Page 13 | Queen Camilla taking part in a documentary to highlight abuse of women

OWRLOSERS · 2024-11-11T20:23:36+00:00

Apoplectic that ITV have chosen Queen Camilla to host a documentary highlighting the domestic abuse of women when she was King Charle's OW for many years and complicit in his abuse of Princess Diana. World gone mad!

I can't believe we've got this far into a thread about C&C and nobody has mentioned tampons yet!

The opening post quashed any talk of periods.

For a start, no Camilla is not Queen... She is and should be titled Queen Consort. Because that is what she is.
I have not been a royalist for many years, I have no time for them. But I do quite like Camilla.
And if domestic violence is a cause she chooses to support and a programme is made about it, which is including her support, then who gives a shit who she is and what she's done? Does it really matter if it's her or some celebrity female?
I'm sick of all this holier than thou postulation. Camilla and Charles should have been allowed to marry in the beginning. As for Diana, she was chosen for him purely because of her lineage. He didn't love her, he never did. It was to provide heirs to the throne and that is all. She was young and inexperienced when she became engaged then married. And as time went on, she didn't get the attention she'd have expected from her husband.
In affairs, it takes two to tango, she didn't force anyone to sleep with her! It truly pisses me off when people never blame the other party imvolved.
Anyway I digressed there, good on Camilla for the campaign, let her get on with it!

The title is Queen. The type of Queen is consort. Never in English history have we titled the wife of the Monarch Queen Consort.

Good grief @Sylviacrystal , Diana died because she wasn’t wearing a seat belt and was being driven too fast by a drunk driver .
A sad accident .

Isn't that what they'd want you to think?

Diana wrote a note saying that she believed someone was going to plan a crash in her car

No it was before that.

Diana said in her book that Charles was still seeing camilla, while Diana was engaged to charles. Before Diana and charles got married

Diana said she wanted to call off the wedding, but everyone told her it was too late.

Show quote history

OK but was he faithful to her after they got married? I appreciate the bar is low, and she would have been very stressed about them especially given her home situation, but this isn't even close to abuse.

As much as I think that C&C behaved badly, they obviously have an enduring loving and respectful partnership that improves their lives.

WhatMe123 · 11/11/2024 21:53

Doesn't she support domestic violent services? Sounds like a good idea to me

So how come Diana wrote a note saying

"They are planning a crash in my car"

No, because she THOUGHT he was having an affair. Diana's own grandmother said that she was given to wild flights of fancy and that in hindsight, she herself shouldn't have encouraged her granddaughter's marriage to Charles.

Show quote history

Incorrect again. Diana found romantic gifts between charles and camilla at that stage.

She also found a photograph of camilla that Charles kept in his diary.

How exactly was Diana having flights of fancy, when charles was having an affair with camilla?

The grandmother you are talking about was a cruel old woman. She testified against her own daughter, (Diana's mother) in the custody case, because Diana's father had more money and power

Camilla started quietly campaigning for the victims of domestic violence after one of her friends was a victim herself.

The two most vociferous anti Camilla posters appear to have joined MN today. Funny that.

I’ve reported this thread.

On a site where many women are victims of actual domestic abuse, to use a thread to slag off someone for her actions over 30 years ago, and to take away from the topic of domestic violence is disgusting.

As for the poster who compared Camilla to a paedophile, they should be banned.

Oh, stop. She wasn't saying Camilla is akin to a paedophile, she was drawing a parallel between the two people by trying to highlight what they see as an absurdity.

And you know it, so why up the drama and make out like she's saying the queen as good as abuses children.

Maybe, but not the most efficient way to kill someone, considering she likely would have lived if she'd been wearing her seatbelt.

She is my second most disliked royal.

Won't be watching. Everything she does is for PR.

Right if your husband marries you, then leaves you and marries someone else for love, would we all say "great!"

They've left a trail of bad taste

Yes. Because he's not my husband anymore and I'm not his wife.

Does it matter? The man married for duty, it didn't work, so he married for love and it's outlasted many other marriages. Diana died nearly 30 years ago, give it a rest!

I don't think it's about Camilla at all. It is all about the dwindling respect or even indifference towards the RF these days, apart from a cohort who would idolise them no matter what.

I have to say, even though their sentiments and support for certain causes may be admirable, I tend to roll my eyes and await the Firm announcing how hard they all work for our billions through their charity work every day.

I haven't (so far) been inclined to support a charity just because a Royal is a patron. For other reasons maybe, but for that reason no.

The only accounts we have on timing are Charles saying that he struck up with Camilla only after the marriage had irrevocably broken down, which is usually taken to mean after Diana embarked on her first affair (with a bodyguard, beginning in 1985, admitted by Diana).

Charles of course had two main "sidepieces" in the run up to his marriage. There was no inevitability at that point that he would rekindle with one of them a few years later.

The "three of us in that marriage" was (partly) true from 1985 onwards - Charles had an enduring affair with Camilla. But it's not a full picture, as there were 6 others (her lovers) in there too.

Camilla's first marriage of course ended because of her then husband's repeated infidelities (he wasn't one of the inspirations for Rupert Campbell-Black for no reason)
