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!

I am no fan of Royalty, but Camilla has spoken out about DV before and I believe she said she knows women affected.

Having an affair because of a bad marriage and a difficult partner is not abuse FFS. I believe Diana had more affairs than Charles when they were married anyway.

"she knows women affected" = "I have a black friend"

Maybe actually have someone host it who was personally affected. Lord knows there are enough of them.

No one likes the other woman.

And camilla is the most infamous other woman in the UK.

Honestly, you sound elderly and obsessed with a silly grudge. The only reason Camilla is infamous is because of the Press, not her behaviour- it was no worse than millions of other women. She's certainly paid for it.

Good grief there's some bloody lunatics on here!!!! 😂

I'm not elderly.

I don't know if you've noticed, but a lot of other posters on here have said the same thing I have about Camilla.

I read that Di stepped out in the marriage first. I understand she married very young. She also had an affair with a married man (calling his house something like 150 times in one night iirc) and I believe Dodi also had a fiance when she was with him.

I don't think either of them are bad. It was a shit situation that none of them should ever have been put in. I'm just amazed that people still care so much about it.

They don’t care at all really, all the vociferous posters on here who are so angry probably have husbands who have left them or had affairs, they are just projecting their anger onto Camilla, they are not arbiters of moral values on marriage, they have just been personally affected by it and Camilla is the easy target to take it out on.

Great, lets hope all the negative nancies get it deleted and then it takes away the promotion of the programme on here. Well done OW lovers.

Gosh your husband really made you bitter.

No. No man that I've been in relationship has ever had an affair with another woman. (To my knowledge).

I still think that Camilla was disgusting

They met before Diana was even a thought on the radar. For someone so anti Camilla I would expect you to be up on your Royal trivia. You're a bit rubbish at this game.

Menowhatdoyoucallit · 11/11/2024 22:41

In fact when Charles and Camilla first met, Diana was only 9 years old!

Regarding william

I just think it's a but much that a man who comes from a family with multiple palaces, -

A familt who have more homes than they could ever need, while people are living on the street:

talks about homelessness.

Edited

So better he does fuck all then? I expect you have a spare bedroom or two, invite the homeless to live with you, if you are not prepared to do that then you are a hypocrite.

No one is ranting on about it like you . If you don't like her don't watch or read anything about her. Sit at home and do your Diana scarapbooks.

Did you watch the programme ?
There were lots of women talking about their experiences including Rosie Duffield .
But would a programme hosted by Rosie ( much as I admire her) have drawn the interest that Camilla has ? I doubt it . Surely this is Royalty shining the spotlight on an issue that is uncomfortable for many people to watch but vitally important.

Ukisgaslit · 11/11/2024 22:45

@Sylviacrystal
Never mind the palaces , William is a slumlord who uses charity as PR
Unfortunately for him channel 4 and the Times uncovered his rip off activities

Eh what?

Did i write anywhere that they didn't meet long before he met Diana.

No I didn't. So why did you write that.

Everyone knows that Charles and camilla met each other long before he met Diana.

Sure they are ten years older than Diana.

EdithWeston · 11/11/2024 22:45

Sylviacrystal · 11/11/2024 21:54

Isn't that what they'd want you to think?

Diana wrote a note saying that she believed someone was going to plan a crash in her car

She also wrote that Camilla was just a decoy because Charles was really pursuing someone else.

These were the Bashir years. What Diana was led to believe was being strongly manipulated.

Freethebees · 11/11/2024 22:46

Queen my ass she's the King's missus.

You must think that Diana was equally as disgusting then for her part in all of the marriages and relationships that she broke up? Not sure what this has to do with the original post though other than pointless tit for tat. Anyone with any common sense wouldn’t conflate an affair with coercive control in any case. Surely the important thing to be focusing on is that someone who attracts a lot of media and public attention is highlighting domestic violence. The rest is history but DV sadly isn’t history and occurs thousands of times a day. Focus on the things that are relevant not those that aren’t.

MoonWoman69 · 11/11/2024 21:27

For a start, no Camilla is not Queen... She is and should be titled Queen Consort. Because that is what she is.
I have not been a royalist for many years, I have no time for them. But I do quite like Camilla.
And if domestic violence is a cause she chooses to support and a programme is made about it, which is including her support, then who gives a shit who she is and what she's done? Does it really matter if it's her or some celebrity female?
I'm sick of all this holier than thou postulation. Camilla and Charles should have been allowed to marry in the beginning. As for Diana, she was chosen for him purely because of her lineage. He didn't love her, he never did. It was to provide heirs to the throne and that is all. She was young and inexperienced when she became engaged then married. And as time went on, she didn't get the attention she'd have expected from her husband.
In affairs, it takes two to tango, she didn't force anyone to sleep with her! It truly pisses me off when people never blame the other party imvolved.
Anyway I digressed there, good on Camilla for the campaign, let her get on with it!

Queen Consort is a job title, the Queen Mother was a Queen Consort, Queen Mary was a Queen Consort, every Queen who is married to a King is a consort, they are not known as Queen Consort they are known as Queen or Queen and their first name.

Hoplolly · 11/11/2024 22:46

Ah St Diana. I don't think she even loved Charles. She was a social climber. Why else would you willingly marry a man you knew didn't love you?

I live in a studio flat..

The royal families are more hypocrites aren't they, when they have multiple palaces?

If they gave one palace for public use for the homeless, you would get a lot of homeless people off the streets.

Ukisgaslit · 11/11/2024 22:50

There has been a years long campaign to smear Diana - culminating in William disgracefully calling his mother paranoid.
The campaign has worked on some clearly
Camilla was one of several mistresses Charles had .
