Hi everyone, this is my first post!
Regarding Diana’s memorial… I can say I am a very loyal “Diana fan” and I was upset Camilla was going to the memorial. From my point of view it would be inappropriate, but they wouldn’t be the only ones I think shouldn’t be there (for the only reason lots of these people didn’t like Princess Diana at all). I don’t think too much of the princes inviting her because, come on, even if they didn’t want her there they couldn’t really say no. Maybe they wanted her, maybe not, I really don’t know and in my opinion it doesn’t matter. Since she’s Prince Charles’s wife and HE was going to be there, I thought she should be too, as his wife.
Even though I really don’t like her that much, I think Camilla was the victim here and I feel very sorry for her. She was in a difficult position to start with, and I agree with the poster who said they should have thought VERY carefully before any announcement was made and LISTEN to the Queen’s advice seriously – she’s the Queen after all. They way it has been done is so terrible, it shows the Royal family bowing to the press, and not only the press in general, but BAD press at the LAST minute. Who knows what they will do in the future to avoid being seen as the “bad guys”.
Having said that, in my opinion, the biggest one to blame in this whole fiasco is Charles. I don’t care what his advisers were telling him, he’s supposed to make the final decision and it seems – from several accounts – Camilla didn’t want to go from the beginning but he INSISTED. As usual, it’s always about him, if HE wants her to be there she has to be there, no matter what . Pulling out this late, and only after the Queen’s intervention just shows – again – how weak he is, as a man, as a husband, as a prince.
I cannot even imagine the monarchy after QEII is gone… it’s not going to be any good.
All this in my opinion, of course!
