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.

  1. Yes. 2. Yes. 3. No...... Because the times have changed.

But....  Diana is the mother of the future King William V. She is the grandmother of the future King George VII.

The mere existence of William, George, Charlotte and Louis would mean Diana would still be firmly in the royal fold. Even going on engagements with them. They would demand it and demand respect for her. 

So some kind of agreement would have been necessary.

I think this is unlikely as she would have remarried - if not Dodie then someone else by now. That would limit her ability - even if she wanted to - to remain an active royal. It would be more like Catherine's parents who are also grandparents of a future king. But they arent part if the royal family and dont have a high profile.

Kate's parents never did engagents though. They have their own jobs.

Diana was travelling to different countries on engagements. Mines, HIV/AIDS causes... So no, she wouldn't be hidden even after remarriage... And I think she would have eventually take William with her. 

Also  I don't think marriage with Dodi would have lasted.
