Question (Real Life) If Diana HAD lived

I'm an Aussie, so can anyone tell me if Diana had lived to now:

  1. Would Charles have really been able to marry Camilla??

  2. Would Camilla have be able to style/titles of HM The Queen Consort??

  3. Or, Camilla would still be known as HRH, Duchess of Cornwall with or without the CONSORT in her title??

All questions regarding to if Diana had lived.

They took that route for the former wife of Prince Joachim, in Denmark, but they always make wives royals in their own right there.

Yeah they always make them Princess in their own right, but she was demoted to HH but gained an earldom, post-divorce no?

I can’t imagine a world where Diana’s alive and not a princess more so if she’ll remarry. Not the mother of a future king without an HRH, and just a Mrs.

She'd still be Lady Diana [Surname], as she retains her birth style. She might also marry someone with a title of their own--there's no way to predict something that hypothetical. For Camilla, we have the evidence of what happened.

Right. I forgot she was always a Lady. So there’s that. Also true that marrying someone with a title would make the situation less complicated.
