I agree, OP. Charles wasn't perfect, but he was bullied into things that made him miserable for most of his life (or totally denied things that made him happy), and pushed into marrying Diana because everyone desperately wanted him to produce an heir.
Camilla and he should have married years before, though obviously the 'royal family' et al couldn't have Charles marrying 'sullied goods' and divorced, at that.
Mostly, they all seem to have had fairly miserable lives for large stretches of time, and while I felt sorry for Diana having to give up her privacy and whatnot, she actively went after Charles, and *wanted* that life. She was bullied, too, and denied things, but they all made terrible choices and did crappy things.
