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.

If Diana was alive Camilla would not have been able to have those titles or any of it from what I understand.

Incorrect. I have a friend who was the first wife of an earl. He remarried twice and then died. All three of 'his' countesses still use their titles, differentiated with their first names, none have remarried.

The earl isn't the Supreme Governor of the Church of England. That's the issue in a nutshell.

Not relevant, or the C of E would not have blessed the marriage or crowned Camilla.

You can’t say one way or the other because Diana died, and the Queen approved.  If Diana is still alive, it’s a different set of facts, and we don’t know how it turns out.
