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

She would have brought more peace to family.

LOL that's hilarious. I like Diana a lot but let's be real, she was an epic sh$t stirrer. Maybe the kids would be different with her? But as for any resulting drama she'd be thriving in it.

I wish i was older when all of that was going down to really enjoy it. Wearing a dress designed by Charles’s other AP to make Camilla mad is top tier.

She is not "very ugly". She is average.

She is well below " average". She was just as bad looking when she was young.

I lived in the UK for several years while DH worked for a US government office there. We were told in no uncertain terms (by his agency) that it would be inappropriate for us to give our opinions of the royal family and weigh in about any other British government-related matters. Because we were guests, sure, but also because the BRF really has nothing to do with us.

So here on this thread, I can't help thinking it is a matter of opinions being like arseholes: everybody has one (and none of ours matters to the BRF).

Lady we are not diplomats here. We're gossiping. No one cares what your husband's boss told him you should or shouldn't say about the BRF. Good Lord.

You don't see how foolish and pointless this gossip is?

Queen Elizabeth said she shouldn’t be Queen. Charles made her queen. Charles’s dad wasn’t king. Same thing.

I believe queen Elizabeth gave the go ahead later.

She did. Camilla has been “the Queen” (not consort) for sometime now.

No she didn't. QEII said Camilla would be queen consort in 2022 before she died (like 7 months before she died). There was a public announcement. At QEII's funeral events, Camilla was queen consort, as QEII wished. It was not until the coronation that Charles decided to drop the "consort" and the invitations to the coronation had her as just the queen. That was a decision Charles made AFTER QEII's death (which he can make and wasn't that surprising).

QEII did not "give the go ahead" on Camilla being queen and made it pretty clear that she wanted/expected Camilla to be styled as queen consort when Charles ascended to the throne. But all she could do was make her wishes known -- Philip wasn't even around to impose familial pressure to follow QEII's wishes, and Charles did as he pleased.

It's good to be The King

She will always officially be Queen Consort no matter what is written.

And even though Kate is called Princess, she is not. You can only be born a princess. Her official title is Princess William of Wales but usually goes by the less formal, Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge.
