by all means, change it via proclamation or legislation or somesuch, but dont flout it! The laws should apply to the Rulers/lawmakers FIRST or they have no meaning at all! Therefore, if something is out of date, by all means change it and THEN take advantage of it.
as for their love story, it is amazing and they have weathered quite a bit, and no, I dont think Diana would be surprised. I hope her boys are ok with this.
