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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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….

Oh well, obviously charles has a "type" then, the dirty boy. smile

Why on earth would it matter what they said?!

Who exactly has decreed that what they said carries any credence?

Particularly in light of the fact that Diane has been dead how ever many years.

I think the point is if one of them was a scarlet woman (ridiculous as that is) so was the other.

*Will we accept the "other" woman we all vilified when Diana was alive*

We didn't all vilify her.

No I didn't vilify her. I don't believe Charles didn't marry her for the reasons someone gave. He went off on duty in the navy and she got swept off her feet and married another.

My granny did the same. It isn't unusual.

I can’t see any reason for Camilla not to be Queen Consort really.

Anniebach Wed 17-Nov-21 22:49:17

A scarlet woman . Wonder what the wives of Barry Manakee, Oliver Hoare, Will Carling called Diana

MissAdventure

As I've said yammy, I can't find it in myself to care, really.
It makes absolutely no difference to the royals what we think.
They do as they please.

I wasn't disagreeing with you I was agreeing. Suddenly everyone is making positive remarks about Charles and Camilla when in the past she was the scarlet woman. I suggested that perhaps it is perhaps another PR move on their part to make them appear more friendly and smooth the way for her to be Queen consort, something that would never have been considered when their ongoing affair came to the public eye.

Josianne

Talking of fingers and hands, a photo of the Queen on duty today wearing a nice dress, but why are her hands so purple?

Bruises. Quite common in elderly people, at the slightest bump.

It's an old age thing.

I think Prince Charles has rosacea, he’s had a red face for many years?

My friend mentioned that too, Casdon.

I had rosacea years ago, due to stress. There are different types, I think, and mine cleared with rosacea cream.

Kim19 Wed 17-Nov-21 21:17:30

I think the onus is on Charles doing the gentlemanly thing and adjusting his stride to suit Camilla's comfortable pace. In front is unfriendly and somewhat uncaring. Protocol can be ignored. Going ahead on steps is thoughtful and protective.

Josianne I agrée with you, however, you could compare the Queen’s hands with the gentleman she is with, they are practically the same colour.

Yes, weird. Maybe there's no heating on! Brrrr!

MissAdventure Wed 17-Nov-21 18:43:03

It must be catching! shock
