I just hope the crowds are respectful when she arrives too. I may not be the biggest fan, but I would not enjoy someone being hounded like that.

...but two days later nobody will talk about it
So what, they are far from being important are they.I personally don't think it would be a good idea for Camillla to assist in the memorial of Diana because she isn't really liked by some Daina fans.
Are you saying that Diana would not have matured over the last 10 years and would still be bitter and twisted!First of all, you have to think about how Diana would feel about her being there. Diana would probably be strongly against Camilla being there (Diana would probably be strongly against the marriage in general......
I´m yearning for "the day"! Than this (I´m sorry) stupid question will be history. Camilla attended the service, everyone will talk about her dress and her perfect behavior and that was it.
I personally hope that she stays home, just to honor Diana in that way, because she hurt her so much. But it will be quite interesting to see what she ends up doing.
If William and Harry asked her to be there, then I think she should do what the "boys" want, it doesn't matter how old they get to me they will always be Diana's boys. If they can accept and forgive Camilla, who are the press to make any comments about her presence. Obviously, the boys have figured out that she makes their father happy, I just hope they weren't pressured to "ask" her.Well I think she will go. She was asked by William and Harry and I think it would be better if she didn't go because maybe the press would say she feels guilty but it's not as bad as saying she has not respected Diana by going IMO. If she doesn't go, people will say : maybe she feels guilty but at least she respected her by not going. If she goes they'll say : I can't believe she dared to assist !
In any case she will be stabbed by the press but as a Diana 'admirer', I would prefer her not to assist or if she does, to be very careful. But in any case I understand her choice, which is a very difficult one.
It is not a service to 'honour' Diana, it is a service to remember a woman who died 10 years ago and all the 'works' she did.
Not normally, no, a memorial service is a standard church service, with favourite hymns, readings, psalms etc.Isn't that the same thing as honoring her?
No, as I keep saying a memorial service is to remember her and what she meant to the people invited to attend.They are honoring her, by having a memorial service for her. It is a church service, but they are having it to honor Diana, her life, and her good works.
Very well said.Everything seems quite simple for me - Prince William and Prince Harry have invited their stepmother (whom they 'love to bits'), she agreed to attend the memorial, and she will attend it.
That of course is a matter of opinion, not that I can think of one good thing she did for the UK, throughout this board there are divisions. Diana seemed to herald in the 'I'm a victim, pity me, tell all' culture. If she was still alive she would probably have been on Tricia or one of the other trashy tell all programmes.She did quite a bit of good for the United Kingdom, personal life aside, whether anyone dislikes her or not. That is a fact of life. She changed, not necessarily directly, the Monarchy in some ways for the better and forced change and modernization in areas where it was needed.
I think Camilla will keep that stiff upper lip and do what is wanted by William and Harry.
All this talk about Camilla v Diana... After ten years isn't it about time for it to stop. Give it another ten years and there will an entire generation that never saw Diana and will care less.....
Time marches on and people keep putting Diana on a pedistol ...yes she was wonderful person who did good things ..but isn't it about time she is left in peace ..... Do you really think the boys enjoy seeing and hearing about the mud slining over their mother and Camilla.....
Camilla is invited from the Princes William and Harry. And she will attend the memorial service. You can read it on the Prince of Wales website!
The absolutely right decision!
She´s the wife of the Prince of Wales and the stepmother to the two Princes. They all want to have her there. And she will be . I´m sure by the side of her husband and nowhere else.
She won't. Outsiders may, but she won't.she shouldn't make a huge deal of herself being there.
She will be.She should be discreet about it.
