“Charles was allowed to marry the divorced Camilla Parker-Bowles.”
Yes, but Mum interfered in the relationship. I always thought it was wonderful that he truly loved her. It wasn’t just a fling. He got stuck with Diana. Things would’ve been better if he’d been allowed to stay with Camilla from the beginning.
I don't recall their entire relationship, but I seem to remember that he met her when they were both in their early twenties and that she married soon thereafter. Perhaps she didn't pass Royal muster.
I have to take issue with you that he "got stuck with Diana." I think Diana got taken, in that she truly fell in love with Prince Charles, but he was quite apparently still involved with Camilla: those wedding gift cuff links inscribed "Fred and Ethel." Their inappropriate relationship should have been broken off completely, but it wasn't, and worse yet, it was conducted behind Diana's back.
From everything I've read, I think both Prince's William and Harry are fine young men and Diana would be prpoud. Furthermore, I think their Father has raised them well. I think he's been much more hands on with his sons than his father was with him.
I like the Royals and I enjoy following their lives. I only wish Diana were still among the living.
