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!

Honestly @Sylviacrystal you sound completely unhinged 😥

I have a good friend who suffered hugely from DV - in fact her exH was imprisoned for what he did to her. She has since become a bit of a champion in her own right for women who have suffered, and has met Camilla in this capacity. She was very impressed with her.

And quite frankly, I'm more prepared to trust her judgement than yours.

unhinged is the buzz bully word in mumsnet. It's so utterly predictable

There were people on both sides yesterday

Where did the big gang of camilla lovers come from all of a sudden.

Screamingabdabz · 12/11/2024 19:25

Poor ol’ Camilla…just trying to shed a bit of light on an important and often overlooked societal problem and using her profile for good. What is she supposed to do? Sit in a cave with sackcloth and ashes flagellating herself forever? Jeez move the fuck on!

And deal with whatever issues you’ve got. Remember it’s the man that commits the betrayal not the OW… However much you want to let him off the hook by burning her.

You’ve been solidly at this for 24 hours now. For the love of God, just give it up. This kind of obsession is properly unhealthy.

24 hours ? Thats nothing. Threads run on mumsnet for up to a week. Some go for longer.

You're hilarious. You're calling me obsessed with camilla, yet here you are posting about camilla yourself.

Get help!
I should get help about Camilla. Lol that's hilarious.

I see you again ignored the fact - that loads of other people have written on this thread, that camilla is horrible

Why are you ignoring what all of those other posters are saying?

Edited

No one has posted as vociferously or as viscously as you on this thread whilst also claiming to be of high moral standing that’s why, your obsessive behaviour on here is disturbing.

WestwardHo1 · 12/11/2024 19:23

Given that you seem to be bringing the affairs and the Church into it, why not leave the judgement to God? Judge not lest ye be judged, let he who is without the first sin cast the first stone etc.

Livingtothefull · 12/11/2024 19:22

I just want to state that I think some of the comments about Diana on here are utterly ghastly. Whatever mistakes she may have made.....she has been dead for nearly 30 years. Can't her memory be left in peace?

Ah I see that you're a Camilla lover. That's why you wrote that.

No you grow up!

Another thing Camilla supports is the osteoporosis society because she knows what it's like as her own mother died from it. Anyone that has met her have said she's a really nice woman(and I know someone who has).

All those going on about what she did 30 years ago need to move on and go and find something to make their lives more fulfilling. Maybe go and volunteer in a woman's refuge or a domestic abuse charity. Maybe go and sit and listen to a domestic abuse survivor. But I doubt you will because in your glass houses your lives are perfect.

Edited

Yes - IIRC it's the only charity she had links with before her second marriage. Because she didn't want to be pilloried for acting in line with a status she had not then got; but this was was personal enough to go for anyway and hang any potential consequences

And a large part of her rehabilitation was slowly winning over people simply because she is, in person, nice.

GetrudeCoppard · 12/11/2024 19:20

What a bonkers post, OP. I like Camilla and think it’s great she’s fronting this documentary.

Before we re-write history, let’s remember Diana didn’t exactly behave well in her time. Numerous affairs, crazy stalker behaviour, manipulation of the media to her advantage. And that’s just the stuff that’s well documented.

I find these posts really strange. You don't know her, right? I mean, I expect you don't know any of the RF personally. Forgive me if I'm wrong, I know this is MN and you could be lifelong mates. However, most people don't know them. Therefore we can only judge them by the actions we can see. I'm really depressed by the actions of the RF. Sure, they say the right things but really, when it comes to it their personal conduct (avarice, adultery ....) leaves much to be desired. I mean, he's the Head of the Church of England FFS....

Yes that's what I'm doing. You and I are essentially saying the same thing.

What I'm seeing is a woman who's not perfect, as many of us are not, but at the moment with this work she is doing now, is doing a good thing. That's all I am saying. I am judging how she comes across now, not by "but...but...poor Diana".

People are complicated. They do good things and bad things. Most adults understand this - well, they used to at least. Some people on this thread honestly sound like 8 year olds.

FWIW, while QEII seemed genuinely devout, I don't actually think Charles much wants to be Head of the CofE.

Edited

You said that people do good and bad thjngs.

Not all adults have affairs with married men.

I haven't.
And most people I know haven't.

No you don’t, if you have morals you wouldn’t speak about another human being the way you have on here, your reaction is completely abnormal, get help.

Youre weird!

Have you missed that about forty other people on here - are also saying the same things that I've said about Camilla?

Would you like me to show you all of their many posts saying that Camilla is horrible and hypocritical?

So no , I'm actually writing what a lot of other people are writing on here. You're the one being weird.

Oh and before anyone comes at me with Henry v111, yes I know....but there's meant to be an aspect of living a virtuous life. They certainly want us to think that.

I don't think anyone can come at you with Henry VII as an example of what should be, sewing as he killed some of his wives.

No. You're just making things up.

I have never once been cheated on. I have also never once had an affair with a married man.

Sylviacrystal · 12/11/2024 19:11

Camilla is grim and rough . Charles is not a good example of a man in any shape or form.

Diana was also wrong to have the affair with Will carling.

It's a pity we don't have a better Royal family.

@WestwardHo1 · Today 17:37

This thread really indicates to me how simple and binary so many people have become.

Person does bad thing = person is irredeemably bad forever and it cancels out all good things they ever do from then on.

I vehemently disagree with someone about x = I therefore need to publicly say so and never agree on anything they subsequently say in the future.

It's actually quite frightening.

It is worrying isn’t it, also Camilla is the punch bag on here for women who have been cheated on, they feel powerless and are projecting it all onto Camilla (yet Diana and her many affairs with married men plus the stalking, anonymous phone calls etc.) gets a free pass, some of the posts on here are unhinged, it’s really not normal.

No. You're just making things up.

I have never once been cheated on. I have also never once had an affair with a married man.
