‘Americans still have Camilla grudge for replacing Diana’, says US journalist
Many Americans still hold a "grudge" towards Queen Camilla and feel like she will be taking the place of King Charles' ex-wife Princess Diana, a top US journalist has claimed.
Deborah Roberts, the Senior National Affairs Correspondent for ABC News, said a lot of people in the US were enamoured with Diana's charm and grace, and still haven't got over her 1997 death.
Roberts, who travelled to London to cover Harry and Meghan’s wedding, the Platinum Jubilee and the Queen’s funeral, claimed that while many Americans pretend they don't really care about the monarchy, they secretly have a fascination with everything royal.

Speaking to Radio Times this week, she said: "Charles is a man who a lot of people associate with breaking Princess Diana’s heart, and Camilla is going to be referred to as Queen, not Queen Consort, so there’s that feeling that another woman is taking Diana’s place next to the king on the throne."
Roberts admitted she is surprised that, for the most part, a lot of Americans have not forgiven the royals for how Diana was treated and still "hold a grudge".
"They feel this woman wasn’t treated well and that will probably endure for a while," she explained, adding that Americans related to Diana when she held babies who were infected with Aids and danced with John Travolta at the White House.
She added: "Diana embodied that spirit of being carefree and promoting equality – she was as close to an American in the British royal family as somebody could imagine."
This comes after Paul Burrell, former royal butler and footman to the late Queen, claimed Camilla will be thinking of Diana during her Coronation.

Sharing his thoughts on how dazzling Diana would be if she were still here, Paul insisted that the late royal would be 'outshining' everyone at the procession and would be looking 'glorious'.
In terms of there still being 'bad blood' between Diana and Camilla, Paul said he feels as though it would all be water under the bridge for the pair as he's certain that Diana would have moved on and found true happiness having achieved her life's goals.
"I always think to myself, ‘What would she do in this situation?’ And she would have been at the coronation looking glorious, in her sixties, outshining everyone the way she did," Paul told OK! Magazine.
"I don’t think she would hold any animosity at all towards her ex-husband or towards her ex-husband’s wife.
"I think she would have gone on in life and achieved her own ambitions, still being royal and regal."
