My personal opinion is that it’s important to end a relationship before embarking on the next one. While it is obvious Charles and Camilla are a good match, instead of being remembered as a great love story they will always be associated with their extramarital affair. I don’t think people would be bringing the subject up if Charles and Camilla had divorced their respective spouses before rekindling their romantic relationship.She's been dead 25+ years. I don't like to speak ill of the dead, but she stepped out of her vows very early.
She and Charles were two people who didn't love each other. That happens. It's not grooming or "icky."
I don’t give Diana a free ride in this, because she made mistakes as well. From the documentation I have read, Charles cheated first, and she cheated because she finally realized how poorly matched they were, and that he was in love with Camilla. It’s possible the timelines I have seen could be wrong, but I really don’t think she lost hope until after Harry was born. Still, I think it would have been better for her to divorce than to turn outside the marriage. Little good has ever come from that.
I’m sure there are a lot of people who don’t care, but when I see someone being deceitful in their personal life, I start wondering if they are deceitful in other areas of their life. There are a lot of well known historic figures who stepped out on their wives (or husbands) and I have lost respect for them as a result. I often wonder how different life would have been for William and Harry if their parents had divorced more amicably but at an earlier date. Everything was in such a mess by the time they finally called it quits. . .
