Apparently she was invited by her stepsons, the Princes William and Harry.

I respect their wishes, but can't help thinking their mother would be spinning in her grave, at the thought of someone she reportedly said ruined her chance of hapiness with the man she loved...whatever love is, to coin Prince Charle's memorable comment on their engagement.

We live in a world were many families are fragmented, and step relationships are common, so this won't be a situation unique to the Royal family, but I can't help thinking it's all a bit strange.

Is there anyone you'd send bolts of lightning crashing down to the church for, if they dared show their face at your memorial service?

What a sorry individual this is and I don't mean Camilla.
