Camilla-Queen Consort?

GagaJo

I was married longer, but I left. No affairs from either of us. Just unhappy marriage. I don't see any other way of viewing Diana. She was, as a long married friend of mine dubbed her, Rent-a-Womb.

And they were both victims of that system- and very unhappy.

I for on am glad Charles has found real happiness with Camilla, and have to problem at all with her becoming Queen consort.

Ummm I would hope not, BUT? he spoke warmly about his father in various interviews before and just after his marriage, but now he hasn't a good word to say about him. If he wants these so called memoirs to sell, they are going to have to contain outrageous goings on else no one will be interested and the money won't flow. Mind you I have a sneaking feeling that the jubilee could overshadow the memoirs, not the other way round. We live in hope.

Kali2, I totally agree with you.

I really don't mind, which I'm sure will put charles and camillas minds at rest.
I just find it distasteful to keep harping on about a woman who has been dead for who knows how long.

I know times and attitudes change, Diana had her flaws I know but, rather like Princess, Anne, people took to her, and she did an awful lot of good. As to Camilla, I struggle to see how a woman could be so cruel not only to her family, but to a young woman who we know was only used as a brood mare for an HEIR. I wish the crown could be handed down to William, not Charles. In the light of all the other stuff going on, for myself I can only conclude it may be time to retire the royals, sadly. Morality is taking a beating and its a shame. How one woman could do that to another is, beyond me. You'd have to be a selfish cold hearted individual who got what ever they wanted when they wanted it, regardless of your family. Camilla had kids. I'm sure they aren't proud of her behaviour.

SeaNain, how are you sure about that? Did you ask them if they are proud of their mother’s behaviour any more than you’d ask W&H to comment on their mother’s behaviour?

The only fact I know of is, Charles dated Diana’s sister. I have no other facts straight from the horses mouth.

How could Diana who was allegedly betray get involved with Barry Mannakee whom she loved ,he had two children, Will
Carling, Oliver Hoare all married,

Sorry but maybe this is not a popular opinion but to me I think she is Queen of Tarts.
Charles and her ruined Diana's life causing mental health and bullemia because of their affair. She even went to their wedding knowing she was sleeping with the groom. Charles deliberately married Diana to use her for an heir. He never loved her or cared about her. They are both disgusting people and as for King and Queen just 2 adulterous people. Who would curtsey and bow to them? Diana was 19 when they got engaged and very naive.
She even tried dressing like Diana at one point but she's too ugly inside and out.

Was surprised to see that this thread was still active today so have just come on to take a look, only to find that Diana is still being slagged off by the usual suspects who are raking up the same old stories.

Can't she just be left to rest in peace? (I think I posted that on p.2 or 3)

I think the Queen was right to make her wishes known about wanting Camilla to be Queen Consort when Charles becomes king.

‘^Diana was 19 when they got engaged so very naive^‘.

I was engaged at 17 and married at 19. As has been said upthread, she was not naive about the RF, having mixed in their circles her whole life. And a friend who used to go shooting with Earl Spencer has told me enough for me to know that she was anything but naive in other respects and actively pursued Charles. My friend is a person of integrity and I have no reason to disbelieve him.

Oh F goodness S, all this moral outrage, its all so long ago now, times change attitudes change, the marriage failed like lots do, even people on this thread have failed marriages! Its always a difficult, unhappy time, people find happiness elsewhere , Diana was no exception, she did get involved with married men causing at least one divorce, with children. Princess Anne divorced and married again , a love child involved, not a happy time, but she has found happiness and by all accounts so has her former husband, which has to be a good thing. There was fault on both sides and they were ill matched from day 1, Nobody was deliberately cruel to Diana,she was often a foolish undignified young woman and her own worst enemy, as she was on that fateful night.

Can Diana being left in peace when some are still saying really
cruel things about people still alive and using Diana to do so ?

Still waiting for evidence that Charles and Camilla were having
an affair at the time of the marriage, no one has produced any
yet.

Hear, hear jaberwok.

Jaberwok a fair post.

I think the key word in your whole paragraph is 'young'. 19. Not much more than a child.

Opposed to two adults already engaged in an adulterous relationship.

No surprise that Camilla has enjoyed increased popularity over the last decade .A different generation,? different views ? Like wise the views concerning Edward and Mrs Simpson's relationship.Memories fade life goes on.

All 19 year girls are naive, innocent, not capable of thinking
‘That’s the bloke I want ‘ and setting out to get him.

There is absolutely no evidence to support your last sentence GagaJo. What we do know is that that marriage was a big mistake and made two people very unhappy. 'Doomed before they even took the vow' sadly. They made each other unhappy and they both needed to be able to start again with somebody who didn't make them unhappy, which P.C has successfully done. Its what lots of us do so who would deny him that? As for adultery, well, I don't think that condemns anyone to a life of penance or ever should have.

And I expect Diana would have married again too, maybe had more children.

Camilla isn’t a very regal name, somehow. Nor is Diana.

It’s so sad Diana and Hasnet Khan failed to make it work, she even went to Pakistan to visit his family, two years together.

Plenty of royal brides married young and even had babies young, yet their marriages lasted a lifetime. I don't think we can measure it by actual age, but maybe more by maturity. Camilla's involvement was clearly an enormous issue, but like Annie said, was anything physical going at the time? More like Charles had stuff going on in his head and only Camilla seems to be skilful at understanding him. But what do I know?

I think the reason the Queen as made this announcement, is that no one can can say it would not be something she would have wanted when she is gone. I wish people would get over Diana, they married it was not a happy marriage they divorced end of. Prince Charles married the women he always wanted to marry in the first place.
