(Not possible, but there are some people who really like to see a ´British aging Lady that perpectly matches her spouse´... How odd is that?)

It is my personal (i.e., subjective) observation. Why should it be odd? What way does it offend anyone?
I have really bad luck communicating with people from Germany.

It´s okay if you don´t like my post. But please don´t transfer this to ´people of Germany´. Nobody here is a ambassador for a country!

You're welcome. It's too bad we can't see Charles too, but ah well. I guess it's too much to expect. After all, the Dirty Mail wants to make Camilla into some kind of poster girl for all the problems.

If you want to see a lady making a spectacle out of herself, you won't find that in Camilla's thread, you'll have to look elsewhere. Maybe a celebrity forum would be a better place for that.

[love_cc]

thanks for the news update, milla Ca. Yes, life goes on, better day will come...I am looking forward to Charles's and Camilla's future events and their joint events......By the way, Camilla returned to her old school place again? wow.....Queen’s Gate School? She will be certainly warmly welcomed.

Gossip colums are coming....

After one month with her husband and her husband's family in Scotland, won't it be a good idea to have a holiday to feel the sunshine and the sea breeze with the companion of her close friends? Seriously I don't think Prince Charles and Camilla had much rows about the matter. It is true that both of them need to take some heat off because Diana's his ex-wife and the mother of his sons. I would rather think Camilla understands him enough to give him some time and space to reflect his feelings at this moment and refresh his life. Camilla need it too so she is going out with her friends and leave him with his friends or enjoy himself in the period of slience and solitude. It is what Charles wants and Camilla gives him that. That's all. Have a good holday and this is what I think.

[milla Ca]

I do expect that: The D.... Mail and other tabloids need new bad stuff about Charles and Camilla. So the next months we will read that their marriage is on the rocks...
The good thing is we also can ignore their gossip.......or laugh about it

[Elspeth]

Just a reminder that this thread is for the Duchess's current events, not to rehash the Diana memorial issue and its newspaper coverage.

Thanks

It is finished and the summer has finished. I hope that everything will be back into the normal ways.

I agree, you´re so right!

[jcbcode99]

I agree.
Just curious, I was on the thread where Camilla wore the Delhi Durbar for her first tiara event and everyone had sashes except for her. What will she need to do to get a sash and an order? I think after the Memorial Service that she deserves the family order at the very least to solidify her position in the Royal Family.

[bbb]

correct me please if i'm wrong but i think the sashes and orders are awarded by the queen and it is interesting she hasn't been given that honor. i know for instance i've seen Pvictoria wears the danish sash when she's in denmark, so we know she's been awarded that by Q margrethe and other princesses have them from other countries and wear them on occasions so it must be at the discretion of the sovereign to award them. i think she deserves a royal order and hope in the near future she receives one. i have another question i remember diana used to wear a ribbon with the queens portrait (other royal women as well), what kind of decoration is that and has camilla the same honor? i don't think i've ever seen her wear it, it seems a slight to camilla again placing her in a second place position of less respect.

The magical "something" that is going to sell Camilla to the public and take the sting from the tabloids is when Prince William and Harry include Camilla in a matter close to them or are seen to support Camilla in her causes.

Very simple.

A "child" shall lead...

Can't wait to see this in "Current events".

[hornsen]

Camilla owns no order yet. But now the time is come for that. The Family Order would be a healing gesture from the Queen to her. Sadly the Queen is very reluctant with it.

But, they tried to include her in the Memorial Service for their mother--and we all saw how well that went! I do think that Camilla should receive the Family Order (bbb--that is the bejewelled picture of the Queen on a yellow ribbon; the Queen awards them to female members of her family--Diana got hers about 18 months after she married Charles).

[bbb]

thanks for the quick answer. i think i've seen other royals wearing them also. maxima not long ago had one on during QB celebration and doesn't mary's lady in waiting wear one with mary's portrait and mary has one with QM portrait. it seems disrespectful for camilla not to be included in this tradition.

[COUNTESS]

The queen will do what the queen will do. She owes no one anything. Why is there such concern. Either the public will or won't accept her. That is their prerogative. She still is the prince's wife and second lady in the land. She will be queen, whether the public likes it or not, just as she is the Princess of Wales now. I think she is a smart lady and it may be of no interest to her to buck trends and become very unpopular. She is in a no win situation, except she and the love of his life are together. That should make all happy.

Since her marriage, only 2 and a half year ago, there has changed a lot and Camilla has won more popularity. Her engagements with the Prince and alone are susseccful and she´s winning the hearts of the poeple she meet.
Although the media campaign of the last weeks managed a flash back, she will go on her way and time is working for her.

I know, it´s out of the topic, i´m sorry!
