Here are some photos of Queen Camilla out and about on Wednesday, March 20th. She traveled to the Isle of Man and she seemingly did about a half-dozen events in a steady clip, including giving a speech at the Douglas Borough Council and doing a short walkabout. While Camilla has been out and about consistently since her week-long holiday to Spain, this was a special kind of day trip and one which she did on behalf of her husband. She actually seemed fine. Happy, even.
Camilla wore a giant, 40-carat sapphire brooch worth $10 million. It once belonged to Queen Victoria and it’s now part of the Royal Collection jewel vault, which Camilla has full access to. Page Six bizarrely claimed that the brooch is “a subtle show of support for her conspiracy-theory-stricken daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton.” Because the brooch looks like a bigger version of Kate’s cursed engagement ring, get it? I don’t think that’s a show of support, especially since Kate wasn’t even wearing her rings in that Mother’s Day frankenphoto.
Meanwhile, Camilla made an offhand comment about her grandson and people thought she was referring to Prince Louis of Wales. She was not!
Queen Camilla met her grandson’s name twin during her latest royal outing. The Queen, 76, traveled to the Isle of Man on Wednesday to confer city status on the Borough of Douglas, where she delivered a speech on behalf of King Charles and presented a letters patent to make it official.
Queen Camilla chatted with well-wishers during a mini walkabout on her way out of Douglas Borough Council, where she met Rachael Hughes and her 15-week-old twins, Louie and Oliver.
“I have a Louis grandson… quite a handful,” the Queen said, according to Sky News.
Some royal reports speculated that Queen Camilla was referring to Prince Louis, the 5-year-old son of Prince William and Kate Middleton who is known to have a spunky side, but Buckingham Palace corrected the record.
“Buckingham Palace has since clarified that the Queen was referring to grandson Louis Lopes,” Hello! magazine wrote in a footnote to their original story.
I actually forgot that Camilla also has a grandson named Louis. We usually only hear about her granddaughters – Camilla is reportedly pretty close to her granddaughters. It would have rubbed people the wrong way if she referred to her step-grandson as a handful, so I’m glad Buckingham Palace clarified that.
Last thing, this clip is making the rounds. I believe this, that Buckingham Palace (Camilla especially) is sitting back and watching Kensington Palace’s implosion with glee. The thing is, Buckingham Palace’s credibility is also shot, because most casual observers don’t understand that BP and KP exist as rival courts.
The two palaces are fighting: we been knew🤣 pic.twitter.com/t43K8hrODJ

It is creepy that Camilla allegedly wants to match the ring that first belonged to Diana. Diana told Morton that Camilla left a note for Diana she wanted them to meet for lunch and wanted to see the ring.
I can’t even see the jewellery…..can’t get past old leather-face.
Yeah! Cam is trolling Willnot, but of course the rats will explain it as a support for Keen.
The brooch was a wedding gift from Prince Albert to Queen Victoria. She left it to be a part of the royal collection so that all Queens after her can wear it. So while I can’t stand cowmilla, it’s just another one of Victoria’s jewels and part of a bunch of other sapphires.
$10Million!!! Ten striking million dollars while people are starving in the UK. At least have the decency to hide the damn thing.
Side Chick is trolling both Khate and the late Diana Spencer. Look at the sly, insulting grin…on a face that fate has chosen to outwardly show who they truly are on the inside. As a parent, I haven’t always agreed with my children’s or their spouse’s choices, but I’ve always wanted the best for them. What kind of parent is jealous of their children’s success or purposefully undermines their lives so they can look better? Better how? Laughing and being happy about your child’s public missteps only reveals to the world what a terrible person and parent you were/are. Way to go Chuckles the t*ird. How you will be written up in truthful history books isn’t going to be anywhere close to great.
Was “Kate” in the farm store video on TMZ wearing her ring?
Show of support? More like “my big blue is way bigger than your big blue, and by the way – where is your big blue right now? I hear it’s missing.”
Reading yesterday’s comment threads when I couldn’t sleep, it occurred to me: what if Kate heard about Charles’s illness and tried to upstage him, just like the flower show? And the doubled illness reports aren’t Charles supporting Kate by pulling focus (shielding her privacy by following news about her with his own, disclosing his illness, supposedly visiting her at the London Clinic) but him trying to pull the limelight back from Kitty Keen? Charles not fixing William’s mess is revenge for the attempt to steal the spotlight. And here is Camilla’s contribution to the big FU Charles is sending.
The KP mess has overtaken questions about Charles’ lack of transparency about his cancer.
