I don't think that The Queen deserves any venom, BF. I'm sure that whatever she did she did for the best, according to her views and priorities.
I think that any 'venom' should be reserved for Clarence House and its selfish refusal to consider, much less begin to understand, the ramifications for Camilla.
Another opinion....
Ingrid Seward, editor of Majesty magazine, said: "This could only have come from the Queen, it could only have come from the highest."
"Camilla probably thought it was her duty to go, but now she's been let off the hook."
Seward said the decision to invite Camilla, which angered Diana's friends and was unpopular with the public, had been "madness". She added: "All eyes would have been on her. It would have been awful for her." (Daily Mirror).
The irony is, of course, that it's the ill-considered actions of Clarence House which has literally fanned the flames of the Diana/Camilla debate all over again. They should have known better, and I believe that some did.
Oh my goodness...I could KISS you LOL! That is exactly my point. It was selfish and silly for Clarence House to try and bulldoze Camilla into the service in the first place. Of course the Princes HAD to invite her. She is their father's wife. They are well brought up young men. But out of sensitivity to the Spencer Family-not to mention the overwhelming majority of Britons polled who feel that it would insult the late Princesses memory-Clarence House should have politely declined. At once.
Charles has gotten his way. He has married Camilla despite the opposition of the Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh and the late Queen Mother. Not to mention a good portion of his future subjects. He is enjoying a happy married life with her. He should be happy to leave well enough ALONE.
