Do Camilla and Charles live separately?

[EdieLedwell]

She was dropped off in Wiltshire. I was surprised they didn't stay together today.

I'm not hating btw just genuinely curious and I kind of admire her for creating her own space if
It's true.

ALSO, because it's driving me crazy, did Anne and Tim separate briefly back in the nougties?

I'm sure I remember it being announced on Sky, but it was never mentioned again and he seemed to continue accompanying her to Royal engagements.

They have continued to live together the whole time they have been divorced, moved back in together after only five years apart. God knows if they have separate bedrooms but to all intents and purposes they are married. In lockdown she listed cringing photos of them both packing boxes for food banks . They stay divorced because financially they are better off that way

I am getting married next year and we will keep our separate houses. We both like spending time together, and having our own space too.

i read that here on mn, about prince philip living with a lady friend
i have not repeated it in real life, but when people say queen when down hill when pp died, i think, did she? if they lived separate lives - anyway, it is what it is, or is not, depending what you believe.
doesnt make any difference to us who lives with who

It’s just yesterday we had someone commenting on the death of Lord Mountbatten and suggesting he was blown up by the IRA because he was a paedophile (and seemingly it must be true because the FBI had a file on him) They had absolutely no idea whatsoever about the others who were on the boat with him and died or were badly badly injured.

And of course Penny had to be his mistress because it’s easier to believe that than acquaint yourself with the shared family history going back generations as well as the relationship she had with the late Queen and PP as well as the family.

🙄

It tickles me that most on here admire Camilla, a notorious adulteress, but will absolutely crucify any poster who admits to cheating!

I find it frightening how little most people on these boards seem to know about British history generally, including the monarchy . So much information is second hand, garnered nonsense from tabloids. It’s truly depressing.

A few years ago there were some really interesting posters with a lot of knowledge. Really well informed posts presenting a balanced view. Now it’s all just unsubstantiated rants about affairs and spurious gossip.

Charles is not a family person - which is why he treated wife 1 so badly and has been such a negligent father - most recently in not helping Harry with the difficult integration of his wife into the family. I live near Highgrove and he likes to dog walk alone in the grounds and is often seen deep in thought. He is known to be petulant - a friend of mine worked in the household and was fairly discreet but mentioned him having awful temper and throwing things around the room.
Camilla is all about family.

I can imagine Camilla wanting her own place where her dc can come trooping in with their DC and not worry about protocol or whether Charles is in a mood. A really good decision on her part to keep this home.

Even if he had lived completely separate with another woman (which is bollocks) they lived together at Windsor through the pandemic.

Thats 24/7 companions for all that time suddenly not there. That’s massive

I think you should stop trying to police people's comments. This is a discussion board. Nobody knows anything for sure and these people are in the public eye so of course they get talked about, both positively and negatively.

Asking a question is not "spreading rumours" and it's silly to suggest everyone who discusses this is bored and needs to get a life.

I've no idea who's cheating on who, what is going on where. But it's a worthwhile conversation. If you categorically know something that's been said is untrue, then refute it. But you're not the forum police.

I’d be interested in a thread on the history of Westminster Hall.

Yes. I agree. And I think it’s to their credit that they keep such a low profile and don’t appear to throw their weight around saying ‘don’t you know who I am’.

Yes it's a discussion board and those of us who don't like idle and damaging rumour spreading about the marriages of real people with real children are entitled to express our disquiet.
You also are not the forum police.

i read that here on mn, about prince philip living with a lady friend

It must be true then 🙄

Hear Hear.

Absolutely.

It is supremely healthy to have your own space.

Friends of mine sleep separately and are very happily married.

I know of several mature long term relationships where my friends preferred to continue to maintain their own home.

They are so fond of their partner but decided that continuing to have their own home was what would ultimately be best for them and for their relationships.

While HMQ and PP spent lots of time apart they were together at all family events and holidays. And who knows how often they spoke on the phone. Or how often they visited each other.

I do believe she missed him, and the support he gave her. He was her life long companion.

This.

Frightening, and really, really depressing.

But for a lot of people the history and heritage don’t matter one bit; it’s just about a seat ringside at the circus. So they don’t know any of the underpinnings and don’t understand the significance of the detail, hence they cannot understand why things are done the way they are and why it matters.

They are on their second marriage and presumably have no interest in blending families. Camilla spends time with her children and grandchildren at her home. I think it's good not forcing the blended thing if people had the money I think a lot would do that instead of forcing the blended family thing to save money .

You can report posts if you think they're inappropriate, spreading rumours and telling lies.

Well they obviously have blended to an extent given that Camilla’s granddaughter was a flower girl at William and Kate’s wedding, and quite famously has a little toy in her hand in some of the photos that was given to her by Harry.

Exactly!

Who'd want that grouchy bugger around when their grandchildren are there?

Also worth noting that William and Catherine had Camilla’s granddaughter as a bridesmaid .

Penny Brabourne’s daughter Leonora died aged 5 , she was Diana’s god daughter and her sister was Charles’ god daughter . The family have raised millions for childhood cancer charities.

There are a good many more balanced discussions elsewhere. I agree that ones populated by idle gossip are tedious to read. Also, the numerous patball dialogues between two posters trying to score points off each other are a waste of column inches, of zero interest to anyone else. That isn't 'debate', it's playground stuff.

Being a republican, the royal boards are ones I don't otherwise tend to visit as from a cursory glance they pretty much all look like this. But these threads are currently on the trending list, and with the new monarch the discussions are topical. There is some informed conversation on other threads, but some of the more bad-tempered ones were zapped, as this will probably be.