Which is very convenient for Charles!
“ Show of support? More like “my big blue is way bigger than your big blue, and by the way – where is your big blue right now? I hear it’s missing.”
This. Also, y’all correct me if I’m wrong but I think that brooch was the inspiration for the design of the ring. If it was then I wouldn’t put it past Camilla to wear that brooch as a way of saying “I’m the queen and you are a small imitation.”
LOL! This is totally it.
The ring is a very classic old-fashioned design. And as noted, the royal vault has had these honking sapphire brooches for long before Garrards made that ring.
I’m in the “yeah I have a big blue too” camp.
I think this is also Camilla’s way of trolling Kate’s lack of access to the royal jewels. Camilla shut down Kate’s access after the coronation.
Actually Diana’s ring was not custom made, it was on a tray of rings Charles had brought in for her to review and she said she chose big blue simply because it was the biggest and most expensive because she was insulted. She naively thought Charles would take one of the royal jewels to have it custom designed into an engagement ring, but no, he just rang up a Joe the Jeweler and had him bring over a sample of “rings to go”.
What @Jaded said. Plus, Camilla gives zero thought to Kate when she’s dressing herself for the day, c’mon folks. These RR writers & their ‘nod to such & such’ ‘sweet reminder’ blah di blah, are just full of horsesh*t.
🎯 That’s 10 million quid trolling.
Lol, wearing that brooch isn’t support for Kate, it’s “My Big Blue is bigger than your Big Blue.”
I don’t doubt Camilla is enjoying herself. What does she care about credibility – her future is set.
Totally agree with the brooch theory. This broad isn’t the ‘let’s support another woman’ type.
Yes I agree she is trolling Cant with her version of big blue. I do think BP is kinda happy KP is f**king up on a grand scale but I really wonder how BP feels about looking like a side show these days.
They have to be overjoyed that they look like the only adults.
As my friend Jules would say, Brooch Warfare.
@Where’sMyTiara
Brooch Warfare—too funny! I’m imagining brooches flying like shuriken (throwing/ninja stars).
I agree, Eurydice. And I’d add (I’ve thought since the beginning of all this) that maybe the Wailses divorce is coming and Keen’s Big Blue has been returned to the royal vaults (hence the naked finger in the Frankenphoto). So this brooch is some kind of pointed dig at Keen. Maybe Camzilla will be wearing more sapphires in the coming days and weeks.
That was an absolute troll by Camilla. Natural for her, she’s the queen of them.
I believe the Queen wore this broach so it’s more about her taking over the position of the Queen than giving a shit about Kate. She doesn’t.
The Queen frequently wore the brooch. It was a wedding gift from Prince Albert to queen Victoria. It’s one of the most valuable and sentimental pieces in the collection.
I suspect side piece is one of those women who got stuck with the prize she chased and regrets it. Now she has to do things that she doesn’t want to do, and ultimately, she is no one, has no real power. She is nothing without her husband and will get tossed away if her husband dies before her.
And her spin is that she wanted none of this she looks happiest when she flaunts expensive jewels from the royal collection and grinning for the cameras.
My question has always been but WHY does it have to be ugly? Why cant they all just get enough positive reporting and engagement like other European Royals. Sure if they want more attention for the senior royals that can be worked out and everyone should know their ‘place.’ I dont get why it has to be a soap opera,I dont think the public cares for the drama as much as the BM thinks. It’s just sad.
Wouldn’t the natural thing be to say, “I have two grandsons named Louis”? Did she think that would be a problem with the palace or did she only think of the one?
I am sure she does not think of Charles’ grandchildren as hers.
They of course are also Diana s grandchildren.
But she had to know her comment was inviting “misinterpretation.” So not only where’s Kate’s big blue but also where are her children?
@Shawna, well, I don’t know about that. If they were so concerned about things like that, they’d stop using the same darned names that have been in use for centuries! So many Louis in that family! Then you combine the royal Louis with the aristo Louis, and it’s just flat out ridiculous!
Not sure. All their children were grown when she married Charles, but they might enjoy their grandkids together. It would be nice if everyone could get along.
But Prince Louis was born after their marriage and they were making such a big deal of being a “blended family” at the con (minus, of course, Meghan, Archie & Lili).
I think Camilla was in a no-win situation with this one. If she called Prince Louis her grandson then all the Diana fans would be in uproar and Workshy Willie would have a tantrum about it too. Now that someone has explained that she was talking about her own biological grandson, then other people are criticising her for not recognising PL as a grandchild.
