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

I am going to say this loudly and proudly. I like Camilla. It takes a real strength of character to face up to all the very public criticism she's had thrown at her for 20+ years (as well as navigating her role with her husband and his 2 children). She serves this country well and with dignity.

🙄

This thread just gets better and better

She would be a Queen if she had been through the coronation process

She did. She was crowned in Westminster Abbey at the same ceremony as the King.

This article explains for the posters who don’t understand.

Queen Consort
This is the most common kind of Queen in history. The wife of a King. In the British system, she is ‘Her Majesty the Queen’ and signs ‘R’ for ‘Regina’ after her name – exactly as a Queen Regnant would.

Thank you @OWRLOSERS I knew I'd heard that somewhere, re Queen consort! She would be a Queen if she had been through the coronation process, but as she is only married to the king, she hasn't, so she isn't a true Queen. Prince Philip was never a King, it's exactly the same.

HRH Queen Elizabeth 2nd said before she died Camilla was to be called Queen Consort NOT Queen Camilla but Charles ignored her after death.

How many times does this have to be explained, I will say it again so you can understand

Every single Queen throughout history who is married to a King is Queen Consort. Queen Consort is a job title, recent examples
Queen Mary, Queen Consort
Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, Queen Consort.
It’s the same for males who marry a Queen Regnant
The Duke of Edinburgh was Prince Consort.
None of them are called Consort it’s Queen/Prince name.

In less than a week? The domestic abuse film was a year in the making, before all the editing time.

Is there a timeline for when we expect to see the findings and results of all these experts convening? If they are just siting there because William is there, then its useless. Kate has spent 10 years on her early childhood project and every 5 years we see a rudimentary pie chart produced. What results have been achieved, and how are they going to do it? If something comes out of these projects, great. But if they are just vehicles for people to sit around with Prince William, then what's the point of wasting the time of these experts?

They had a nasty shock last week when their scandalous rip off of the public was exposed by channel 4 and the Times. I suppose they're trying to plaster over the gaping holes in their images.

Well we don’t know how long she was concerned about it behind the scenes do we ?
The fact that the programme was made and is being discussed is surely a good thing ?
Even if she has “ only “ been involved for 10/12 years so what ? She is highlighting DA .
Surely better than flitting from cause to cause spouting word salad !!

I wish more people would stand up to the royal family in England.

I saw videos of people shouting at the king of spain (after the floods in valencia).

And the king took it and answered back. They talked to the king like he was a human with flaws

They don't fawn over the royal family like many people do in the UK. Camilla is just an old biddy that was a side piece. I wouldn't respect her

Two things can be true at once

Women are living in terror in their own homes. They are hurt, maimed and killed, and left with life long physical and emotional scars. If any woman wants to stand up beside us and add their voice and influence to try to change that, no one has any business gatekeeping to reject her on the basis of her misdeeds and character flaws. All that matters in context is that she is on the same side as the rest of us where that issue is concerned.
Sleeping with a married man is not femicide. Knowing he is lying to his wife is not fracturing a woman's skull. There are degrees of harm. And your false equivalence between QCs role as the OW and the male behaviour we should be prioritising to address (in a united way) to make women safer is very jarring to say the least.

It’s not complicated @EdithWeston
Im saying that Camilla had an image problem , her image being someone who hurt Diana and was the other woman in a marriage .
A PR professional looks to where you are weak - when picking a charity that was borne in mind .
She started working with the charity in her 60s

We can draw our own conclusions .

I don’t believe the royals do anything out of the goodness of their hearts - they wouldn’t be billionaires off the backs of the people if they did .

This argument doesn't wash at all. We talk about camillas affair, and you bring up Diana's affair

If you think that Diana's affair is bad, then it also means that you think that Camillas affair is bad!!

If this conversation took place when she had two boys, then this may well be after Diana began her first affair, which we now know began before Harry's second birthday.

Really?

I thought the period when deliberate rehabilitation was believed to have taken place was before they married.

Are you insinuating that there is no substance to her actions in this area? Or that they've not really happened? Or what?

😓

Lots of sources have said that Charles and Camilla hired a PR team to improve Camillas extremely bad image.

This documentary is surely part of that. It's all carefully planned

@EdithWeston
For Gods sake - experts do not need William to convene them !
He’s leeching off others’ work for spin

Stop being a slumlord , pay your taxes and stop ripping off public services William ! Now that would make a difference
I’ll not hold my breath

@EdithWeston
Thank you - you have proved my point
Camilla had not been working with domestic violence all her life .
It was part of the rehabilitation of her image .
I think the PR guru who masterminded it won an award !

I realise I sound totally santimonious in that post . I was being honest about my world view, not implying that I’m superior .

Good job then that William is using his position to convene the experts ion the complex issues, rather than attempting to position himself as the expert.
