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!

Women of a certain age and certain status have often been told to shut up and put up. She is saying that this can happen to anyone.

I am fairly sure I have heard Camilla talk about this subject before.

Diana was big on landmines, I seem to recall, but other than having relatives who served, I don't think she had particular first hand knowledge.

Camilla is damned if she does try to put her position to good use, and damned if she doesn't.

I love Camilla and this is a very worthy cause. She seems to have a natural ability to connect with people.

Came here to say the same, I am staunchly not a Royalist, but this has been something she has chosen to educate herself on and the more the spotlight shines on the topic, the better.

Show quote history

Completely agree. The more people who talk about this the better. She can attract much needed funding to the cause.

So you're accusing King Charles of Domestic Violence? Is infidelity really considered DV?

She's not a sister but to give her credit (and I'm a firm Republican) she has spoken out on domestic violence for years.

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.

Also apoplectic!!! 😂🙄😂

Raquelos · 11/11/2024 20:28

I don't buy that. She will bring much-needed attention to a subject that desperately needs more lights shone on it. The public narrative peddled by a woman deeply damaged long before her dysfunctional marriage and who's been dead for decades just doesn't trump that.

She hasn’t abuaed anyone. Camilla has long been concerned about domestic violence. I have wondered if she or someone she knows was a survivor of donestic abuse. Statistically she will know lots of people.

When I saw it I automatically assumed that she had personal experience. I don’t know yes or no but I think it’s something you assume with documentaries of these nature.

GiraffesAtThePark · 11/11/2024 20:25

How was she complicit? I get being the OW is not sisterly but I don’t see how she’s responsible for anything Charles did.