Kind of difficult to work up sympathy for Cam in a no-win situation since that is what Di was in with her marriage and H&M are in constantly for every little thing.
No one said she had to mention Louis children in her life.
Brf has one of the ugliest collection of diamonds and jewelry. Only thing I liked in their collection is bangles from india and russian looted jewelry. Rest of it just meh.
Really? I’ve been obsessing over the earrings they’ve been wearing. And the pearls.
Check out other royal houses they have excellent designs than brf.
Yes, their pearl game is tight!
I once visited the museum where the crown jewels of Iran are displayed. It made the BRF’s jewels look like trinkets in comparison.
Megan, ITA about the former crown jewels of Iran. The incredible jeweled globe made my jaw drop when I saw it.
They also wear the same jewelry over and over again. They have a huge vault – wear some different pieces!!
I think majority of it was looted illegally that’s why. Plus victoria tiaras might be very fragile. Also I want to see their stolen russian ones. Many fleeing aristocrats of russian illegally sold their collection to queen mary which is kept hidden from the government. I’m also curious if late queen and her people made some clauses for these royal jewelry with government. Only certian pieces to be used and rest to be kept in crown vault. Because so far keen and camilla only had the tiara and jewelry they used to wear before late queen. They dont seems to wear any new pieces.
Bet after China wants its stolen goods back from Chumley, the royals are running around removing anything from the public eye they stole back in the good ol’ Empire days.
Kit, Or possibly using a trick from the past, which is having the jewels repurposed for a “new” necklace/ ring/ bracelet/ brooch/ tiara…
@JK Camilla has worn new-to-her royal tiaras since the coronation including Queen Elizabeth’s favorite tiara, The Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. She has also worn some big necklaces that Elizabeth wore for major events.
Camilla has the access and she is using it. Meanwhile, Kate hasn’t worn new-to-her royal jewelry since the coronation. Kate’s clothing budget was slashed, as well.
Also, for my fellow magpies:
https://www.thecourtjeweller.com/
@JK those are incorrect and out of date comments about queen Mary. The jewel lists and their invoices exist. She bought less than five pieces and paid at or above what they were valued at. The Vladimir tiara she paid a huge amount for even though it was bent and damaged. Olga romanoff a descendant recently had to admit the legends were wrong. She didn’t want to admit that it was her father and some of his siblings doing the lying. Queen Mary had no respect for many of the exiled Romanovs who refused to find jobs and some were constantly going to their mother Xenia for handouts. Xenia was being supported by George V with a stipend and home. Queen Mary had their shiftless number (same with Olga’s sons) and they set about blackening her reputation. Successfully. The invoices appeared in the late 90s/early 00s in a bank, I think. Lost Fortune of the Tsars by William Clarke, who found the invoices, is a fascinating book. Queen Mary herself sent money privately to princess Catherine yourievsky, morganatic daughter of Alexander II, in exile in England. She was pretty much the only one to care.
@jk part 2
Queen Mary paid GBP28,000 for the Vladimir in 1921. That’s about 1.7 million in today’s currency.
As for the other Romanov jewels, Vincent Meylan and Stefano Papi have also written extensively on the subject.
Empress Marie’s jewelry was sold after her death by Hennels in 1929. (A decade after the Romanovs went into exile.) Those bought by Queen Mary (a Pearl choker with sapphire and Diamond clasp. High end estimate GBP6000 (GBP 478,000 today) and that’s what she paid; a brooch with an oval, cabochan sapphire surrounded by diamonds and a pear shaped Pearl. Valued between GBP1400-1900 and Queen Mary paid GBP2375 (GBP190,000 today); a brooch with a large Pearl surrounded by a diamond rope. Valued at GBP550, bought for GBP555 or 44,000 today). That’s it. The Vladimir, the two brooches and a necklace. Both bought for more than they were worth. And the Queen of Romania bought way more jewelry from her sister and others. Like, a lot. (Princess Mary and/or her husband the Earl of Harewood bought two pieces at the high end of valuation.)
There’s a diamond and sapphire sunray tiara that Leslie Field cited in her book as being Russian but there’s nothing to say that it is. Eugenie’s wedding tiara was bequeathed by Mrs Ronnie Greville. Queen Mary was gifted several Russian jewels for her marriage and as presents in later years including a huge amethyst brooch. The king later bought a diamond bracelet with a sapphire, ruby and Pearl. The myth of all these Russian jewels is just that—a myth. The bulk of the gems Mary left to Elizabeth were wedding, birthday and anniversary gifts.

