Yep. Spot on.

+1 she is and will always be the other woman/marriage wrecker.

PC doesn’t get off Scott free. This thread just isn’t about him.

But Diana had multiple affairs with married men.

And man are those 2 ugly. It’s a good thing they never procreated.

Then you must surely hate Diana? She had her dalliances with married men too.

Yeah. Not a fan of her either.

I read he was cheating on her at one point.

Camilla is Sam. She was a nightmare slut back in the day.

Yeah, I don’t like either of them at all, but… find yourself a man who wants to be your tampon.

Could Charles be essentially skipped over for William??

Does Charles even want to be king? Does William for that matter? Maybe they’ll just dissolve the whole antiquated institution when the queen passes.

I admire her for taking a backseat, not seeking the limelight and paying her dues with her charity work, unlike the Meghan Markles of the world. She’s never complained publicly and has always been supportive of the BRF, even though they treated her like a second-class citizen for years and didn’t consider her good enough to be a marriage prospect for Charles. She held her head high despite being one of the most despised woman in the world. You’ve got to admire her for that, if nothing else.

Yes. Doormats are to be admired. 🤮

She is immoral:cheating on her husband, and with a married man. Doing that to a young girl, who was in love and trying to start a family. I have zero respect for her…and a long memory.

Cheating is repugnant in any case, but the bolded is so

Oh come on. I agree cheating is repugnant but it’s different if everyone agrees they’re in an arrangement. No one told Diana she was in one.

Normally not a big fan of cheaters but from my review of history it seems very common, and almost universal for kings and prices to have mistresses. (Prince Albert is the only one I can think of where I’ve never heard of it.). Isn’t it different if that’s a cultural norm, like old school Mormans with multiple wives, Muslims with multiple wives, etc.? It sort of seems like Camilla was a little surprised that Diana was surprised by all of this. Diana grew up in the royal ambit—it’s really unclear why she would have expected fidelity. I think she drank the koolaid the BRF was selling about the storybook romance, and no one in the BRF expected that.

I wouldn’t be chums with Camilla but she does seem like she was playing by the age old rules for the royals—discreet and discrete paramours are accepted and expected. I suspect Kate knows that, and Elizabeth certainly did as well.

They ALL do it. I am not a fan of cheating but it seems positively normal in their circumstances, particularly for the men, though they are not limited to it. I agree with the PPs, if Diana had not died tragically this narrative could have changed significantly. I do think Camila probably was surprised Diana bought into some idea of "love" but that's an 18 year old for you. She was brought on as a young, virgin uterus to produce heirs and nothing more. As for Camila? I don't think everyone behaved honorably here, but I also do think they are a love match and they seem great together. She also seems kinda fun and less restrained than some of the members of the BRF. I wouldn't turn down a gin martini with her, that's for sure.

Not PP but I think she meant Victoria’s husband.
