The Queen Consort

[Anonymous]

Diana was immature but not naive. She knew what she was getting into. Meghan was older and mature but she underestimated Royal duties and overestimated easy access to wealth. My 2 cents from gossip tabloids, your mileage may vary.

I dunno, I think she also underestimated the racism in the royal family and the British press, and just how cruel the press would be and how unwilling the RF would be to back her up. Even if you think she is a grifter or a fraudster the racism is still pretty appalling.

She was both. She was 20. How can you not be naive at 20.

Obviously the Camilla stuff was humiliating because it was so public but faithful love marriages are exceptionally rare among royal couples.
Anyone who thinks that Diana would have “loved Charles forever” is an utter moron. She didn’t love him and wasn’t expected to.
Frankly, the royal family made a terrible choice with her. She was unfit for such a public role. Aside from being able to birth an heir, the most important thing should be thick skin. The woman couldn’t even hold her head up, for heavens sake. I don’t know what the royal family was thinking.

But that’s kind of what’s so detestable to me. If Charles wanted someone who would silently accept his affairs step one is don’t marry a 19 year old virgin. Like he really could’ve married someone that got to experience the world the way that he had or at least someone with a fully matured brain but just felt entitled to sow his wild oats into his thirties and then marry someone who is too young to have done the same.

Blame the queen for this, because she was the one who required that he marry a virgin.

The Queen was a bad queen and a bad mother. I never will understand why people admire this woman.

You’re applying modern standards and not considering the unique circumstances of her upbringing.

The unique circumstances of her upbringing, as has now been demonstrated many times over, were terrible for children.

Interesting that you are speculating Diana. Charles definitely knew what she would get into. I would lay some of the blame on him

Oh sure but let’s not forgot about the Princess Fantasy aspect of this. Most girls(20 years olds) would fall for it all. Watching the Tv coverage and the women talking heads covering this event and you can see these women getting sucked in. They are not immature or naïve.

Or do you mean it's normal and understandable that a 20-year old would be immature and naive about it?

Last night David Muir had a segment on how the Queen sucked in US Presidents with her fantasy Queen stuff. Even strong women like Hillary Clinton were bobbing and scarping just to be part of the fairytale. That's what the Queen did and did in a class by herself.

Diana worked at a preschool and read fairytales all day. Duh!

So if everyone hates them why the crowds?

Use your head-the reserve response of the crowds is because of the death.

Diana should be queen

Yup. Camilla doesn't deserve this. She's no Queen Consort to me. She continued to pursue Charles while he was with Diana. He should have stuck it out with the mother of his children for the sake of the crown and Diana would have been exiting that vehicle today. So sad.

Well, you need to understand that your feelings do not count. Diana has been dead for 25 years and if she were coming back to life, I think she would have materialized by now.

Diana grew up in a house on the Queen’s Sandringham estate before her father became Earl, and her grandmother was a Lady in Waiting to the Queen Mother. She had to understand what the life entailed. I do think she was very naive about her relationship with Charles.

So Charles should have known better
Charles was not naive and knew how her life would change
He should bear some of the blame

People forget just how sordid the Charles-Camilla affair really was…

He was basically told by the Queen and Philip to marry someone “suitable” (not Camilla) and do it ASAP.
