In my grandparents time, people were inculcated with the morality that divorce was awful and shameful.

That is because the Church of England (or RCC, or pretty much any other major Christian denomination) told them so.

And you don't think that the King's example was enough?

and divorce looks more and more acceptable to the new generations

So, do tell. What's wrong with divorce?

More precisely, what the RCC says is that there's no such thing as divorce, and even if a judge purports to have cancelled your marriage, as far as God is concerned you're still married.
