Do you forgive King Charles and Queen Camilla? For what they did to Princess Diana? I am a Christian and didn't realize I held a grudge

As a Christian I think I will forgive them now for if I were in their shoes I would want to be.

The only thing that (we can prove) they did was to have an affair with each other - and, maybe that wouldn't have happened if the monarch at the time had given permission for them to marry decades ago.

Princess Diana herself was just as guilty of having affairs prior to her marriage with the King breaking down.

Do I forgive the King for officially naming Camilla "Queen"??? No... He gave his word upon the death of Diana - and he should have been forced to stand by his word. She should be Queen Consort or even Princess Consort.

@HootyTheNightOwl It is out of his hands what she is called.
@Zeusdelight BS... He had a choice - and could have chosen to not crown her in the first place, like his mother did with Prince Philip.

They spent decades reassuring the public that she wouldn't literally have the title of "Queen" - which clearly shows that the choice was there. Camilla herself said at one point that she didn't want to be Queen.

Knowing that for 20-30 years gave enough time to draft and pass whatever extra laws they felt they wanted to not crown her and call her something else... even though existing laws cover the option.

@HootyTheNightOwl I don't agree existing laws cover her not being called Queen.

@HootyTheNightOwl For what it's worth, it was QEII's wish that Camilla should be queen. And yes, if we're talking about affairs, Diana was just as guilty as Charles, if not more so.

Plus, let's not forget, Charles was in love with Camilla before he even met and was essentially forced to marry Diana.
@SW-User Why would it matter to Liz what Camilla was called??? She'd be dead by then anyway...

If you want to bring up affairs, then go right ahead... my main issue has more to do with the fact that certain promises were made to the British public upon Diana's death - promises that have by and large been forgotten.

As if it wasn't bad enough that the late Queen was holed up in Scotland at the time of Diana's death and practically required dragging back to London.

I agree with William and Harry staying in Scotland with the rest of their family - but she should have been in London, leading her nation and commonwealth through the grief of the untimely death.

Had you read my post properly, you would have seen that I said

And

[quote]Princess Diana herself was just as guilty of having affairs prior to her marriage with the King breaking down.[/quote]

Did I not admit sufficiently that the Monarch did Charles wrong or that it was well known that Diana was also having affairs for your liking???

@HootyTheNightOwl Promises? What promises? And no, the Queen did right by her grandchildren and stayed with them. There was no need for her to abandon them.
