I love this outfit!
Nightmare tour of West Indies has left me exhausted, says Camilla | the Daily Mail
Of course we have all seen with all the pics how much the tour was a nightmare....
Once again quoting 'friends' or even 'close friends', when even the coalman knows no friends of Charles or Camilla have ever spoken to the Daily Mail! 
Ah! Thank you!
Oh indeed! Poor Camilla looks entirely WASHED OUT by the trip!The D.... Mail only has to change the name of the locations ...every time the royal couple is abroad they first publish a report that Camilla is too lazy to join the Prince doing the duties and second they try to tell us that Camilla is too exhausted and feels not well on the tour...
The curious thing is: Where are all these pics of a happy and relaxed Camilla are from?
Maybe we see another royal tour than the gossip magazine?

Ah! Thank you!
Makes sense to me! Women definitely need more time to get ready for an event. Men have it sooooo easy <sigh>. I am loving Camilla's evening wear. The purple and the green/teal were smashing! Such style! Such class!Of all google media sources that reported about the trip recently, only two talked about the fact that Charles does more engegments than Camilla during the trip. Which ones? Come on, is this a question?
At least the Di Express said that as an explanation:
On other occasions, she will return to the boat for a meal while Charles works through lunch, or go back to the yacht because she needs more time to get ready than her husband.
"There are several occasions when she needs to get back to the boat, such as a State dinner, to give her more time to prepare. A lady needs more time to get ready than a man," a senior royal aide said.
(End of quote)
That leaves only the D... Mail. I'd say: forget about it.
I am seeing a bias not on this website but in the newspaper coverage of this trip. I think that Charles and Camilla would have had more coverage and more positive coverage if they had gone to Slovenia or Russia than to the 'bannana republics'. The photos in rex features and the islands newspapers show that Camilla has been at most functions and has reached out to the people and children especially and they really LIKE her. The royal couple also was well received at the Jesus Church, Chinatown, Turkey, etc. I read some degoratory remarks about this on serveral other webstites. Prince Charles has always seemed to be interested in and reached out to other cultures. Camilla also seems to reach out (maybe that's just her outgoing personality). Being upperclass white people they don't have to do this nor is it expected. It is a nice surprise. Politically it is a smart move given the changing 'complexion' of our world. No she is not Diana , who was also very outgoing, but she has her own unique charm.
Your post left me feeling sad, that even in this day and age, to some it comes down to skin colour, (I don't mean you). I would imagine they see people as people, rather than white, black or whatever. Many here may complain about losing their local schools to faith schools, or being forced out of the housing market by incomers, but that can also apply to small communities where the local youngsters are forced out by well paid workers from the South. As with every race, colour and religion, you get nice people and nasty people.Being upperclass white people they don't have to do this nor is it expected. It is a nice surprise.

I am not trying to sound racist but these are my observations as an African-American with Caribbean relatives and friends.

When I was in St. Louis last year I got called a racial slur. I thought it rather funny because it never happened before. I think I would be changing my mind if it happened all the time. It is sad that people still see color instead of people. I like it that Charles and Camilla are very friendly with everyone!I think they do 'see color' I think from what I have read about Prince Charles since I was 12-he is able to celebrate all colors, cultures, and religions. It is sad that he is attacked for this. The world is a rich tapestry. Let's celebrate it.
