Oh, I disagree that she was disgusting or a horror. She was beautiful and charismatic which is why the press followed her everywhere. She was a nut but those aristocratic families turned out nuts on a regular basis.
She was well-liked by the historian Paul Johnson who could not influence her to mend her ways - she was headstrong from all the attention she received. Too bad; she could have been a Queen Alexandria if she had tried. But maybe she just wasn’t smart enough or mentally-sound enough. She had almost no education, which made her somewhat unfit for the role she took.
It's a shame that she didn't have a governess, after he mother bolted; that might have helped some...though she was, evidently, always mentally and emotionally unstable and extremely "needy" and headstrong.
She was immature, uneducated, willful, and very stupid to boot. She NEVER would have "grownup", and it was a crime that Philip pushed her onto poor Charles, after not allowing him to marry Camilla, when both were in love and single.
If Charles had been allowed to marry Camilla, early on, perhaps he wouldn't have gone so 'round the bend and lefty loony.
