Harry forced to watch his dads affair partner in the place his mum should have been

I feel so sorry for him. It would eat me up if I had to watch Camilla smiling and waving in the spotlight. She tormented his mother and wife. She (and his dad of course) spoiled his childhood.

Jesus, they are all out today.

No time for the lot of them, but your post is a stretch, they were divorced.

And she's dead.

They were definitely not divorced when Diana said there were three of them in the marriage. It would have been very traumatic for the kids and so public too. It’s not something you could easily forgive.

If Charles wasn’t trying to be Camilla’s tampon, they would probably still be together and she would never have been in a tunnel with Dodi.

If you had been forced to marry someone you didn't want to marry then why be surprised when BOTH of them cheated?

What a load of utter rubbish. Harry voluntarily walked away from the Royal Family.

Why’s he even there today? No need.

BashfulClam · 06/05/2023 10:59

Charles has been married to Camilla longer than he was to Diana. The boys have both made peace with it.

Greenpolkadot · 06/05/2023 10:59

Well Harry didn't have to attend . If he found it so galling he could have stayed at home with the missus

Do you honestly think Di and Charles would still be together had it not been for Camilla? They were ill suited and doomed from the start.

Somanycats · 06/05/2023 11:01

Well he's had to either forgive or come to terms with it. FFS he's a middle aged man. Most people have bad things happen in their lives. They grow up, get on living happy lives. Or do you prefer eternal victimhood?

Moonmelodies · 06/05/2023 11:02

Yes, people should always set aside their own happiness when kids are involved.

Barrythetimesprout · 06/05/2023 11:02

Yes OP, Diana was obviously an angel and Camilla is the Devil incarnate.
I'm hoping that the church scene from The Omen will shortly break out.

Diana only cheated after it was clear Charles and Camilla were not a short term fling but in a parallel relationship. The woman was tormenting her and rubbing it in her face too.

I doubt that - it was no secret they were both incredibly unhappy. Do you really think they would have lasted and do you really think they should have?

It's like reading posts from someone who wouldn 't pass the 11 plus if they took it now

Whereas Charles said he only cheated after it became obvious the marriage was irretrievably finished. Who cares? I think most people now see Diana as less than perfect nowadays.

TomatoSandwiches · 06/05/2023 11:05

Harry was invited but had the choice to decline, he hasn't been kidnapped and forced to watch it.

Deadpalm · 06/05/2023 11:05

Camilla was there first though so basically Diana was the other woman he was made to marry😁
There

No I don’t expect eternal victimhood and I’m sure he’s mainly moved on. But it must be very difficult on a day like this to not think of what happened, what may have been and feel sad. Most people don’t have to watch their dads affair partner being paraded on international tv.

Stop being ridiculous! Diana wasn't happy in the marriage and had her own affairs too.
Why can't people move ove
