And so in one of my super rare posts....If you had asked me 10 years ago, the young 20 year old would have furiously been against her attending.
Now, 10 years on and having moved beyond...I feel differently. I also have a stepmother (who happened to have an affair with my father throughout their marriage).
Camilla is the surrogate Mother to the Princes, now. Her place is to be there to support them as they grieve for the Mother they lost. They have asked her to be there and therefore she should attend.
It no longer matters what Diana would have wanted. To be quite honest, I think 10 years on she would have grown enough (as my Mom has) to move on. This is really about her sons - the two people she loved the most. They adore and love Camilla. She would be happy that they have someone to give them that love.
I'm certain Camilla would not want to be there truly - she is facing this storm for the sake of the Princes - including Charles. The past sins are best left buried because they can't be changed.
Let's cheer her love for them and her willingness to have a storm of hatred to support those she loves.
