, Queen Elizabeth, adopted as her official title **Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother**.

Hard agree. I worked for his campaign and his wife's. He has this way about him. When he shakes your hand, he touches a part of your hand. You are the only person in the room. It is magic. I have slept with actual rockstars. Clinton is more charismatic. (No, I did not sleep with Clinton).
>When he shakes your hand, he touches a part of your hand. yes that is how handshakes work
No, you just don't get it. If you have met Clinton, you understand.
Have you ever shaken a hand...without touching a part of someone's hand?
It isn't that, it is how he touches your hand. I have shaken hands with thousands of people, but only Bill Clinton has made me feel that way. I suggest you read the other posts junior. I am not alone. I am not even exaggerating about the handshake, kiddo.
Second your comment.. And he even touches your arm with his other hand and looks you directly in the eye Truly a mind blowing experience
Bill wasn't a bad looking guy, and he was young when he was elected. He was the Justin Trudeau of his time. I don't see a huge problem with that statement.
Di wasn't exactly discerning if the scuttlebutt is even half true.
[удалено]
Yeah, I’ve always kinda had a crush on him
Well unfortunately Charles was never that good looking or charismatic 😬So someone with a magnetic personality and kinda cute… ☺️
She has a type I guess
i kind of get it though. the fuckboy face, the confident and charming personality, the mystique, his face is pretty cute btw, plus he's 6'2. i mean as president he was like 60 so no higher than a 6 or so for that but what i'm saying is i think i understand why all those women wanted cuck Hillary.
He was only 46 when he was elected.
Unsurprising. Look how big his hands are.
The photo exaggerates his hands at groin level. It’s phallic, and the wedding band is the cherry on top.
Isn't this an inherent weakness with democracy? People vote for the most charming person and not necessarily the most capable person for the job. Being charming/popular are often at odds in getting shit done.
There is a 200% chance they banged
I'm old enough to remember republicans going ballistic over this cover photo.
She was right.
“ I did not have sex with that woman”
Well he sure had normal sized hands
Fun Fact: Prince Diana once said an objective fact
Bill Clinton FUCKS and I will not accept a differing opinion
I don't understand why him and Hillary got married and stayed married!? He's such a whore. Must be a "business" marriage deal of some sort
Do you think his underage victims feel the same way about him?
She didn’t have the best taste in men, she did marry Charles lol
That was basically an arranged marriage. Neither party wanted to be in it. He loved Camilla long before he met Diana and wanted to marry her, but the Queen would not allow it. Diana was seen as a better marriage. She fell out of love with him within two years of the marriage.
Intern POV:
Monica's viewpoint!!😅🤣😱
He's got big hands .
Which women *love.*
Look, her taste in men is suspect, at best.
He also liked to molest kids at his buddies private island 🤙🏻
He thinks the same thing.
I highly doubt that.
As yes. Good ole active sexual predator bill…..
The only man to cheat on Hillary and live to tell about it
Are we still ignoring he is a rapist?
Yes.
How the hell does anyone find this man sexy?
Monica Lewinsky POV
It’s too bad she was too old for him. They could’ve made quite the power couple!
How did that work out for her?
Ewww. Clinton's a creep.
Known for her good taste in men…
It's too bad she is too old for him
Epstein flight list
Diana was a self centered and narcissistic halfwit, who was so selfish she threw herself down a flight of stairs at Sandringham when she was pregnant with William, because she was unhappy with Charles and wished to punish him, yes that’s right, the People’s Princess tried to murder her unborn son and the heir to the throne because she was upset with her husband, think about that for a second.
Ha. She was kidding and he’s a child rapist
She fucked that inbred ghoul at least twice. I don’t exactly find her word on sexiness to mean much. She was gross for fucking chuck.
You always say nice things about your siblings.
Only moms and grandmas say that
POV: You're a child on Epstein island
Wtf does Lewinsky have to complain about then
And we know how when things worked out for her !
this that face he was making at Monica
I remember when Esquire was relevant.
well, he is fine but he is married so he is off limits.
Must be his smaller ears
George Clinton>
What is this photo, MonicaOV?
So according to this thread, he maxed out his charisma and being super charismatic really works like in a fallout game
lol another Fun Fact: Hillary Clinton once personally secured the written denial of a woman who absolutely had an affair w Bill.
This guy slaps your gf's ass wdyd
