The Duchess of Cornwall Current Events 3: September-December 2006

[Skydragon]

Camilla has so many death threats in England that it is hard to protect her. And that she has almost walked out on Charles a few times.

Is any of this true?

NO, she is no harder to protect than any other member of the royal family. I very much doubt that she has considered, at this stage of the game, walking out on the man she has loved for over 30 years. IMO.

These magazines must be as laughable as the Sun!

A lovely picture, though it looks as if she is not wearing any rings...is that usual?

 

[Avalon]

He is only around 6ft 4inches (195cm), I think!

Prince Charles is about the same height (6ft 2 inches) but Camilla never looks that petit by his side.

 

[Jose]

Duchess Camilla is beautiful for dress and natural dress! She is much more photo visit and speak with many people!!!

 

[selrahc4]

Prince Charles is about the same height (6ft 2 inches) but Camilla never looks that petit by his side.

I think The Prince of Wales' height is about 3-4 inches less than 6ft 2 inches.

A nice article, fitting with the picture Beatrixfan posted (thanks for it, it was beautiful!).

Patron Camilla meets terminally ill patients

THE Duchess of Cornwall spent the morning in Clapham on Tuesday to mark the launch of a £10million redevelopment programme for Trinity Hospice.
Camilla met terminally ill patients and was one of the first to see the architect's plans for the new 28-bed inpatient centre.​

 

[hornsen]

I saw the picture Beatrixfan posted on an earlier event. Its a year ago, I think. May be the photo was taken before the wedding for her patronages. I will surch for the event and post.

Ok, its from February this year but, I think its an old pre-wedding photo.

 

[grevinnan]

I just looked at some of my saved pictures from when C & C were in California and especially when they went to my old church. I know all of the people that were in the pictures with C & C and none of them are especially tall and Charles was not taller than any of them. My guess is that he is 5ft 10 inches at the most.

 

[Elspeth]

That sounds about right because he was supposed to be about the same height as Diana, who was 5ft 10.

 

[Skydragon]

I never thought about William FP being especially tall, my mob (the men) are all 6ft 4in or above!


Camilla to switch on lights

Well, it would seem the countdown to Christmas has begun. Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, is to switch on the lights in her home town in Gloucestershire tonight.

HRH The Duchess of Cornwall definitely has charisma. I enjoyed the pictures of her in this thread. More and more she is an asset to the monarchy.
