To think Camilla should not have been crowned Queen

[Viviennemary]

She should have been Princess Consort as we were told she would be. Instead the usual airbrushing of history to try and make her acceptable by clever spinning. And positive press. Bit sickening since Edward VIII had to abdicate over marrying a divorced woman.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
That's to all those who seem to be judging their morals.
We all make mistakes, the Royal couple may well have repented. Isn't that enough?
And I'm an atheist so have no truck with this nonsense.

Fascinating choice of response from someone who sneers at the alleged lack of intelligent discussion on here.

IIRC Wallis Simpson had been divorced twice. Just as well he was forced to abdicate, though - the pair of them were evidently Nazi sympathisers.

Oh FFS not ANOTHER ONE?!

Didn't Diana say that she knew that she instinctively sensed that she would never become queen from very early on?

That was the government's actual concern. See my previous post.

she knew 🙄

Diana said lots of things, including that Charles would never become King.

Oh, I missed that statement.

Amazing that its never mentioned that Diana had seven lovers, that we know about, at least Charles only had one

Indeed. But they bent (tore up) the
rules for Boris too, didn't they? Rich white men get what they want. If not they ,(wins award for harking right back to Henry VIII....) just make new rules anyway.

Out of curiosity, would people be upset with Camilla being queen if Diana was still alive?

Oh FFS... we"re still doing this? Camilla is the King's wife, ergo she is the Queen. End of. (And she's doing it brilliantly too, by the way).

No, the late Queen's mother was the Queen Consort, generally styled as Queen Elizabeth. And the Queen knew that, unlike you. She also knew full well that her grandmother was the Queen Consort styled as Queen Mary; and her great-grandmother was the Queen Consort styled as Queen Alexandra

As has been pointed out, she clearly didn't anticipate that people would be so daft as to believe that there is a difference between a Queen Consort and a Queen.
There simply is no such thing as a lower or different status King's spouse called the Queen Consort. You've invented that all by yourself.

This is a brilliant post, which sums up the facts perfectly.

i thought she turned him down?

Oops, I have no idea how that picture got in there. I'll see if MN can kindly remove it.e

I'm laughing a bit at the idea we shouldn't accept someone because they have been married and divorced. Which century are you from?

@isadoradancing123 Charles has had far more than one lover since he married Diana, and far more before then as well.
Diana was a virgin when she married Charles and naive and inexperienced.

What’s Camilla done to you?
Give her a break .. and accept it! Thankfully we don’t live in a bye gone era.

Maybe they should have used a cardboard cutout of Diana for op

I believe so.

But them Diana wasn't the brightest crayon in the box was she?

Quite a few titled ladies turned him down including Diana's own sister. They read the room, and saw the spectre of Camilla, Diana didn't until it was too late. By that time she was in love with him and didn't want to let him go.

Camilla was the mistress who payed the 'long game' and appears to have won - so far.

Urgh, saint Diana fans out in abundance today.
Queen Camilla, I like it. They look good together, much more suited than Charles and Di.

there was a whole secret operation to recover letters sent to the Nazi heirarchy from Edward and Wallis Simpson, as well as the constant visits and meetings they had.

I rather suspect that if he hadn't been persuaded to give up the throne he would have met an unfortunate accident.

OP the mistake you made was in believing the Royal Family when they said Camilla would never be called Queen. They were lying.
