Camilla-Queen Consort?

Anniebach

Which 20 years ?

Not sure how long ago - didn’t even know about it until I watched a documentary on Sunday night. Charles and Camilla have been married around 15 years so obviously would have been before this.

Thank you Pammie they married in 2005 so nearly 17 years,
i can’t work out the 20 years , they were speaking at the time of
the marriage, Diana had died 8 years before that, the Queen wouldn’t have cause to be in Camilla’s company for the 20 years surely

Not being argumentative, I do have doubts about claims in
documentaries so check some of the claims.

Perhaps they don’t feel very important and it makes them feel big.

Who ?

A woman who was the cause of the break up of a family, especially one with young children, and the man who was equally to blame would never be socially acceptable to me.
Most people I know feel the same way.
While I have huge respect for the Queen I feel when she goes the Royal Family will, sooner or later, be history.

I do feel that the recent statements from the Queen hint that she may be preparing to step back by abdicating in an effort to support Charles as he is unpopular with the masses.

Esspee
I agree with you.

Camilla did not break up a marriage

I can’t believe that this is the 21st century. Not ‘socially acceptable’? I wonder how many on GN you would deem ‘socially acceptable’? Obviously if you’re ever invited to a function at which either of these unacceptable people are present, a Garden Party for instance, you will graciously decline.

I accepted my invite to a garden party at Buckingham Palace but it was pre Camilla and I certainly would have post Camilla.
I went to enjoy the day and a once in a lifetime experience.

Camilla isn’t socially acceptable but Diana was , doubt
Mrs Manakee, Mrs. Carling, Mrs.Hoare thought so

Oooh Kate! How wonderful!

I don’t think so either Annie.

It was GSM. Little old me from the back streets of Birmingham eating chocolate cake and sipping tea in the Queen's garden!

Kate did you wear a large hat ?

Annie. Not very large! I did wear a hat with a bit of a brim but only from Marks & Spencer. We had a lovely day wandering around, listening to the Band of the Coldstream Guards (as I recall ) playing, being served tubs of ice cream after our sandwiches and cakes. Seeing the Queen etc. That is until the heavens opened and there was a terrible storm and they had to let us into the palace! I think this is a tale for a different thread.

It’s interesting Kate and you said it was pre Camilla , if it had
been later you could tell us you were in the palace gardens with
the future Queen consort

Yes I could have Annie.

And again and again and again

I went to a garden party at Buckingham palace too… in 1975 or thereabouts. I wore a Laura Ashley straw hat with white and green flowers on it.

Yes again, if affairs are spoken of why not ?

I was just thinking the same, Lucca.

Wow Annie you really have it in for Diana . What did she ever do to you ?!

Wrong Lucca but keep stirring
