Yes of course I feel sorry for Diana. Yes I think being a royal has a huge impact. But they let young and are now still together and seemingly happy in their 70’s, despite a lot of shunning, negative press, etc.
Much as I dont have strong feelings on the royal family, I find it sad that two people had to wait that long to find happiness due to what was essentially family politics.
I'm really happy for them. They have great chemistry, and I'm pleased that after such a huge damaging mess of a life he got to marry the love of his life.
Yes what they did to Diana was awful - but very typical of royalty and aristocracy, certainly at the time, to have affairs, and I don't think she would have been easy to be married to either. She also had her fair share of men on the side (who can blame her). Let's face it, if the royal family were poor with their antics they'd have been recurring guests on Jeremy Kyle
They probably are. I do think it’s a shame that for a variety of (on the face of it) strange reasons, they couldn’t be together when they were younger. But to me it just magnifies the ridiculousness of royal standards and protocols, especially if you add up all the related collateral damage that is linked to the whole mess.
I think they have always loved each other (possibly stronger on Charles' side) but were separated by family. This was obviously bad for Diana who was also manipulated by both her family and the Royal family.
Andrew Parker Bowles was happy for Camilla to sleep with Charles, they had supportive friends who let them meet up at their houses for weekends. It wasn't like they were forced apart for decades. I feel sympathy for Andrew Parker Bowles who moved on and remarried then his wife passed away.
@DisgruntledPelican I have But I’ve always thought this, to me they seem so much more suited than him and Diana ever did. I also always agree when I watch Gavin and Stacey and Pamela has a “thing” about them
Pretty sure I read an interview a few years ago where it was explained that she likes to have her family and grandchildren around the place a lot and he isn't so fussed, like his books and his gardening and of course has his engagements ect to attend to and so they live apart some of the time and together at each others houses some of the time.
@Dongdingdong oh nice try... my parents are very happily married for about 50 years and I’ve been with dh for 15. Luckily We could all just get married to who we wanted - there were no protocols to follow etc.

I think that they are in love but she likes to live in her house where she sees her family and he prefers the solitude of Highgrove. I understand that they don't spend much time together.
I think it's important to remember that he wasn't told he couldn't marry Camilla, she didn't want to be the Princess of Wales - which was convenient for the Royal Family anyway as they had a rather gross fascination with him marrying a virgin
More of an example of genuine love of themselves - they were incredibly selfish and hurtful. I'm sure there is a bittersweetness about it if they think of the trail of destruction they caused.

Nothing wrong with that. Horses for courses ext
This to me sounds like the perfect marriage. I couldn't ever bear to be in anyone's pockets and if I had the wealth to have 2 houses I would
