God Save the Queen! Especially from those who disparage her for the Princess Di fiasco...

I always thought the way Diana was treated by the royals was disgusting. This has left me with very little respect for the queen and her royal bearing and I won't even get started about Charles and Camilla. I like the kids, but as they also have all that aristocratic baggage, who knows how that will turn out?

With a 17 million pound divorce settlement, Diana didn't do too badly.

What I really can't understand with most of the comments on here apart from myself not one poster has condemned the two grandmothers who were the instigators of the whole episode and without their interference, Charles and Diana would never have met and married.

The one thing Camilla has never done and that is to do a television interview the way that Diana did to manipulate the press and public, it is so wrong to condemn Charles and Camilla without condemning others as well, namely the two grandmothers.
 
Camilla messed with a married man... She knew he was married... and had small children... That makes her a PIG... just like Charles. I don't give a rat's patoot what Diana was guilty of knowing before she married him... I don't condone her cheating either.. but I can see why she did it.
 

I can't believe anyone cares like you guys seem to! Nothing that happened affects any of us.Is your own life so boring that you need to live vicariously through others?
Your idle interest in the affairs of the rich and famous is the exact thing that led to her death.
So lets perpetuate the celebrity worship!
 
Yes AC, Camilla was married but Camilla and Charles first met in 1971............. the relationship was put on hold after Charles travelled overseas to join the Royal Navy in early 1973; however, it ended abruptly afterwards, Camilla went on to marry Andrew Parker-Bowles,they had had an on off relationship since the 1960's....in 1994 Charles admitted that the relationship between him and Camilla rekindled after his marriage had "irretrievably broken down" in 1986.

 Reportedly, Parker Bowles gave consent to the relationship during their marriage, while he also saw other women.

If you mean Diana, there is no celebrity worship from myself, and tell me what is wrong with putting the truth out there?????

Oh, puhleeeze. Nobody is living vicariously through anyone. Your post is judgmental and insulting to anyone who comments or has an opinion about anyone in the news. You have no idea what out lives are like, be they boring, mediocre, or exciting. If we want to talk about celebrities 24/7 that's our business. Don't worry about it.

Her being a "leggy blonde" had nothing to do with it. The fact was she was used. Charles never had an intention of being faithful and planned to cheat on her with his "beloved" even before he married Diana is what does not sit well with me.

I agree. It appeared to me that she went into it expecting it to be a real marriage, which of course it never was, and he never intended for it to be. Charles never really wanted her as a wife, he only wanted her to produce an acceptable heir and a spare. She got a raw deal.

Yes she did... and I don't "worship" Diana.. she was a bit of a Drama Queen for sure..
 
This topic is now making me a hanker for a drink, too. Maybe a little gin in my orange juice would do...
