Prince Charles and Camilla ’s wedding anniversary is being overshadowed by fans of Princess Diana who have insisted: “We will never forget”.
The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall celebrate 15 years of marriage today – and last night marked it with the release of an adorable new picture.
Clarence House posted the intimate snap of the pair on Instagram and Twitter, showing them sitting in the porch of their Birkhall home on the Queen’s Balmoral estate.
The grinning couple both held their two Jack Russell terriers, Beth and Bluebell, in the sweet photo as they donned smart casual outfits.
It was the first time the pair had been seen together since Charles tested positive for coronavirus, forcing them to self-isolate separately.
But while the comments on their new picture on social media are mostly of well wishes and congratulations, some are not so.
Many fans of Princess Diana are choosing to instead pay tribute to Diana in their reactions, and even hit out at Charles and Camilla.
They have slammed the couple as “disgusting” and ”unforgivable”, and hit out at Clarence House for not posting anything about Diana.
Die-hard fans of the “People’s Princess” have long blamed Camilla for the breakdown of Diana and Charles’ marriage, and claimed her and Charles’ affair led to the Diana’s tragic death.
Diana died in a horror car crash in Paris in 1997, a year after she and Charles officially divorced after separating in 1992 when Charles and Camilla’s affair came to light.
Just some of the dozens of comments citing Diana in the new picture posted by Clarence House include: “I have zero respect for 2 people who cheated on their 1st spouses. Disgusting”
“Lovely… Wished Diana was sat there.”
“Princess Diana was the biggest victim of this relationship.”
“I love Diana … but over time I have been accepting Camila.”
“Incredible how the time that Charles has already 15 years with the broken home of Camila. The mistress enjoyed it more than Princess Diana, my favourite princess.”
“I really loved Diana and can’t see ever warming to Camilla or Charles after the way they treated her. I have tried.”
“Princess Diana forever”
“What about Diana? Do you guys ever post anything about her or is she just erased from history?
“Diana. she still in my heart, I don’t specially don’t like them but I prefer Lady Diana with Prince Charles.”
“I will never forget what they did to Diana.”
“RIP Diana Princess of Wales”
Despite the comments, most of the reaction to the couple’s anniversary picture has been of well wishes and congratulations for the future King and Queen.
The couple first met at a polo match in Windsor Great Park in 1970 with Charles being 22-years-old and Camilla, 24.
They started dating before deciding to cut it off when Charles had to join the Royal Navy.
Camilla would later marry Andrew Parker Bowles in 1973 and Charles would marry Diana in 1981. But after this period Charles and Camilla fell back into each other’s arms and had an affair, with Camilla then divorcing Andrew in 1995, a year before Charles and Diana’s divorce.
The childhood sweethearts would eventually get wed at a civil ceremony in Windsor in February 2005 and will become Britain’s next King and Queen.
