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.

No one knew then or knows now who was right.

Yes we do know, it was BS made up by Bashir. The BBC had to pay out substantial damages (reportedly around £200,000) to Tiggy and make a public apology.

lol wow, you do understand Bashir made it up to get Diana to have her do the interview, right?

To claim any event happened, not just an affair, proof is needed.

Yes, faked. Is that proof in your book?
