Camilla Should Go

Camilla shouldn’t have been pretty much forced not to go to the memorial service for Diana.

Camilla had faced mounting criticism after accepting an invitation to the event on Friday - 10 years after the princess died in a Paris car crash - including a call from Diana’s best friend, Rosa Monckton, that she stay away.
Yesterday the duchess announced she would not be attending, saying she did not want to “divert attention” from the princess.
The change came following an impassioned plea from Miss Monckton, who said that the princess would have been “astonished” that Camilla - who the princess famously described as the “third person” in her marriage - was one of the “Guests of Honour” at the service. (The Telegraph)

Camilla was invited by Princes William and Harry. They asked her to go to the memorial service. What possible business is it of one of Diana’s friends if her sons want their father’s wife to go? Since they don’t blame her the break-up of their parent’s marriage, on what grounds does anyone else have the right to? They are the ones it affected more than anyone else.

Since Camilla was invited and asked to go by William, Harry and Charles, she should go. Ignore those “friends of Diana”, who basically claim that Camilla is evil incarnate, and do it. It wouldn’t “overshadow” the memorial service in reality - unless certain people came out to condemn for doing what her stepsons want her to.

    But most of “Diana’s Memory” has been created, by picking and choosing, since she died.

    Camilla SHOULD go to the memorial because her stepsons want her to.
