My husband is not the most physically attractive person I ever dated. But I am very happily married for over 18 years. It’s all about deep personal connection, shared interests and values. Charles and Diana had almost nothing in common.

Beauty fades, maybe Charles was looking for a true companion he could connect with and wasn't focused on only looks? Why would you fault him that?

Camilla is age appropriate for him.

You have this backwards - he wouldn't have depth if he stayed with Diana only because of how beautiful she was. He has MORE depth because he chose someone who he has a connection with - despite her not being as beautiful as Di

This. What turned me around on the whole Charles/Camilla pairing was seeing the way they are together. You can clearly tell that they love each other and are completely comfortable together. Was the way it came about ideal, absolutely not, but at the end of the day you want people to be with the person they love unconditionally for who they are, not the glamour or clout they bring to the relationship.

They had total disregard for their spouses, children, queen, country, etc. Two selfish people. Charles should have had to give up the crown like his uncle. If he really loved her, he would have. Instead they changed the constitution so he could be king. Many in England will never give him respect or Camilla. They don’t deserve it.

Diana should be queen

Barring a hot tub time machine, you do realize this is impossible even if Camilla disappeared tomorrow. 🙄

+1. I feel bad for Diana because she clearly had a hard family situation growing up then a doomed marriage. Plus she dealt with mental health issues. I was predisposed to dislike Camilla, but now it's so clear that Charles and Camilla have a deep love and respect for each other. Love isn't picking the hottest person you can get.

I also think Diana would have been a very difficult person to be married to. It's very sad that Harry has had similar mental health issues and struggled his whole life. He's never seemed to have a steady, grounded relationship and just seems perpetually adrift in life. Mental health issues from both of his parents' sides of the family - remember Princess Margaret?

Diana really wasn’t that pretty.
Compared to Charles, sure.
Her youth and his looks made people think she was pretty.

Disregard for spouses and children, yes, but queen and country, come on. We don’t need to pretend that the current standards need to be the same as they were in 1936. This is where the monarchy seems ridiculous to those of us not in the UK, Charles shouldn’t have been directed to choose someone more “suitable” than Camilla to begin with, and while royal scandals certainly feed the news cycle it has no impact on the functioning of the country itself just like Ben/JLo or the Brad/Angelina drama don’t impact the the US government.

Diana was gullible and in love but Camilla was very much still in the picture. Everyone thought Diana would be quiet and turn a blind eye to Charles’ mistress, but they were wrong.

If “The Crown” is to be believed (I know, I know…), Diana’s grandmother who was Queen Mother’s lady in waiting, really pushed the match and even tutored Diana in the court etiquette. Did she really hate her granddaughter that much? That episode made me sad. You would think someone like that would know what that would entail and at minimum warn her. Or were they all just blinded by the fact that it was such an honor etc.?

I think you're overlooking the fact that Diana has been aiming to marry well her entire young life. She may have been in love with Charles, yes, but she was very much in love with the idea of being a princess and then a queen. Why do you think they nicknamed her Duch?

+1 terrible the way she ran off and left her kids

I don't think you understand that in that time, a woman who left her husband would have never been given custody. She tried to see her children afterwards but wasn't allowed. I'm not saying she was a mother of the year or anything, but I don't think you have a full appreciation of her circumstances. It's not like an automatic 50/50.

She has been dead for 25 years! At least Charles had only one extramarital affair and is now married to her. Diana, on the other hand, had several lovers while married. She was not a saint nor is Charles.

In her 17 year marriage to Charles, Camilla has been a huge asset. I wish both of them a long, happy, successful reign. Long live the King and the Queen consort.

Charles had more than one extramarital affair.

So did Diana, and considering the vitriol DCUM reserves for the Other Women, it’s surprising that she gets off scot free. Many of her lovers were married men.

I will never understand why people bring this up as some sort of gotcha that because she had affairs the affair he had first doesn’t count?

It does count and I'm not saying he was right to have it.

What I'm saying is that many of Diana's lovers were married. And considering how much rage DCUM usually directs at the "other women", somehow the pain Diana inflicted on wives of her lovers doesn't seem to count because what? because she was wronged first? Why does that matter?

You can be beautiful with a personality, and not attractive in the eyes of someone. I think by now it is obvious that they were completely wrong for each other, with different interests, likes, hobbies and intellectual depths.

Diana was not gorgeous unless standing next to other royals specially mid that time. It is funny you think Charles has no depth because he should pick Diana based on her looks and looks alone. You and I do not know the personality of Camilla or Diana. Though Diana always came off as naive and doe-eyed. She was very young, much younger vs Charles.
