Camilla

I wasn't such a big fan of Diana but I totally understand how people dislike how Charles treated her. I do quite like Camilla and she really hasn't made waves whilst married to Charles, I just feel sorry for her having to put up with his petulent, child-like behaviour, even at 74. I'm just hoping people who loved Diana, don't do the pledge simply because they want to be part of the 'ceremony'. It would seem a bit hypocritical.

That’s disgusting Vintagenonna. I’ve reported your post.

I think your confused as to what is emotional Intelligence
You’re asking us to show some to the OP, when in fact, you mean, show some sympathy.
The OP stated i’m struggling You have zero emotional intelligence if, as an adult woman you are struggling over an event that had zilch impact on your life.

Do we know how Charles treated Diana or do we believe what
Diana said about how he treated her ?

Loved Diana !

Andrew Parker - Bowles is going to the Coronation, he was also a Page at QE coronation.

Utter nonsense that the Crown should have passed to William not Charles.

The late Queen Mother certainly was not the suitable pick for Queen consort by her In laws, she was the 'Spares " choice.
She did okay, so will Queen Camilla.

I couldn’t imagine sorting the world out with a bottle of whisky and Diana. But I certainly could with Camilla.
Diana was a very attractive lass but even her most avid fans must admit that her turnover of sexual partners would have greatly embarrassed her sons if she had lived. Shame her mother wasn’t available to give advice.

Her mother bought her the London flat. She gave advice not to
get involved with Fayed.

Yes, Charles should have married Camilla. But to me she is still the other woman and Charles as head of the Church of England broke his marriage vows. Admit Camilla far better suited to him than Diana but adultery hurts very deeply. No, I won't watch it and the Camilla word does not bode well with me at all.

Yes adultery hurts, how many were hurt by Diana’s affairs with
married men

Diana has been canonised by popular opinion but was no saint herself and knew how to play to the press. Camilla obviously makes Charles happy and that should be the main thing. She's married to the King so will be Queen, end of!

There are some absolute saints amongst the posters aren’t there?

Has it crossed your mind that Charles might be on the autistic spectrum? As an autie myself I recognise a lot of the signs in what we have heard about his early years. It would have gone unrecognised then of course, as the condition wasn't fully understood. It's also consistent with his reluctance to engage in conflict, and with his irritability with things in the wrong place for him, particularly in somebody who is by all accounts an easy-going sort of person most of the time.

My autism wasn't understood as a child either. I was dismissed as 'clumsy' and 'in a permanent dream' as well as being prone to periodic meltdowns. I suspected for a long time that I was on the spectrum and it was well worth the fight to get a formal diagnosis however late in life. A lot of things in my past make a lot more sense now, and it had put my mind at rest about many things that bugged me.

There's nothing wrong with being autistic by the way. It's not an illness, it's just another way of thinking and seeing the world.

This was Diana - affair with Barry Manakee married with children, he was killed in a road accident.

Diana, in her book, criticised where his ashes had been scattered, no thought for his wife , such cruelty.

We know quite a bit about how Diana treated Charles. She tormented him about his quiet thoughfulness, threw things at him and screamed at him that he wasn't a proper man, that he wasn't fit to be king, and that she'd make sure that he never was and that her boys got there in front of him.

When Charles married Camilla it was announced that when Charles became king, Camilla would be known as the Princess Consort. The late Queen said last year, that she wanted Camilla to be styled, Queen Consort.

Charles is not autistic. His presentation is as a result of his very odd upbringing and miserable time at school.
Diana never committed adultery until after she'd found out how Charles had been cynically carrying on behind her back.

Not.a royalist by any means but Charles and Camilla do seem to be well suited. I haven't got any particular feelings re Camilla but I don't think highly of Charles. He used Diana to give him heirs and it appears was unfaithful to her from the start and became jealous of her charisma and popularity. Not a man to be respected imo.

One would think a woman who had allegedly suffered the hurt of her husband’s alleged affair wouldn’t have at least three affairs with married men and with a man engaged to be married.

🤣🤣🤣 past it on its not a football it doesn’t work that way. Trot down to the library and get some history book’s. Diane died many years ago life goes on. He got remarried to the woman he loves long live queen Camille to upset ppl like you 🤣🤣🤣

How on earth does anyone know that these things are true?!
And of what relevance are they?

Some posters have very rigid views and those views are not to be denied under any circumstances

My alternative title for the Queen Consort has been deleted.

Sorry, Grans. I blush . . .

I didn't think the the term 'Commoner' to describe her was accurate.

It has a very specific meaning in my county - it implies the right (held by a very few) to graze sheep, ponies, cattle and donkeys.

People who have been very hurt emotionally can suffer dreadfully, especially if they are fairly young. Emotional hurt may lead to mental instability and poor decision making - a seeking for love and reassurance.

It would have been wonderful if Charles and Diana had lived
‘ happily ever after ‘, but it wasn’t to be, and that’s life. At one time, divorce would have been unthinkable, but times have changed. It freed Diana to get on with her life, which, of course, sadly wasn’t a long one.

This, and if we believe what the press say, Diana was a virgin when she married Charles. She became a very beautiful woman, men sought her out. She had some affairs - off with her head

and if we believe what the press say, Diana was a virgin when she married Charles
But we are endlessly told on GN, not believe what the press say.
