Well, by the same token, she was their mother I personally think the Queen of England did not mind Diana as much as people think, but saw her as an opportunist, which she mostly was in the end IMO. I get that they set her up in that marriage, but I also think she was not as naive as most think. In the end, I tend to agree with whoever said the only one who behaved with any dignity in that matter was Camilla I did think it was a huge ceremonial gesture for Queen Elizabeth to bow her head (she bows to no one in her own country) as Diana's coffin rolled past her on the street. I think she did it out of respect for her grandchildren.

But, I am aware others see Diana as a saint who could do no wrong. I also freely acknowledge that the good she did for the world is long lasting and she was an admirable person for that.
