Interesting. We finally seem to see the "Camilla is the next queen"-campaign at work. NotW prints about the topic, William tells that he is not available for any media campaign for the next five years, Tom Parker Bowles reminiscenses in the Mail about his ancestors creating a very positive atmo in the background of Camilla's. I really like that and I sincerely hope it works because I have a faible for Charles and Camilla and would love to see her as queen, which is her deserved position as the wife of the next king.

But you know that she can cook complete menus - so I guess she can.

It makes me wonder, though, when does she have the time to cook anything and does she want to? And if she does, does she have a fight with the regular chef about it?

I wonder what prompted Mr. Parker Bowles to publish his article in Daily Mail. This paper is known for publishing unfavourable articles about his mother. Are more serious papers interested in his literary aspirations? In my opinion, his style of narration greatly likens to that of Mr. Anthony Bourdain (see Anthony Bourdain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).

Tom writes a column in Daily Mail (or rather, in its sister paper The Mail on Sunday), so it is hardly a surprise he was published there. Both of his books, E Is For Eating - An Alphabet of Greed and The Year of Eating Dangerously enjoyed quite considerable success and were widely reported in quite a few newspapers, and not only in Britain. I remember reading a very long and favourable article on The Year of Eating Dangerously in a leading Australian newspaper while I was there on vacation.

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but who's Tom?

I found this on one quick search there are many more some more accurate than others. -------
Below is a short summary of the first fourteen generations of the ancestry of the current [2006] Princess of Wales (styled "HRH The Duchess of Cornwall"), using the standard Kekule method of ancestor-numbering (compiled by William Addams Reitwiesner)

Thank you for the link, Skydragon. I didn't realise how many Scottish ancestors Camilla actually has. And some of the great families included. Plus I saw that she has lots of ancestors from the "Baronetage, quite some the first Baronets with high military titles, so honoured with their titles for their service for their country. An ancestry to be proud of!

This link doesn't seem to work and the site it came from also doesn't link through, I'm afraid.
