I thought she looked great today, particularly in the line up of much younger ladies. Shallow, I know , but that's what I think.

Also it must be odd seeing your husband in a velvet cloak and some sort of 16th century head wear.

I think they are going to Sidmouth today, but I'm committed to taking one of my grandchildren to Paignton this afternoon.
Maybe on their next visit......

Not difficult Henetha!!

henetha Wed 17-Jul-19 11:08:25

They are in the west country at the moment . I would love to meet them... I think Camilla is perfect for Charles and he's a better man for having her in his life.

I agree Sodapop

After all, that young bride made plenty of her own mistakes, as we all do

Let it go

sodapop Wed 17-Jul-19 09:05:01

Time to let go of that now gransal we have all made mistakes but for most of us they were not made so public. I was in a similar situation with my first husband many years ago but we have moved on now and get along ok ( for short periods )

I've always liked her, and I like her style. And regarding Prince Charles in his Garter outfit, I'm sure she's used to seeing him in this kind of garb.

She is "the other woman" in a young brides marriage..

Camilla does seem to have a good sense of humour and sense of the ridiculous. She probably also shares the zany, anarchic humour Prince Charles has which, among other things, explains the rapport they so obviously have.

I too like Camilla and Sophie, my obsession with dignity ?

Sara65 Tue 16-Jul-19 21:50:17

Sodapop

I agree with both your points, Camilla is lovely, I didn’t think much of Sophie to begin with, but she’s quietly got on with things, a definite asset to the Royal Family

JessK Tue 16-Jul-19 21:48:05

I think she is terrific. I read that she had a cake made for the test match special commentary team who were covering the world Cup on Sunday.

sodapop Tue 16-Jul-19 21:45:14

I think Camilla is fun and down to earth. Earlier problems should be laid to rest now, they are good together.
Sophie Wessex has also shown herself to be a very classy lady.

Anniebach Tue 16-Jul-19 21:32:13

Edward has taken on the Duke of Edinburgh Awards , patron of Paralympics GB and he and Sophie have their own charity

Sara65 Tue 16-Jul-19 20:47:29

No we don’t see a lot of Edward, but I think Sophie does a lot of fairly low profile things, she turned up at one of my grandchildren’s nurseries one day, with very little publicity

Jane10 Tue 16-Jul-19 20:45:27

She came to a place where my DS worked. He said she was lovely. Pleasant and friendly.

Anniebach Tue 16-Jul-19 20:05:33

The press are not interested in following the Male Windsors, with the exception of William and Harry

Grannycool52 Tue 16-Jul-19 20:02:21

Yep, I like Camilla too. I think she has a mischievous sense of fun and she dresses well.
Incidentally, we rarely see Edward; Sophie yes but Edward no.

Sara65 Tue 18-Jun-19 11:27:20

Her biography by Penny Junor, is really eye opening, I would highly recommend it

Calendargirl Tue 18-Jun-19 10:19:35

Whatever you think about the Royal Family, Charles, Camilla, Diana etc. I think no one can doubt how good she has been for Charles. He seems a different person since she has been a legitimate part of his life, and they just seem to adore each other.

luluaugust Tue 18-Jun-19 10:15:30

Any chance she could bring out a clothing line for the over 70's!!!

b1zzle Tue 18-Jun-19 10:13:45

Love Camilla. She's like a breath of fresh air in what can sometimes be perceived to be a very stuffy royal family .

Anniebach Tue 18-Jun-19 10:11:24

She certainly had years of hatred to cope with, she never went to the media

EllanVannin Tue 18-Jun-19 10:08:42

I've always liked Camilla, even when there were cruel outcries about her forthcoming marriage to Charles. I visited a charity shop in those early days of their marriage and bought a lovely Wedgewood plate of their wedding-----it cost £1.50 ! A sad reflection on what most of the general public felt at the time.

I imagine that she's the easiest member of the family to get along with.

Anniebach Tue 18-Jun-19 10:03:25

Sorry Merlot you said ‘the younger members ‘ I thought you meant family members.

merlotgran Tue 18-Jun-19 09:59:47

I didn't say they were.
