A Different Take than Some

In response to some who run to the defense of Diana, and regard any other view as gossipy, there are other sides to a story, and the fact was that there were many, many more than three in this marriage, Diana bringing into it an enormous amount of "lovers", starting early in her marriage with her own infidelities, and after reading about every book there is on this triangle, and Diana herself, it is nice to see some authors presenting Charles and Camilla's side to the story in a decent, mature way. Diana used the media to trash this woman for years, not considering what her actions would to do others, while the entire time she was dabbling in numerous adulterous affairs, so in all fairness, it is nice to read a study into the other side of the story, written with compassion to the other players in this scenario, compassion that Diana and her journalists never gave them, while covering her own indiscretions, which were to numerous to imagine. Diana was a master of using the media to put out the story that she wanted a naieve public to believe, and sadly there are too many followers of hers that still will not believe that there is another story to be told, and am glad to see authors that are willing to give us the other side to this story, and if they tend to put Camilla in a good light, perhaps the woman merits some of that, goodness knows she has been trashed enough by Diana and the journalists that she had eating out of her hand!!! Good for Ms. Graham.

Let's Wish Prince Charles and Camilla A Wonderful Life

They met when they were young; now some thirty years later, they are still together, and still very much in love. How long will it take for their love to be fully accepted by the public? This is a great love story, yet Prince Charles and Camilla still deal with slurs and scorn every day. Haven't they earned our respect? In my opinion, they have. How many people do you know who are still so much in love after thirty years? They deserve the fondest and best wishes from everyone. Even Diana, if she were still here, would have agreed, by now.

An inside look at an interesting woman

Camilla is a mystery in a many ways - her name is well known, but, not all that much is known about what she is really like. This book give a satisfying look at the woman who was the third party in the marriage of the Prince and Princess of Wales. Not always flattering, but, always fascinating, it tells the story of Camilla's life in a manner that shouldn't offend any die hard Diana fans (I am one). It left me wanting to know more about her, satified my desire for trivial details and left me with some admiration on this easy to dislike woman. After all, she and Charles have had a relationship for far longer than most marriages last, and, when all is said and done, he has a right to be happy. The whole saga of Charles, Diana and Camilla is a lesson to the world on marrying for the right reasons and the need to be clear on motives and motivations.
