[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sometimes think it was kinder that Diana did not live to see all this.[/quote]

Not for her sons and grandchildren! Diana would have still been a force in the monarch as mother/grandmother to heirs of the throne. [b]Imagine how things would have played out for Meghan & Kate to have Diana as their MIL.[/b] So sad she missed out on happier decades to come.[/quote]

Kate and Diana would have been at each others throats. [b]Or actually, I don't think Kate would have married Will.[/b] [/quote]

Absolutely not. Diana would've counseled Will that if he's making a girl wait around, she's not the one for him.

I can only imagine the advice Diana would give to a young Kate - "Darling, have a bit of self respect. He's making you wait. You deserve someone excited to be with you."[/quote]

This is a fascinating thought experiment. I struggle to imagine what Diana would have thought of Kate. Your theory has some merit but I also think Diana would have recognized the things in Kate that made her well suited to what Diana knew more than anyone can be a very, very difficult role, and might have encouraged the match if she though William was really willing. I hav never known what to think of the William cheating rumors (could be true? could be tabloid bollocks?) but IF they are true and IF it's true that William kind of landed on Kate by default, I have to imagine that would have been triggering for Diana and hard for her to support/approve of.

Unpopular opinion that might send this thread off the rails: I think Diana would really like Meghan. Diana loved Hollywood, was very drawn to Americans generally, and I think shared some key personality traits with Meghan that would have made them fast friends. I think she would have been an ally to Meghan during the whole debacle in the UK with the press and the intense criticism especially during Meghan's pregnancy, and I think having Diana publicly pointing out the racism and asking for kindness would have gone a long way towards minimizing the attacks and also making Meghan feel like someone other than Harry had her back, which was really the source of the whole decision to leave.[/quote]

Tbh, I see shades of Charles’s “logical decision” to marry Diana in William’s decision to marry Kate. It was without much passion. It was the “right” thing to do and the “appropriate” person.

Unlike Charles, I don’t think William is carrying on an affair. Charles was a selfish whiner and William seems a lot more disciplined. He knows any affair will get out to the tabloids and ruin his family dynamic. William had a terrible childhood and doesn’t want that for his kids. If William is miserable in his marriage, he learned from QEII the importance of suffering in silence as part of his duty. Dopey Charles didn’t learn that lesson. [/quote]
I think William cheats. All his male role models have AND you can make the same argument about Charles that you are making about William. He also had a terrible childhood and saw his mother cheated on. I think the main difference is Charles is a liar to others and himself. If Wiliam cheats (which I think he does) he probably was honest with Kate from the beginning that would be part of the situation. Hence his decision to marry someone his own age rather than a 19 year old. [/quote]

So having a terrible childhood and [b]seeing your mother cheated on makes you a cheater?  [/b][/quote]

Statistically, yes. Kids who grow up in homes where there is cheating are more likely to cheat. Add in that its generationally family tradition since forever, it would be a real anomally for William to not cheat. I'm sure he does, Kate knows the deal and DNGAF. [/quote]
