So, I've been reading Richard Kay's article about Camilla's need for advice as to whether she should attend Diana's memorial.
New cancer agony for Camilla's ex | the Daily Mail I think it's up to Diana's sons as to whether she should attend. And if she doesn't show up, it will be interpreted as a snub to Diana's memory (and everybody would be talking about it -- she'd be what we in the U.S. call "the elephant in the room"). But if she does show up, it will be the same thing, "how dare Camilla show her face here". Camilla really can't win in the court of public opinion. Last edited by Elspeth; 07-10-2007 at 01:33 PM.

She is attending. Isn't she? So what's the issue?

I don't think there should be an issue, BeatrixFan. Harry and William obviously put her on the list... therefore, she should go.

Princes William and Harry have made it pretty clear that they are pleased with HRH The Duchess of Cornwall as their step-mother, and they are thrilled (their own words) that she makes their father happy as well. Camilla has been invited to the memorial, so if the children of Princess Diana have no problem with Camilla's presence at the memorial, why are we even discussing it? It's a non-issue if we look at it from Prince Willliam and Prince Harry's point of view.

Camilla was invited by both princes and I don't see the problem. Wouldn't it be insulting to them if she didn't? It's the haters that won't let Diana rest in peace. The gesture surely shows that the princes harbour no hate; Camilla is a beloved member of their family. They hold no resentment and it's about time the public followed suit.

Richard Kay seems to just be trying to rally the Diana faithful and stir up feelings against Camilla in that article. I hope people see it for what it really is.

I added a comment to that article of his, complimenting him on a nice hatchet job. Wonder if they'll print it....

My friends and I have sent 3 since the article went online, but they seem reluctant to put any positive comments on Camilla going. They were all polite!

Interesting. So as well as publishing biased articles, they're censoring comments so that only one side is heard. Very impressive
 Well, TRF has a wide circulation too, so people reading this thread will know what the Mail is up to, if they didn't already.

Add me to the censored opinions list - I've sent an opinion (definitely polite and nice) and it was not published as well. That's what I call censorship!

A very nice article (finally!) about HRH. THe fact that public opinion has changed so greatly is a testament to the person Camilla actually is--not the evil personna that she was made out to be. Kudos to Camilla!

I think the suggestion that Camilla be present at the Coronation of Charles but not be crowned herself (like the Duke of Edinburgh) is probably the most sensible middle ground to be found. What do others think?
