Camilla-Queen Consort?

just read this on news........

............Meghan Markle, 40, was branded 'that minx' by the Duchess of Cornwall
Camilla 'found it hard to believe' the Duchess of Sussex would 'silently serve'
Royal biographer Tom Bower has claimed the two women never saw eye-to-eye
Added Camilla thought the former actress was 'a self-seeking troublemaker'

I don’t believe a thing I read in the tabloids. It’s all made up nonsense. Basically they are comics.

Oh no, not another tell all book, I assume it's to rival Harry's? "Silently" is definitely a good choice of word!!

Camlilla's title will make no difference at all to my life. I'm sure "Grandma" is the sweetest sound to her ears anyway.

It has been reported that Harry will criticise Camilla in his book.

And Charles, and his grandparents' parenting, and maybe William, and Kate, and Princess Anne ...... and the dorgies.
No one will be spared!

He's hardly likely to be objective I imagine. Understandable to some extent. But I do wonder (only mildly) what he's trying to achieve. He seems to have some 'demon' he needs to exorcise

I'm neither for nor against Harry - and there probably are aspects of royal upbringing / culture that are not always edifying.

The members of the RF are all human beings in spite of their exalted positions, and will in common with the rest of humanity, fail sometimes and make mistakes and wrong choices. To expect anything else is naïve.

I think Andrew will escape. Eugene is very pally with Harry, perhaps in order to protect her father against Harrys venom?

I’m not surprised if Camilla saw straight through Meghan. Camilla has served the crown with great dignity since she married Charles, and she comes across as nobody’s fool. Not so Meghan I’m afraid, in my opinion she has served herself alone, and not with any dignity. And no I don’t know her, but I’ve seen her behaviour, in particular the Oprah interview and that type of behaviour is totally undignified. I cannot imagine going on television and being so rude about my in laws, neither can many of you I imagine.

I don't think Camilla would have gone to any great lengths to win over The Queen or any other member of the RF for that matter. She seems to be very much her own person. Maybe they like her on a personal level.

I just love the language.
Camilla saw 'straight through' the 'former actress',
'that minx'!
Wow.
Straight out of the 1930s.
I would imagine Camilla's language is rather more descriptive.

Camilla has gone even higher in my estimation.

...but you don't believe the media.

But it's not the media telling us this, is it Petera? Its Prince Harry himself with his statement on the Archewell site. He says everything about his life will be revealed, the highs and lows, all the mistakes, the lessons learned, you can't get closer to the horse's mouth than that.

But does he say directly he will criticise Camilla ???

Otherwise it is the media……

I did wonder that Lucca. He hasn't named anyone in his tirade to sell his book, but we know he himself has criticised his father lots, and that will take up several chapters! It maybe stands to reason that Camilla would be included, not necessarily in a nasty way towards her, but criticising her very existence at some point? However, if Mr. Pick and Choosy leaves Camilla without any criticism, then as usual is he actually telling the truth or working on a variety of recollections? Who knows?

Note: I am going to stop writing this daft business of "who knows," "we don't know", "I believe" etc because it is only being used to cover ourselves. I think the practice of berating posters on every opinion they give on here is past and general discussion or chat can resume.

Nothing to do with your direct questioning Lucca!

Harry will have to spill a considerable lot of beans to get paid as much as stated

How much is that per word then lemsip?

The last Queen Consort was a nasty piece of work so even the Camilla haters cant think she'll be that bad.

Auld Lizzie as my granny called her ,used the treasury as "her piggy bank" according to high profile tories of her time,she was so right wing that she admired Hitler and openly said she didn;t like Jews . She misled the UK and the world by letting them believe she stayed in London for the duration of the war and that they lived on the same "rations " as the rest of us.She was a functioning drunk . She was the person who started the whole abdication process ,NOT the government of the day .
All information is available online and in at least one book ,for the life of me I cant remember his name but it begins with W .
Anyone still think Camilla is the wrong woman for the job.....lo .
Of course I am anti Royalty so I couldn't care less.I would like to see them all gone.

Cue the royalists who'll say ,Ah but it was a different time

I agree with you Josieann and that is exactly why I covered my back by saying in my opinion and also that I don’t know her, but I’ve seen her behaviour. I wouldn’t think that a single poster on here personally knows Boris Johnson or Novak Djokovic or indeed a host of other well known people, even indeed the Queen, but I don’t see people’s opinions on them/their behaviour being berated because they don’t know them personally. However with Meghan, and to a lesser extent Harry, posters have regularly been told that since they don’t know them, they know nothing about them.

The Queen Mother did not start the abdication process, 1936
the Church did not accept divorce . In my opinion she was the choice of wife for Edward , he wouldn’t marry her so she married the second brother,

I have read several books about the Queen Mother. My overall impression is that she was not as sweet and friendly as was made out.

That’s my impression too.

You're right - we don't know any of the people you've mentioned.

We judge them by what we know they do and what they say - not necessarily by what others (including the media) tell us they do or say. If you see what I mean.

Some of those you mention though are on record - we can look at what they've said - Boris Johnson, Harry - and not have to rely on here-say. We still may not know them in the true sense of the word, but their comments and statements does give us some clues about them.
