Wow - it only seems like yesterday that 'that' photo opportunity of them being seen together in public. They look very content in each other's company. No agenda to this post - just happy for them. And the Jack Russells are adorable!

They should have been allowed to marry when they were young.

ArriettyJones · 09/04/2020 04:08

It is a lovely happy ending, complete with adorable dogs.

"Pixxie7

Camilla didn't want to marry Charles. She was in love with Andrew Parker Bowles.

Their affair devastated a vulnerable young mother.

Diana knee she was getting into a semi-arranged marriage. Fault her family for not guiding her better.

that is a lovely photo

They look so happy together. The marriage to Diana was a mistake on all sides, yes she was young and naive when she agreed to it, but it wouldn't have come as a surprise to her that she was dating him because of her suitability and breeding, rather than because he was in love with her - it was the world they lived in. She was damaged and unwell, and the Royals couldn't have predicted that. Camilla married APB to make Charles jealous.

PeepeeDarling · 09/04/2020 08:23

Wish Diana would have got her happy ending she was an amazing person inside and out.

x2boys · 09/04/2020 08:46

15 years ? I thought it was longer tbh,I met and married my dh within a very short space of time,we will also have been married 15 years in August ,At least the younger Royals haven't been forced into unsuitable marriages for the sake of the monarchy

LaureBerthaud · 09/04/2020 20:12

She was damaged and unwell

After being married to an adulterer who used her as a brood mare then flaunted his affair.

This. She was treated as breeding stock by the Royals, who obviously couldn't care less but also her own family who should have given a stuff but didn't. They decided to marry off a 19 year old to someone she had met about 4 times just because he was Prince of Wales.

They had an affair.... unforgivable, always.

dementedma · 09/04/2020 20:36

Saint Diana had affairs too. I’m glad to see Charles and Camilla happy

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 09/04/2020 20:42

laute she had BPD and bulimia before marrying Charles. And her parents were not exactly the model of stability, affairs and arguments were the norm to her. It was very sad what happened, but I agree her family should have considered her more.

Frownette · 09/04/2020 20:44

As sad as it is, none of it can be changed now.

I'm glad they're happy together, some good came of it

x2boys · 09/04/2020 20:50

Lets Face it Charles and Diana,s marriage was doomed from the start ,neither were faithful she was young and Naieve but I agree her family should have been looking out for her and they didn't ,Charles clearly didn't love her from the start " Whatever love means"

mbosnz · 09/04/2020 20:56

Amateurs. However, I'm sorry, I won't wish anyone happy anniversary that was tomcatting/ho'ing around during their entire marriage to somebody else. They made a mockery of marriage.

They are beneath contempt. The pair of them. And the thought of him being the head of the Church of England is laughable.

Pinkarsedfly · 09/04/2020 20:59

Cracking photo.

RoseAndRose · 09/04/2020 21:06

Camilla wasn't the only mistress, especially in the early days.

Diana really did reinvent things when she said 3 in the marriage, and airbrushed out other mistresses and lovers
