But her genuine warmth and compassion made it easy for most of us to overlook her faults and failings which in many ways were due to the lack of true love in her marriage, imo.

Btw, Diana’s affair with the single James Hewitt started in 1986 and ended around 1991, she didn’t split from Charles until 1992, but of course Charles was having his affair with Camilla before and after these dates.

Whether Charles continued his affair with Camilla after their marriage is disputed. It is widely accepted (the Andrew Morton book which was aided by Diana) that their affair stopped on marrying Diana and didn't resume until several years later when, as Charles said "the marriage had irretrievably broken down".
However, throughout all this time, Camilla remained his confidante and they were in constant touch which was nearly as bad as far as Diana was concerned.

For those watching, this series of the Crown is really ramping it up for dramatic effect rather than the truth; the fact that the producer is an anti - monarchist tells its own story.

She would be Queen Consort.

Seems like being connected to BUCKingham Palace does that to one.

What does it say? I'm not getting what you mean.

[bitontheslide]

the crown can dramatise inter relationships, but it can't change factual history. I think if we understand that, it puts it in context

I dont have a problem with it at all. I adored Diana and I despised Charles for treating her the way he did...and like most I didnt think highly of Camilla as the 'Other woman'.
However...its quite clear how suited they are as a couple. They wanted to be together long before Diana came on the scene. Camilla has dealt with the situation as the vilified Mistress in a very dignified way over the years..she has kept herself to herself and I believe she has made Charles a better person.

Diana was a wonderfully caring woman, but deeply flawed. Charles should never have married someone so young, but we've all been advised against stuff we've gone on to do. I have no problem with Camilla at all, I think she's down to earth and quite unassuming. No one on this thread, nor anywhere else, knows fully what went on; it's all just gossip and speculation. Half of marriages fail, I see no reason why the Royals should be different.
