Duchess of Cornwall hands out luxury toiletries to rape victims 'to make them feel more human' | Mail Online

A very laudable initiative. It is a simple thing but IMHO so very valuable. I know police is often helpless when rape victims finally come to report the crime because the first thing they did was shower, so destroying evidence on their body. So this really is the first thing a victim wants to do.

The gesture of giving them high quality products in order to help them "feel human" again is so warm-hearted, caring and surely very, very helpful. For nothing can raise your spirit in such a situation like the smell of something so very costly - and it shows the victims that there are people who treasure them and their body with this offer of toiletries.

I'm glad Camilla and her team managed to get the donations from the up-market producers and the knowledge that these wash bags were packed at Clarence House will give it additional value.

Great idea, Camilla!

My mother have a lot of his books.

I love the Duchess's passion for promoting literacy and reading. I feel that the love of reading is not cultivated as much as it ought to be. So many kids would rather play video games than read a book,. Now, mind you, a lot of times it has to do with the fact that the books in the classroom/school library are just not appealing to the children, but that just means that teachers should put in more effort in trying to find out what interests each child and try to stock up the classroom library accordingly.

That isn't always possible when there are limits on the school budget.

It is really nice to see how hardworking Camilla really is. I think she will make a fantastic Queen Consort and definitely deserves that title.

Whilst acclimatising to the heat prior to their recent tour, Camilla took time out to check up on one of her charities - really interesting - which is an animal charity which is focusing on the care and welfare of animlas used at the Petra site.

I love that despite hating the extreme heat of the Middle East she spent longer than was required so that she could be at her best for the official stuff - a true professional.

Quite right.

She goes about her business quietly and efficiently and professionally. Preparing thoroughly in private and, when she is in the public eye, demonstrating the perfect demeanor. Showing the right level of interest in the subject and not drawing attention to herself. Just getting the job done with a wonderful sense of humour and a minimum of fuss. That is why I admire her and always have.

Very nice to see the children very excited about reading. Very nice that Camilla took up Diana's former presidency of Barnardo’s. A very worthy charity.
