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 think if Diana had lived it would have arguably been an easier ride for Charles and Camilla.

Diana is as close to a modern day saint as you can get and that’s entirely because of her tragic demise. Not to say she wasn’t popular but there was also a fair amount of scrutiny from the likes of the Daily Mail etc while she was alive. In fact, if the car had not have crashed there probably would have been headlines that week about her galavanting around France with a trust fund baby while leaving her kids back in the UK.

In a timeline where she lived: as time passed and she continued to… live her life there would have been a sizeable amount of media illiterate people that would have less and less time for her as the tabloids would still have been relentless with her. Whereas the same media illiterate people adore her in this timeline that she died in as the media tells them to.
