I have noticed that Camilla is walking behind Charles is this correct as he isn’t King?

Charles has also always had ‘sausage’ fingers. Poor chap, I bet he would have loved to have pianist’s fingers, long, slender, elegant.

Just shows, even being a Prince doesn’t mean you can have everything you want….

It is protocol. Prince Phillip always walked a couple of steps behind and to the side of the queen.

And no, of course no else in our ordinary lives would do this.

Camilla was in love with Andrew Parker Bowles, they were all
part of a country set, Anne dated him, they remained friends
as did Charles and Camilla.

Parker Bowles is godfather to Zara Phillips, Charles is Godfather to one of Camilla’s children.

What does it matter where he walks he can skip in front of her if he likes. At the end of the day, the Royals will do as they like as they always have done.
Why do we bother ourselves with all the hearsay about them, Though to stir things up a bit and add a bit of Christmas spice, the above post could be read as car keys in the ashtray. Maybe a bit of DNA testing would not come amiss and put Harry's mind at rest at the same timw.

No need for DNA. I'm sure Harry doesn't need his mind put at rest. Harry is the spitting image of his Spencer cousins. One of Diana's sisters is a redhead.

Forsythia Thu 18-Nov-21 10:31:51

He might be the spitting image of his Spencer cousins but he looks nothing like his father or brother!

MissAdventure Thu 18-Nov-21 10:37:01

He does seem to have been rather more blessed in the looks department, I agree.

--off with my head!--

I don't agree!
Unfortunately William is losing his hair but he is the better looking of the two.

Forsythia Thu 18-Nov-21 10:50:02

Harry is unattractive as he ages, inside and out.

MissAdventure Thu 18-Nov-21 11:01:02

It's all a matter of opinion.
You've only to look at the thread on who women find attractive to see that tastes vary widely Reginald Bosanquet smile

MissAdventure Thu 18-Nov-21 11:04:03

Anyway all of this is unimportant really, unless we are slowly working around to this being yet another Meghan bashing thread, isn't it?

I saw Chaz and Cam walking together yesterday on the news, holding hands, because they were hauling eachother up some steep steps. smile

Charles and Camilla are much less formal in public than the Queen and Phillip ever were. Camilla takes his arm, they hold hands etc. I hope this is an indication that Charles, when he becomes king, will drop some of the Royal etiquette nonsense that we have grown accustomed to.

lemsip Thu 18-Nov-21 12:01:43

this is developing into a rehash,rehash and rehash!

Zoejory Thu 18-Nov-21 12:26:53

How can you anyone say that Harry doesn't look like his father? I agree about the brother. I look nothing like my sister either. Thank goodness.

But Harry looks so like his father and grandfather. William is clearly more of a Spencer

MissAdventure Thu 18-Nov-21 12:27:56

I'm sure if I pulled that face and took a pic I'd look similar.

Ailidh Thu 18-Nov-21 12:32:01

In person, Prince Charles has the most amazing blue eyes.

At formal functions and introductions, if the Duchess of Cornwall went ahead of him, just imagine the "Who does she think she is? " screams and pitchforks!

When Prince Harry looks sad or contemplative, he is the image of Prince Charles across the eyes, nose and forehead.

I didn't vilify Mrs. Parker Bowles, nor was Diana, Princess of Wales ever the queen of my heart; I just felt sorry for everyone involved.

Zoejory Thu 18-Nov-21 12:36:58

Philip, Charles and Harry look very similar.

If anyone wanted to question parenthood, (why?) one would wonder about William far more.

If this is just due to hair colour, well, that's just silly

Nannan2 Thu 18-Nov-21 12:37:21

Beautiful?I'm not sure thats a term for Camilla really..Horsey maybe??

MissAdventure Thu 18-Nov-21 12:40:12

My mum was beyond angry when I didn't agree that Kate is stunning.
It's all opinion.
None of it really matters, to them or us.

Zoejory Thu 18-Nov-21 12:40:52

I like Camilla

Nannan2 Thu 18-Nov-21 12:44:57

I think the palace though (and the private prep schools as they grow up) do teach them things like that in the 'ettiquette' about walking behind, etc...outdated now really, but i suppose it sticks with the posh set, its how they have always done things i guess.?

Redhead56 Thu 18-Nov-21 12:54:27

I obviously differ in opinion reading this thread. I think the best C&C can do is walk hand in hand onto a plane to join H &M. Both women are alike and the men they roped in deserve them. Leaving the job to William and Kate who are worthy of taking the Queens place when she steps down.

Alegrias1 Thu 18-Nov-21 12:58:36

Ouf!

Unfortunately its a hereditary monarchy so we get who we're given.

Is the Queen stepping down? I missed that.
