Charles and Camilla on tour

Just as they should.
Partners.

I just saw them on the news , walking side by side !

I expect Charles has mellowed, because you can just see there isn't the tension there was with Diana.
Perhaps he is happy to share the limelight more, or perhaps he feels Camilla is more suited to sharing it.
(Or perhaps she hisses "Oi! Wait for me!)

Diana thought she was marrying a gentleman.

where i live there is an elderly couple, i think indian and she always walks behind her husband with her head down, i think this is a show of respect to her husband, maybe camilla is doing the same in allowing people to see her husband first, it also depends on what they are visiting as a few years ago it was all over the papers when an aircraft carrier was being named after prince charles but he walked behind as she had been the lady sponser of the aircraft.

I really couldn't give a flying fart who goes before or after, any more than the royals give a flying fart about me.

I'm constantly amazed by how many GNers know what people really mean when they have written that they mean the exact opposite.

It's not particularly a feminist thing, it's a human thing.

You seemed to have a problem with men in front here.

I hate to see women scuttling around after some miserable swine as he strides off in front having a tantrum.

Anniebach's comment about the Queen in front of Prince Philip ignored.

Sorry I do think it is feminist, maybe people just don't recognise it.

Any road up, let's go back to talking about how well matched Charles and Camilla are.
They both look younger and more relaxed now than they did years ago.

Hear hear Lucca

Phillip walked behind the Queen, I very much doubt he would have yelled ‘wait for me’

Yes but people who want to make it a feminist issue will totally ignore that as it doesn't fit with their view of life.

Who is saying anything about feminism ?? I just think this “ranking” thing is a real anachronism.

I think it's all ridiculous, regardless of which sex goes first or second.

Mr. B always walks in front to warn me of any hazards and catch me if I stumble.

Algerias1 you didn’t live in Sandringham, grow up with Andrew and Edward, the Queen wasn’t godmother to your brother, your grandmother wasn’t a close friend of the Queen
Mother, your sister hadn’t dated Charles .

She did what was expected, by her and her family

How do you know?

MissAdventure

Exactly the right way for equals to be.
My ex used to try the old striding off trick when he had the hump.
Horrible!

It is really difficult if you walk more quickly than your partner. I'm always having to turn round and wait for DH to catch up, I just find it really hard to walk that slowly.

Camilla has always walked behind Charles. He gets off airplanes first as well. She is being very careful to be a support to Charles instead of competing like Diana ended up doing. I don’t think she wants to be famous/celebrity. She seems to be a very good helpmate to him which is probably why we see him being much more cheerful these days.

Precisely. Haven't we had enough of celebrities in this day and age.

Why has this gone from a chat about protocol to the usual Diana bad Charles good carry on ?

Sorry Anniebach, I can't remember if you think I'm a Diana supporter or not.

In 1981 my knowledge of the RF wasn't encyclopaedic and it still isn't. I just saw a woman the same age as me whose plan for the future was to get married and who seemed to think the RF were a good option for that. And who didn't seem to have thought it through much. I'm afraid I was too busy studying for a degree on which to base my future life to think that it was all because she was only young so she could be excused.

Alegrias1 who do you assume she had ‘fallen for all this ‘ ?

Is it not possible she wanted to be Princess of Wales, as did her sister ?

Why is she believed about everything whilst Charles is the liar ?

Was she madly in love yet found him boring on honeymoon ?

Sorry to confuse. I meant moments when Charles and Diana were captured together having an argument in public.

Yes but Trump was the Master of the Universe so took precedence.

I do Jennifer. It was thought to be very bad form at the time I think.
