I'm glad that people are at long last seeing Camilla for the good influence she is and that they really are very happy together. And I have a huge amount of respect for the fact that she's NEVER spoken or even commented publicly about her relationship with Charles, before or after their marriage. If Diana had kept her trap shut things might have turned out differently for her.

Sorry A*O but you are incorrect. In the years of her being the official mistress, Camilla had a standing once a week briefing to her friend the editor of a sympathetic newspaper. After first having hand picked Diana Spencer as an absolute mouse, Camilla was in fact one of the chief 'Diana is insane, and imagining all kinds of things' leakers when Diana was no longer willing to play the mouse. Also, her former Parker Bowles brother in law was widely quoted as having said that Charles and Camilla spent the night before the Charles and Diana wedding tearing up the sheets. There was no chance for that marriage to work with the High Puppetmistress pulling Charles' strings, among other things.
