How soon we forget Princess Di.

She was the best thing that happened to the British royals for a hundred years. Why on earth Charles dumped her for whatsername, I’ll never understand.

Camilla is the love of his life - he should never have been advised or recommended to marry anyone else. I must admit I have never understood the greatness of Diana but I feel she was sacrificed.

She divides my opinion. I am an admiring republican.

I think, to her subjects, she is like Marmite.

Oh, I thought you were talking about the Queen.

Diana? No, not impressed. My opinion of her is not divided.

She is and has been a remarkable monarch. It says a lot about her that when people anywhere in the world mention "the queen", it is Elizabeth II, and not any other queen (not, for example, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, or Silvia of Sweden).

Well, yes, but one, if they say "the queen" they're speaking English; two, if you said "de koningin" in Dutch you used to refer to Beatrix; and three, Beatrix is no longer queen, - "de koningin" is now Maxima.

Camila was married to someone else.

I know she was at the time. Would the queen have allowed Charles to marry a divorcee?

Edward did not have that luxury.
