Camilla is NOT trying to 'be' Diana.

At the risk of sounding like a Camilla fan, I am sticking my neck out again. The aforementioned lady and Prince Charles have started their first official tour as man and wife, in the USA. Before the poor woman even disembarked from the plane, she was being panned in the press. The Yanks believe that anybody in the public eye is fair game, and can be extremely vitriolic in their critisism. Everybody who has read a news paper or magazine etc, knows the story of the doomed marriage of Charles & Diana, and the part Camilla played in that. For some reason, most people seem to think they 'own' these people, and therefore have the right to pass judgement and critisize, even though none of us 'know' the full facts of their lives. While I do not condone that kind of behaviour within a relationship, it is time to move on and not bear grudges. Diana has been dead for eight years when all said and done. Give Cmilla a chance to prove her mettle. She has never tried to replace Diana, as she knows it would be a very foolish thing to do. She knows she does not have the looks or glamour of Diana, nor does she want it. She is very comfortable being herself. One elderly man in Yankee land, said, very unchivalrously, that Camilla looked like Sea Biscuit. My late father used to tell us, 'If you can't say something nice about someone, say nothing'.

Camilla does look like Diana. It's only because Diana has been dead for eight years but the resemblence is uncanny.

You are incorrigable! You obviously do not ascibe to your grandfather's maxim. I never said she looked like Diand.

I'm saying that Camilla is as ugly as the body of Diana after it has been rotting for eight years. That's all. Definitely not one of my maxims.
