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.

Diana was a master at driving them both mad. Poking the bear.

She would have brought more peace to her children. If she'd lived, it would not have been possible or as easy for Camilla and Charles to marry.

I never said she didn't stir sh-t but she was driven to it and her husband cheated on her when she was very young. Also, no one helped her with her ED at the palace. I don't care if she stirred sh-t with Charles and his mistress. LOL

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?

Um yes she has, they didn’t return the STOLEN JEWELS and instead flaunted them at the coronation, which spared no expense for the British public, and was an environmental strain in many ways

Then she did everything right.

Being a hypocrite is doing things right? They’ve been talking about “slimming down” the monarchy and paying more mind to how much expense the public bears, they’ve been yapping about cultural restoration and sensitivity, Charles has yammered on about giving a crap about the environment for decades. And then it’s go time and they’re like just kidding, pay for us to wear stolen jewels and who gives a fig about the planet.

Like you being a hypocrite. Why are you using a device? Which harms the planet.
Where are you living? On stolen property.

I acknowledge that. But you know who pays for my house? Me. Not taxpayers; me.

He also employs lots of people and is very good for tourism. You give nothing.

So do panda bears and they are much less expensive.

Zoo people HATE it when you call them panda BEARS, lol!

You are the one who need to be better educated, at least in reading comprehension.

It is actually the title she's leaning into, as it was not a given she'd ever be called "the Queen" which is a distinct title from "Camilla, Queen Consort." The choice that Charles and Camilla have made to have her referred to simply as the Queen is actually a big deal. It has nothing to do with the kind of duties she takes on, which is a separate issue. As long as she's not the one doing the official duties of the Monarch, no one really cares what stuff Camilla does with her charities and hosting and whatnot. Everyone assumed she'd do all that. There's no indication that she's taking on a role of "co-monarch" which would be a big deal. All the consternation is about the title only.

But thanks for the condescension, especially aimed at "US schools"! It helps round out a thread on the royals. Thanks for doing your part.

If this was a few hundred years ago, Williams would have hastened his father's death and found an excuse to kill her kids

And Harry would be raising an army in France

Feels very weird (duplicitous?) to use International Women’s Day to roll out “The Queen” title

Showing other mistresses how to play the long game!

Diane had more royal blood then QEII and Charles

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana,_Princess_of_Wales

"The Queen reportedly wanted to let Diana continue to use the style of Royal Highness after her divorce, but Charles had insisted on removing it.[127] Prince William was reported to have reassured his mother: "Don't worry, Mummy, I will give it back to you one day when I am king".[139] Almost a year before, according to Tina Brown, Philip had warned Diana: "If you don't behave, my girl, we'll take your title away." She is said to have replied: "My title is a lot older than yours, Philip."[140]"

Her husband was cheating on her day 1 of marriage. Of course it drove her mad and probably caused all her other issues.

She would have brought more peace to family.

I would say they drove Diana mad.

I wouldn’t. Diana was many things. Beautiful, elegant, charismatic, mentally ill (bulemia and borderline personality), etc… she thrived on drama.
