Camilla-Queen Consort?

Nicegranny, where did you get your name from?

Camilla has Alice Keppels blood running through her vein’s who was not only mistress to Edward V11 she was a prostitute.
I feel that any woman who goes after another woman’s husband despicable.
I have no respect for Camilla and very little for Charles.
If the crown went to William l could remain a supporter of the royal family but I think that awful woman will be a major reason that many people will turn away from them.

Wasn’t it Lady Fermoy, Diana’s grandmother, who was a friend of the Queen Mother who really encouraged the marriage? Perhaps a poster has already mentioned this as I haven’t read every post.

I agree with Beswitched. Diana was much too young....

I agree that Diana was probably too young as well, although she was more aware of what life might be like marrying into the RF than I would have been. However, some on GN think that 13 is not too young to make a life changing decision. So 19 would certainly be old enough.

I agree with Beswitched. Diana was much too young....

They didn’t want to marry in the first place but no one will believe this because the press has been saying it for years and the press always print the truth.

I don't remember anyone being shocked about Dodi.
As has been said, times move on, we aren't still at the point where people are shocked about her companion, surely?

I was shocked about Dodi. I'd had a dream about him the night of the accident. We'd been having a super time in Blackpool of all places.

I like Camilla. I think she's great. She's an animal lover. Brilliant speaker and has made Charles happy.

That's more than good enough for me.

Camilla wasn't deemed suitable then. It appears she is now.

Maybe she didn’t realise just how intrusive the press would become and that they were not always on her side? Would have been hard living in the goldfish bowl and having to sneak out undercover just to live a normal life? As for Camilla, she seems a pleasant and sensible woman and what a pity they didn’t marry in the first place.

She was infatuated or was a starry eyed romantic ? I don’t agree

I've no idea what you are getting at Anniebach.

In my opinion it was neglectful and foolhardy of Diana's family to encourage an engagement at 19 to an older man she barely knew.

It doesn't matter whether she was acquainted with the family or royal procedure. She and Charles were ill suited and an engagement should have been strongly discouraged and Diana advised to wait a couple of years and get to know Charles better.

Her infatuation or starry eyed romanticism would probably have blown over by then. There was never anything of any substance between Charles and Diana. The marriage was a disaster.

We are not speaking of any 19 year old, we are speaking of some one who knew all the family , who would know all about
the procedure .

She did say of Andrew, ‘ he was always playing on games, I knew he wasn’t for me’ , wonder what she meant

I don't thínk any 19 year old is in a position to make the decision I described above.

‘Most 19 year olds are naive ‘. But not all ?

MissAdventure

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.

Exactly. Most 19 year old are naive. It's nothing to do with how many boyfriends they have. 19 is young and certainly far too young to decide you're going to marry the heir to the throne, who's at least twelve years older than you, and who you barely know.

Yes you did .Lucca

Anniebach

I ever said ‘she is ugly inside and out’ , I assume this is
acceptable because it’s Camilla

No I said it was not

Very true, that.

No one is perfect, we are all flawed. That is the story of humanity, to be flawed. That’s why we all need to forgive or try to overlook faults in other people as far as we are able to. And in the end, neither Diana nor Camilla have made any difference to our lives, well not to mine anyway.

But it's fine to rake over Diana's failings (real and perceived) here, endlessly?

Just seen Camilla on the news. Was it really necessary to post pictures of all the hatred that was against her in the past?
How many of the people who prepared that broadcast would like to see public opinions of them publicised, broadcast and rebroadcast?

Lucca

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.

I would like your answer too Anniebach. I have asked before and been ignored.

A horrible thing to say. Are you beautiful outside Sazzl? You’re certainly not beautiful inside or you wouldn’t have said that.

Judy54

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.

Yes a nasty thing to say
