Been discussed before, I know, but in the DT today, it seems that support for this to be the Duchess of Cornwall’s title in the fullness of time is ever more likely.

I, for one, would be pleased to see this happen. Princess Consort would be a silly title for the wife of the King.

I have never thought Charles will allow his beloved wife to hold an inferior title.

Oh Sazzl too ugly inside and out what a nasty thing to say. It is sad that Camilla does not meet with your approval but luckily many others feel more kindly towards.

You still haven’t answered my question.

Annie I’m sure I’ve asked before but why are you so utterly and endlessly against Diana ? Never a minute’s criticism of Charles or Camilla but never a minute of something positive about Diana ?
Surely there are two sides to the story.

She must have been naive she was 19, all 19 year olds are naive ,
I was the exception

MissAdventure Tue 08-Feb-22 13:38:37

I was pretty naive at 19, and I had had plenty of boyfriends by then.
I certainly would have been more naive than a much older man.

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 08-Feb-22 13:35:40

Some posters have claimed she was naive when she married Charles.

Anniebach Tue 08-Feb-22 13:35:36

Yes you would say , so the ‘must be a virgin wife ?

MissAdventure Tue 08-Feb-22 13:33:03

Why should she be naive?
Was that on Charles' remit for a potential wife?
He seems to prefer those with a few miles on the clock, I'd say.

Anniebach Tue 08-Feb-22 13:31:48

Yes, and he still loved her when they made the squidgy tape,
could have been so different if she had stayed with him

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 08-Feb-22 13:30:00

Mmm, so naive. Just as my shooting friend says.

MissAdventure Tue 08-Feb-22 13:28:43

Good for her. smile

Anniebach Tue 08-Feb-22 13:26:28

She was with James Gilby before Charles

Yes they do seem to have been genuinely in love. And he certainly didn't regard her as some kind of trophy or prize. They kept their relationship very private.

If she had never met Charles I wonder if she would have ended up with him or someone like him. A decent stable man with a worthwhile job, who loved her for herself. Her life could have been so different if she had received better advice early on.

Charles should have been a short lived teenage crush in her life, not the ruination of it.

MissAdventure Tue 08-Feb-22 11:58:06

Just think, if he and Diana had married...
I wonder how very different things would be now.

FannyCornforth Tue 08-Feb-22 11:54:43

Thank you Annie
I remember that. What an honourable man

Anniebach Tue 08-Feb-22 11:50:55

Fact - Hasnat Khan wrote a written statement for the enquiry of Diana’s death

‘They had been in a relationship from 1995 to June 1997, they
talked of getting married but he believed he would find the media attention hell, he ended the relationship’.

MissAdventure Tue 08-Feb-22 11:15:31

I read the book by the bodyguard who survived the crash, and he stated that Dodi was a childish, spoilt, man-child. (In a more polite way)
His stock phrase when thwarted was "My dad said I can"...

Beswitched Tue 08-Feb-22 11:09:19

I think the fact that she died whilst having a fling with Dodi Al Fayed has created a strong association between them that just wouldn't have existed otherwise. If the car accident hadn't happened I've little doubt the affair would have fizzled out by the Autumn and most people wouldn't even remember his name by now.

But because they died tragically and while together people blew up their relationship to be something it never was. Chiefly Dodi' s father who has turned it into this great love story, an engagement soon to come etc
And some people have bought into that re-imagined narrative.

eazybee Tue 08-Feb-22 10:43:24

I don't recall knowing anything about Diana's relationships until after her death, other than Dodi Al-fayed, and thinking she had cheapened herself in associating with him, and that she was doing it to provoke the royal family.

Well, according to what I've read lately, Camilla is to be Queen if Charles ever does get to be King!

your a bit late to the conversation!
queen consort by the way.

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 08-Feb-22 09:47:47

The Al Fayeds were all about publicity weren’t they?

FannyCornforth Tue 08-Feb-22 09:41:49

Her relationship with Kahn was kept very quiet.
Obviously Dodi wanted to go the other way and have their relationship as high profile as possible.
You couldn’t get a good story about Kahn and Diana having a cuddle in front of Friends
