Diana, English Rose

Together with the 2.5 billion viewers following Princess Diana's funeral on television, it was the sight of Prince William fighting not to show his grief, that struck most of us.

In this ordeal what would have been going through his mind? Was it the Paparazzi who hounded Diana to her death? Or, was it the allegedly drunken driver that caused the fatal car accident? Or, was it the other person who managed to spoil the fairy tale wedding of Diana? Yes, she was the very other person who devastated Diana's marital life and eventually ruined the Royal family. Without that other person, known as Camilla, Diana would not have suffered from bulimia, nor would she have attempted suicide. Diana would never have considered divorce as she was determined to raise Prince William to become a King, loved and respected by his people.

The greatest blunder Prince Charles made, was allowing his lover, Camilla, to undermine his family welfare for 16 years.

In the aftermath, Prince Charles will never be able to marry the woman who became the ultimate cause of the death of Princess Diana. Prince William and Prince Harry would not be able to accept her replacing their beloved mother Diana, the Rose of England.
