I was and still am a huge Diana fan. I also knew though Diana wasn't perfect, I'm also willing to admit how the marriage broke down and Camilla's part in it, did affect my view and opinion of Camilla ten years ago.
Funny thing happened over the years. I grew up and also realized a couple of things. She really and truly makes Charles happy. The PoW is the most relaxed I've seen him in years and a good part of that is due to Camilla. He knows she's there for him no matter what, and knowing that about your Partner when you live the life they do, is huge!!
Also William and Harry have accepted her. That, especially for William, could not have been easy to do.
She has become a hard working Member of the Royal Family and that was acknowledged by The Queen when she made Camilla a Dame of the Royal Victorian Order (I'm thinking it's Dame Grand Cross, but as I'm going by memory...). HM doesn't give that honour out unless it's been well and truly earned.
AFAIC it's close to 20 yrs since Diana's death and it's more than time for some to move on, grow up or both.
I will always have a special place in my heart for Diana. Always. Camilla has earned my respect over the last decade however and for me to say that is something I never thought would happen.
Proof I'm growing in maturity. What a scary thought.
