My heart went out to Camilla

I don't see her as a saint. I see her as hurt.

Me too.

Yet Camilla wasn’t hurt by her husband many affairs ?

Then she should know better. Her husband's affairs weren't Diana's fault. I don't believe that anyone in the Royal Family cared about Diana.

Were Mrs Mannakke, Mrs Waterhouse Mrs.Hoare, Mrs.Carling
at fault ?

I agree, Kate.
Again, by the Morton book, Charles was quite smitten with Diana for a while, but that wore off when he found her behaviour so difficult to understand.

That may well be a total fabrication, though.

I think all of those people were victims in the fallout of a disastrous marriage, just as surely as Diana (and probably Charles)

Much in Morton’s book was probably total fabrication,
Diana was involved with the writing,

Then she should know better. Her husband's affairs weren't Diana's fault. I don't believe that anyone in the Royal Family cared about Diana.

Prince Philip, for one, cared about Diana and wrote her kind and supportive letters when she and Charles were getting divorced.

There are always two sides to a story.

Six of one and half a dozen of the other.

I agree, Kate.

That may well be a total fabrication, though.

It's obvious from early photos of them together but he must have found her immature and very needy behaviour bewildering.

None of us know even one side of the story, though.
It I'd all what we've gleaned ourselves, coloured by our own bias, as it was then, as well as now, all these years later.

That's exactly it, Allira.

The royals weren't known for wearing their hearts on their sleeves, so to find Diana in their inner circle was trying, to say the least.

Plus, there was the age difference...

Both victims of a rather archaic system.

There weren't any winners to come out of it, except that Charles and Camilla are now together, but then I think they would have always been, one way or another.

Diana grew up within the royals inner circle. So strange , her sister Jane lived in Balmoral estate during the summer yet didn’t know of the great affair, sister Sarah dated Charles yet didn’t know of the great affair, Lady Fermoy grandmother didn’t know of the Great affair

All three, in fact, as Charles wanted to marry Camilla from the beginning.

Apparently the royals all knew of the affair, Annie, in that old fashioned traditional way that it was just accepted.

They knew, and approved.
Again, just heresay, really.

How does anyone know these people were telling the truth?

I do not believe Charles wanted to marry when age 23. I have no belief in the press, I truly believe a cousin of Camilla and friend of mine, who told me in 1973 , whilst showing me photographs of a cousins wedding attended by Queen Mother, Princess Margaret and Princess Anne, ‘she adores him’ , this was a reply to my ‘she is radiant’ , wedding of Camilla and Andrew PB

People who look ‘radiant’ at weddings can sometimes be divorced a few years later. No-one really knows.

A fortune teller or a speaker to spirits would, surely?

Well, if one believes in such…..

Ah, we're back in Diana territory now.

No, I spoke of Camilla’s first wedding
