Rumours?

[lexi4]

I saw a headline in one of our not too credible publications that Camilla is in rehab for alcohol abuse. Is that correct?
Thanks,
Lexi

[TheTruth]

I think it's just a rumor. I couldn't find any 'serious' news website with this featuring in the news ...

Last time I saw a picture of her, she was looking much too good to be an abuser of alcohol. But if you want to believe in Yellow Press headlines, Germany has so much to offer - and this is a quite harmless variety. I think we had prince William out to kill Camilla lately.

I saw that she and Charles had a secret divorce and she got millions of pounds.

[jcbcode99]

Oh yeah, I remember seeing that she was threatening to leave Charles--but then he and the Queen agreed to give her 100 million pounds and promise of her being Queen when Charles ascends.

Duchess in rehab? No, no no.

The yellow tab stories are the alternative version of reality that the Diana fanatics wish or some even seem to believe is happening.

Some of those stories I really wish the RF would sue on.

[Elspeth]

The problem with lawsuits is that the yellow press will immediately assume that every story which doesn't result in a suit is true, and they'll also be able to concoct all manner of idiotic stories just to see which ones result in lawsuits, which would cost the royal family a lot of money and would result in endless entertainment for the press. Unfortunately, I don't think the royal family has much choice other than to use lawsuits extremely sparingly and for only the most egregious libel or theft.

I detest the yellow press. But when I am standing in a long line at the grocery store, they just kind of jump out at me. I'm not sure which rag this was. It may have been the Globe or something like that.

P.S. It was the Globe. Here is the link Drunken Camilla Rehab Crisis! - Globe Magazine
if anyone is intesting. The Globe is a rag.

I love The Globe! And it's because they run stories like these! It may all be true........or it may not. Either way it's very entertaining! But why should the British royals worry, much less sue, a publication in a foriegn country that they no longer rule? I think they would have a hard time finding a court in the US or UK who would agree to claim jurisdiction for the case.

I think your sense of humor is the best way to respond to these stories. They continue no matter how we respond, how much indignation we fire up, so laughing at it is better than being angry.

What bologna! It is so stuoid that people print those awful lies just to ruin someones reputation, and I'm sorry to say there are actually people who believe it.

From this truly piece of litterature: "how a message from beyond the grave drove Camilla to drink - and why she now fears for her very life"

Loool frankly it made my day. I's so uber ridiculous:only one reponse to this : a good laugh!!

The picture on this page was taken just a few days ago. When I first saw it a few days--I thought Camilla was looking really sharp and happy. Almost younger. Royal Insight > Gallery Considering the source of the article--I would say it isn't worth the paper it is printed on!!

Indeed. I wondered if they hadn't "doctored" the picture in some way.

What, and blurred out the bottle of gin in a brown paper bag HRH was hiding under her coat? This story is 100% false, to even entertain the idea of it being true is ridiculous. If she was an alcoholic we'd know by now. If you are, it's impossible to hide.

Too true. Yep, you can see alcoholism in the face overtime, and it doesn't take so many years as we have been seeing Camilla. I see celebrities often whom I suspect have terrible alcoholism. Camilla does look much too good for this to be true. For her age, oh yes, much too good.

But speaking of the yellow press, headlines.... I never even notice them in the grocery stores anymore, because I am a self-checkout girl, but the other day, my mom was telling me about one she saw in the checkout, about Camilla and William "being at war"!

That is true. It would have been obvious long ago.

Considering the attention the article has received on this board the paper is obviously read by many different kinds of people.

The title of the thread is what is triggering all of the hits. Since this is a rumour in a gossip mag may I suggest that the thread be re named Rumors about....When I googled Camilla and alcholic no matches . When I googled Camilla and rehab I got the royal forum thread, the Globe, and some articles about her changing image. AND on google it comes up as a statement not a question.
