Camilla's internal monologue

22 replies

LookItsMeAgain · 17/07/2024 12:08

Just watching the King & Queen consort leave the Palace of Westminster and I got to thinking what her internal monologue might be and came up with this:

Well Charles, I got all dressed up for the occasion, even popped on one of your Mama's crowns, don't I look gorgeous...but there is no one to help me with the train on this dress...ah here now, there's a million steps that I have to negotiate while wearing this heavy crown, did I say I looked well in it? Anyway, how am I going to get down these stairs, there's no handrail for me to hold and I don't want to go tits over arse you know...

(Charles offers her his arm to assist her getting down the stairs)

Great...we're at the bottom of the stairs...oh Christ!! Do we have to get back in this infernal gold box again and parade through the streets of London?? We do??? Why can't we modernise and take the Rolls Royce out every so often, I mean we're no spring chickens and this is so uncomfortable...Hey ho...back to the Palace we go!

Anyone got any other internal monologues that they'd like to share???

Apparently she sprained her ankle a few days ago so I imagine she was going to"ow, ow, ow, keep smiling, ow"

I was also having similar thoughts about what she was thinking during the speech! I mean it’s long and she has to sit there and not let an opinion show on her face for ages, quite a skill. I wonder if she was mentally doing the Waitrose order?

Interested in this thread?

I like to think that when they were in Jersey the other day and the heavens suddenly opened in a biblical fashion that she thought 'Fucking hell! Shit! I'm getting fucking soaked!' while she was wrestling with her coat and umbrella, exactly like the rest of us did Grin

Sarvanga24 · 17/07/2024 12:24

I was feeling for her when she had to get out of the coach down those little fold-out stairs without falling on her face ...

That's great, proper made me chuckle xx

I bet she sets herself little quizzes, like trying to remember the 8 US states that begin with M, or thinking of a Jilly Cooper character for each letter of the alphabet.

Hope he doesn't have to use any bloody pens.

Made me laugh in Jersey when the two cows started humping in front of her
She found it funny.

DramaAlpaca · 17/07/2024 12:38

She's probably gasping for a ciggy and a stiff G&T, poor woman.

Not particularly.

It was just what was running through my mind when I was watching the pageantry going on. I mean when Charles was wearing the crown with the drop down pearls hanging in the centre, perhaps that was more suitable for his mother to wear but on him, they take on a different meaning (oohh errr).

Considering his mother had previously mentioned that she found the State Carriage so uncomfortable to be in for any length of time, I was wondering if Camilla thought the same? I know they'd both probably be more comfortable in a car but as Charles has been waiting in the wings for such a long time, he probably thoroughly enjoys all of the pageantry and then Camilla has to go along with it all - I mean she can't arrive separately to an event now can she😊

Those carriages are meant to be uncomfortable apparently. Agree that a decent car would be better at their age, but I guess the King is making the most of his fairly new job and getting all the perks in now.

I’d have loved to hear Prince Phillips internal monologue . “You’re going to do what - how the bloody hell do you propose to do that ? There’s no bloody money! Suppose you’ll be coming after the wife’s ! We need detail man, detail. “

HowardTJMoon · 17/07/2024 12:54

I can't imagine her train of thought is anything other than "Fuck me, it took bloody long enough. I've been waiting sodding YEARS for this. Still, I got here in the end."

And it's her birthday too!

(I only know because it's the same as mine. I don't mind her sharing my birthday as long as she understands mine is more important.) 😁

Yes and the footman guy was there with his arm out but she steadfastly refused to accept his help. Which I enjoyed and reminded of me getting off a boat on holiday and having a similar reaction to the young man who thought he was being helpful by the gangplank 😂

AspiringChatBot · 17/07/2024 13:26

She's probably thinking, "Don't blame me; I voted Tory!"
