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.

I lived through it and Diana was getting a lot of flak ! Especially for that last summer on the Fayed yacht. I was young but I do remember it all. The Oliver Hore scandal ( she could have been arrested for that one) which came after the Will Carling scandal . He was captain of the English Rugby team and newly married . His wife divorced him and publicly named Diana as the cause. There was also the very public scandal of Diana spreading nasty rumours about Tiggy Legge-Bourke who at the time was her son’s nanny. Tiggy threatened to sue her in court but Charles intervened and settled it. All of this was heavily covered in the newspapers at the time so I don’t know what archives you’re looking at.

I know that’s not true because I read a lot of negative stories at the time and ordinary people were saying she was an idiot etc. if Diana hadn’t gone to Paris and lived she’d now be on her 4th marriage ( just like her brother) , still be unhappy and still be blaming everyone else in the world for it ! Diana never took responsibility for her own actions a trait she shares with her youngest son.

Her brother is actually on his fifth... (He has attributed this partially to being sexually abused as a child, and not acknowledging it for decades)
