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

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!

Of course she's the Queen she married the King!

Queen consort to be correct

It is a bit annoying her doing a documentary on abuse.

It was also a bit irritating when William did a documentary in homelessness. Right , it's a nice cause

. But its a but hard to stomach when the royal family are sitting in extreme wealth ( and not working) while there are a lot of homeless people

She's not really the queen. And go away with your Emily Maitlis questioning as it makes no sense.

I find it hypocritical regardless of length of time and who she is.

Camilla knew exactly what she was doing to Diana by carrying on with Charles. As Diana said there were 3 in her marriage and this ultimately led to the issues, not the other way round. King Charles is nothing less than a cake eating entitled man who denied his young wife agency whilst he carried on with his sidepiece assisted by the establishment.

The hypocry of some on Mumsnet is unbelievable.

Of course the lies, gaslighting, lack of respect involved is abuse.

Cobblers. The Queen has done excellent work on this subject for years. The documentary will shine more light on this subject.

Plenty of men are abused by women so hopefully this will be highlighted too.
(Her ex husband was a serial adulterer btw)

You’re saying Women’s Aid describe the ‘emotional abuse’ as that caused by an affair as having the same impact as coercive control, violence in all its forms, gaslighting etc.?

So DH tells a lie he’s done the washing. That’s “lying”. Am I being emotionally abused and in need of an intervention.

I think we can all pragmatically see there is a spectrum.

Show quote history

Of course theres a scale.

No one said that womans aid have said that having an affair is the same as a man beating a woman up.

Of course there's a scale.

However Womans aid constantly talk about emotional abuse, about gaslighting and coercive control,

And how damaging it is.

doodleygirl · 11/11/2024 21:06

Educate yourself OP, she has been involved with domestic abuse charities for many years, she is not fronting this programme just because she is the Queen.

KatyaKabanova · 11/11/2024 20:31

She's supported charities and initiatives about domestic violence. She's using her position to publicise the issue and shine a light on it.
It's not about her.

Shine a light on the issue? It’s hardly unknown.

Look up the definition of abuse. Yes she has.

Remember Diana said one time that she was roaring crying over what camilla was doing

Show quote history

It clearly didn’t upset her that much did it, what with her being to be the OW.

Emotional abuse is abuse though.

Lying, coercive control, it's all abuse.

Womens aid describes it as abuse.

Well if the royal family weren’t so bloody ridiculous he should have been allowed to marry her years ago - they met before Diana. But she didn’t meet the prerequisites because she wasn’t a virgin and she was a commoner. They created abject misery because of ‘tradition’, totally revolting. And as I’ve said, I am staunchly against the whole concept of a royal family, but the two fell in love and were not allowed to be together. So the patriarchy also damaged Camilla.

I’m sure Julia Carling took enormous comfort from that. 🙄

I agreed with you though. I said yes, Diana did it aswell.

She's a strong advocate for all women who have been subjected to domestic violence. It's not a glamorous cause by any means so I am full of admiration for her for being so passionate about it.

Yes, I would agree with this.
It's not about her as a person, it's the cause she's supporting.

Menowhatdoyoucallit · 11/11/2024 21:01

Diana and Charles both cheated on each other. Cheating is painful but it's not abuse.

Then so did Diana. She was the cause of Will Carling’s divorce.
