British Royal Experts Condemn Those Who Think Camilla Is The 'villain' Of Diana-Charles's Marriage

JAKARTA - British Royal experts have denounced those who called Camilla Rosemary Shand a 'criminal' in Princess Diana's tragic marriage to Prince Charles.

Britani Barger said the Duchess of Cornwall should not be considered 'another woman' and the past for that narrative has stopped, wrote Express.

Writing for Royal Central, she said: "For decades, many have portrayed the Duchess of Cornwall as a villain as opposed to the hero Diana. It is past time that the narrative has stopped.

"We saw her as another woman, hanging around with the Prince of Wales when she married Diana."

Britani continues, it's important to remember that Charles and Camilla loved each other from the start, and it was the Royal Family that didn't allow them to be together.

If the two of them did it their own way, they would have married in the first place.

"Now, I don't condone cheating, but there is a lot more to this (Camilla as a villain) story than is being reported."

Prince Charles met Camilla at a polo match in the 1970s but the royal family banned their marriage because Camilla was already in a relationship with Andrew Parker-Bowles.

Charles first met Diana when he was 16 in November 1977 while dating Diana's older sister, Lady Sarah.

Diana was initially thought of as the better choice because she was the granddaughter of Queen Lady Fermoy's friend.

Meanwhile, Camilla married Andrew in 1973 and later had two children together, Laura and Tom Parker-Bowles.

After Diana's death, Camilla and Charles exposed their relationship publicly. At that time, they were hunting with Prince William and Harry.

In 2004, both William and Harry were told that Camilla would be their stepmother. Charles, currently 72 years of age, finally married Camilla in 2005, in a modest ceremony at the Windsor Guildhall.

Camilla has solidified her place in the Royal Family in recent years. The Queen even appointed him to the Advisory Board in June 2016.

The Queen's promotion to the Duchess of Cornwall is seen by many as a signal that her son (Charles) and his heir intend to make her Queen Camilla.
