I’ve come around on Camilla, Charles should have been with her from the beginning.
Is her ex-husband dead?
I went the other direction after watching all 4 seasons of The Crown. If the show is accurate, the entire royal family is useless and despicable. I understand why people want to drag monarchs to the chopping block.
From 2010:
“This is a story of two people whose relationship was idyllic while they were lovers for more than 30 years, but who have found things to be not the same since being advised to make what amounted to a marriage of convenience, as we shall explain later.
Friends on both sides knew the risks each was taking when they married in 2005, because each was so set in their ways — and very different ways at that....
No one, however, expected the impatience and frustration that each is known to cause the other around the house to be such a problem. Even the staff are said to be ‘bickering’ — a sure sign that all is not well at the top.
One chauffeur working for another senior royal finds the atmosphere at Highgrove ‘so unpleasant’ that he refuses to stay overnight in the servants’ quarters....
Camilla had known for decades about Charles’s obsessional neatness around the house, especially over where and how certain objects are placed, and that this had grown worse as he got older: he is now 61, she 63 in July.
For his part, Charles, as a regular caller at Camilla’s home at Raymill, was familiar with her renowned domestic untidiness....
She has even had the builders in to create a nursery wing on the top floor of the six-bedroom house. It is playing host to her daughter Laura’s three children, Eliza, two, and six-month-old twins Gus and Louis, and her son Tom’s daughter Lola, two, and baby Freddy.
There have been no such domestic or structural changes to accommodate small children at Highgrove, the tranquillity of which must remain undisturbed for the Prince of Wales....
‘Camilla absolutely adores having her grandchildren around her and is always talking about them, but Charles simply cannot stand the noise and mess that small children make,’ shrugs a seasoned royal aide...
Some close observers, however, believe that Camilla is using the grandchildren as an excuse not to be at Highgrove.
‘She finds the formality there rather claustrophobic, especially with all the servants,’ says a friend. ‘There are so many of them (Charles’s total staff in the past five years has risen from 94 to 125), and it’s all so polished that it’s rather like living in a museum.’ “

“Following recent reports that the 72-year-old fled to his Welsh cottage two days after the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral, New Idea can reveal the prince is now suffering another low point – this time with his marriage to Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.
According to insiders,the prince is feeling “dumped” as the couple – who marked 16 years of marriage on the day Prince Philip died – are said to be leading “completely separate lives”, despite Charles’ intense pain over the loss of his beloved father....
Insiders confirm that Charles spent the week before Philip’s funeral in London while Camilla remained in her country home, with a source insisting the situation managed to raise eyebrows, “but those closest just assumed he had a job to get on with and she was keeping out of the way”.
More worrisome was the fact Charles arrived at the funeral alone and left without his wife, before heading off to Wales by himself – apparently to reflect on his father’s life of service and to ponder the future of the monarchy....
It’s believed 73-year-old Camilla is currently holed up at Ray Mill House, a rural manor she bought in 1996, where she likes spending time with her grandchildren.”

I agree, really don’t know why he was with Diana if he loved Camilla.
I agree with you. The Queen is acting sensibly.
I know that I am crossing threads, and I apologize.
I just hope that you would give Kamala (I mean Camilla) another look as to sexual impropriety (and Charles, too.)
There is no excuse for affairs, betrayal, infidelity.
Agree...BUT...IIRC it was a big deal that Diana had to be a virgin.
So true. She was the love of his life.
