re: #274 EmmmieG
It was 1981. She wasn’t a commoner, she was Lady Diana Spencer, daughter of an Earl. She was a virgin, and had no embarrassing past.
That was what they were looking for. In 1981, a divorced Camilla would not have done.
Yes, before Camilla got married, she had a bit of “suspect” past IIRC. She liked life, apparently, and lived as fully as she could. So … she wouldn’t have passed the virginity test they made Diana undergo. Thus, Diana, not Camilla.
