Diana and Camila: A PR exercise that wasn't going to last

 

Once again, an old affair that happened in 1995 is being brought back to public attention. The whole issue was about the fact that Charles and Camila - a married woman - had been an issue for a very long time, but Camila could not possibly be the mother of the heirs to the throne. Therefore, they found a nice face and used her as a cow to procreate the heirs that the Monarchy needed.

I reckon that the greatest humiliation for a  young woman was the knowledge that she would be second to an older adulterous married woman that had children of her own.
She played her role to perfection becoming an icon to embellish the image of a Monarchy that rested on the shoulders of a single man. The charade could not last. Fed up of being second fiddle, she went out in search of her own life. The interview with Bashir didn't reveal anything that wasn't public knowledge already. She was the pretty face for the cameras while Charles and Camila were at it. 

What angered the Establishment was not the fact that there were affairs. What angered the Establishment is that the interview exposed in public for all to see what had been going on. They set out to destroy her and the paparazzi were just the tool to led her to an abrupt end. After a public display of crocodile tears, they brought in Camila as the wife of the heir to the throne.

William was trained to play his role and Harry was left in the cold. When Harry met Meghan, thyey mounted yet another PR exercise. Meghan was a single woman who had her own life and was not willing to play second fiddle. When Meghan publicly showed that she was not going to play by the old rules, they turned against Meghan. 

Who is behind yet another attemp to rubbish the image of Diana? Diana died in 1997, so they turned against the journalist that interviewed her in 1995.
