Camilla couldn’t give a fig about being Queen

Queen or Queen consort, please let’s not discuss that.

She has great involvement in issues that she’s bothered about like Osteoporosis, children reading, domestic violence.

Her services, at Local and national level, alone or with The King are regular and demanding for a lady of her age.

Her husband loves her. She loves him. She has made him more human

Queen (or whatever, is the last priority for her)

I’ve always rather likes her. She just gets on with it.

Lolliepoppie · 02/10/2022 22:29

I think you’re probably right. I think she’s a great asset to the monarchy.

MsTSwift · 02/10/2022 22:31

I met her at an event that was the vibe I got. She’s a rather posh older lady focussed on her grandchildren and causes no mention of anything royal.

DickDarstedly · 02/10/2022 22:35

‘Rather’ posh? Who would be posher than the queen consort, wife of the king?

PAFMO · 02/10/2022 22:38

I agree.
And I think it's a good thing.
She's rather reminiscent of the Princess Royal who doesn't give a fig about her royalty status either.

PuttingDownRoots · 02/10/2022 22:38

I have wondered... does she have to have security at her own house (the one she spends time with her own family in).

CreateOne · 02/10/2022 22:39

I think she'd rather be mucking out or sitting next to the aga talking about horses.

Snugglemonkey · 02/10/2022 22:39

I think it makes her so much more suited to the job than someone like Diana or Meghan.

HeddaGarbled · 02/10/2022 22:39

Yes, I agree. I also think she doesn’t particularly want to spend massive amounts of time with Charles, or at least needs a break from him fairly regularly.

In posh speak, ‘rather’ means ‘very’.

Aspiringmatriarch · 02/10/2022 22:40

She's dispensing with having Ladies in Waiting apparently. I agree, she seems down to earth and has chosen some great causes to champion.

Surtsey · 02/10/2022 22:42

I detect the hint of a breath of fresh air blowing through the palace corridors...

declutteringmymind · 02/10/2022 22:44

She's rocking it.

I loved her slightly wtf moment when she signed the proclamation Camilla R

Who would be really arsed at her age?

Topseyt123 · 02/10/2022 22:45

I have always liked Camilla. I think she generally knows how to keep Charles well grounded, but also knows when to take a break from things too.

Good for her.

SoyMarina · 02/10/2022 22:51

She is ne hell of a cool woman!

Toddlerteaplease · 02/10/2022 22:52

She's exactly what he needs. The rock he's going not have to lean on.

Toddlerteaplease · 02/10/2022 22:52

To have to*

MightyAtlantic · 02/10/2022 22:55

I like Camilla, but I do feel sorry for her. Imagine, at her age, having to be bothered with Being the Queen when you just want an easy life pottering about and visiting your grandchildren.

Muddledandbefuddled · 02/10/2022 22:55

I'd happily ditch Charles and have Camilla as Queen on her own tbh. I year or two ago I heard her on the radio basically doing her own show for an hour and talking very passionately about domestic violence. She's bright, articulate, down to earth and very likeable. Plus she's sufficiently rich to not care about the money or status too much.

I've wondered this too.

SenecaFallsRedux · 02/10/2022 22:58

I agree that she had probably rather not be Queen. But I think she's going to be very good at it.

SilverLiningPlaybook · 02/10/2022 23:01

I think she’s great. I love her unfussy approach and her commitment to her charities. Charles obviously adores her and they are very well suited. Fifteen years ago I had a very different view. She’s redeemed herself.

Catonthedesk · 02/10/2022 23:02

I absolutely love her ❤️

Dinoteeth · 02/10/2022 23:07

I think together they are going to be a fab King and Queen.

I'm glad Queen E, was able to give her blessing that Camilla was given the title Queen.

ohfook · 02/10/2022 22:56

I've wondered this too.

Yes she will have security at her personal home. She could easily be targeted by idiots. Gaining access to the monarch's wife would be quite something
