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

Blossoming Fri 19-Nov-21 23:00:45

I am a Grand Duchess, I can’t say which country as it would make me too easy to identify. Mr. B walks ahead to forestall any assassination attempts. grin

Oh yes, he has to be told sometimes.

MissAdventure Fri 19-Nov-21 22:01:34

Getting above himself, is he?

Calistemon Fri 19-Nov-21 21:01:42

I really must have a word with DH.

He really doesn't know his place.

After reading through this thread, the comment stating Prince Philip always walked behind the Queen hits the nail on the head. Although not yet king, Prince Charles is the heir to the throne.
It’s mystifying that people would spend time noting who goes where. I’m sure if we spent long enough studying photos of the royal couples, it would be vary according to the situation.

I agree Gill.

Jabberwok Fri 19-Nov-21 18:58:18

Precisely GillT57.

Are we meant to forget all that has gone on because they appear loved up in Egypt,?

perhaps some like to keep raking over old coals, but personally, I think the Diana scandal was a long long time ago, and it is time some members of the public moved on. As far as I am concerned, if Diana's sons are happy to accept Camilla as their Father's wife, then it is no business of mine

We could have sent Boris instead…….

Sorry paddyanne54, these tours wherever they may be are by invitation of the host government and done for the purposes already stated, nothing at all to do with colonialism or Empire! If the royals weren't wanted,the country involved would make that quite clear. They don't just turn up!!

Calistemon Fri 19-Nov-21 17:32:34

Part not art

Calistemon Fri 19-Nov-21 17:31:35

These two countries were never art of the British Empire, of which the Scots were main players.

This tour really smacks of colonialism,the Empire is long dead maybe these people should adjust their attitudes to show they know that!

Do you mean the people who invite them?

I suppose they should turn down the invitations and stay at home, hidden away. We could have sent Boris instead, I suppose but would the crowds come out to cheer?

I think they get asked to go by the governments involved. It’s to boost travel and show these countries are safe for tourism. Anyway, they’re on the return journey now, according to the BBC.

There aren't so many on this thread that want to blame Charles.
That ship has long since sailed.
It was all years ago.

Charles said when the marriage had broken down, not after the
divorce.

What of the list of Diana’s affairs ?

Diana said she was deeply in love in the early 80’s and was only
happy when Manakee was around.

So many want all the blame placed on Charles and I think this is unfair

All men are baddies, all women Saints

MissAdventure Fri 19-Nov-21 16:44:39

Probably, I reckon.

Redhead56 Fri 19-Nov-21 16:39:47

It might have been when her husband found out she was having an affair maybe.

MissAdventure Fri 19-Nov-21 16:18:14

When did Camilla's marriage end?

Lucca Fri 19-Nov-21 16:13:20

And in the blue corner ……

Galaxy Fri 19-Nov-21 16:10:45

Yes the reports I have read all said during the marriage.

MissAdventure Fri 19-Nov-21 16:08:58

Google informs me that Charles' call was also in 1989, but not made public until 1993.

Anniebach Fri 19-Nov-21 15:56:37

Galaxy the phone call was in 1993, Diana’s was 1989

They separated in 1992 , that means the marriage had broken down.

Any more evidence ?

Oh I dont judge them sodapop but I am not going to pretend it didnt happen. And I am not going to pretend that none of it impacts on children. I say that as someone who has made mistakes that will have impacted on my children.