Agree that the BRF collection is far from the best, in size, quality, or history. Personally my favorite is the Swedish collection, and by extension the various Bernadotte jewels that have ended up in the Norwegian and Danish royal families. I really wish that the book written about all the tiaras Ingrid Alexandra will have access to would be translated into english
The Dutch RF has gorgeous jewelry too. Maxima has worn some really incredible pieces and with such style too.
Louis of wales is Diana s grandchild. Camilla has one grandchild called Louis. And is stepgrandmother of Louis of wales. She can’t claim gransmotherhood of Diana’s grandchildren.
I know you loathe Camilla with the fire of a thousand suns, but a lot of stepgrandmothers do just call the step grandkids their grandkids. It’s all about the particular family dynamics.
Exactly. Especially if they are married to the grandparent at the time of the child’s birth.
It is my choice and my prerogative not to care for Camilla. Perhaps you stated things a bit strongly about my feelings for her. You don’t know exactly how I feel. I freely admit i dont like her.William and Kate made it clear they consider Diana the grandmother
Like Charles knows Andrew is camillas children’s granddad and the Parker Bowles kids don’t call Charles grandpa. It also makes things more complicated considering Camilla disliked diana.
Equality. Diana and charles are parents of harry and william that is the legacy of future generations. I dont think even camilla would tell them to call her grandma under the circumstances. Harry and Meghan are also telling their children about diana. I would hope that all the grandchildren would feel great pride in being part of diana legacy.
I think we all know exactly how you feel about her Tessa, LOLOL.
you just always hammer on about her being the stepgrandmother and I don’t think you realize there are a lot of people (maybe on here) who could find your insistence on the “step” to be hurtful and/or insulting.
I am talking Camilla here. Nobody else. And no other family situations
Camilla is enjoying the shiz kp is in 💯. The brooch is reminder of “i’m out! Where’s Kate” of course it’s a nod to stir in more shizz in the kp pan. I love mean cam these days.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Camilla listened to the audiobook of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War as meditation while she drifts off to sleep.
I loathe her but will grudgingly admit she is very good at court manipulations and trolling.
Maybe along with a copy of The Prince by Machiavelli for light nighttime reading.
I think Charles and Camilla are partly enjoying another Princess of Wales media firestorm because in their deluded minds it helps erase their own crimes. I think the other part of it is punishing Will for the lackluster yet treasonous campaign to skip his father and be crowned instead. But mostly it just smacks of not interrupting your enemy while they’re making a mistake.
It is a bad reflection on Charles how his direct heir turned out. Charles coddled William and enabled his lazy ways for decades
ITA – and that’s why they added the link to sussex.com, so he could claim credit for how Harry turned out.
It’s also diminishing the value of the Princess of Wales title. I’ve seen over and over people saying that the Princess of Wales title is cursed. That would bring a smile to a horse with an ass for a face.
I agree with you that this is about getting out of the way of your enemy when they’re making a mistake – but its a bad look for the monarchy that the heir is considered the enemy. This isn’t the 13th century.
But mostly I’m just sitting back and laughing. Charles’ PR game has been off in recent years but in the past few months he has been on point. And its not like he’s out there waving his medical file or dancing the night away or whatever. He’s just doing exactly what a competent PR person would advise someone like him to do in this situation.
By that logic, his team has good reason to let Charles continue sitting back while KP burns. Meaning he has good reason to do so! Intriguing.
I wonder if it’s also a generation war. “Young(er) and Upcoming” vs. “Old(er) and Experienced.”
Press and public: “Kate and Bill are the future of the monarchy! Young and glamorous! Future King and Queen! Older Euro abdicating so young(er) can take over! Hooray for youth and innovation! ” (*cough*)
Chuck and Cam: “There you go, folks…the young(er) future King and Queen. Now watch this. Who does it better?”
I think KC and Cam are daring the public to ask themselves: “Which do you prefer, youth and glamour, or stability?”
It’s the Monarch vs. Diana all over again. Normal Bill has recreated his mother’s battles and taken them on as his own. Talk about enmeshment!
Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance.
David Mamet
It’s just odd to me that BP (Chuck & Cow) are working against KP (WanK) and not together for the good of the one thing that benefits them all, The Monarchy. Unless they’re all secretly Republicans just waiting for The Crown to topple so they can tap their offshore accounts and move to Saint Tropez or Mustique. Petty monsters.
Buckingham Palace should realize that KP’s disasters are their own if they like it or not, or if they have anything to do with those disasters or not. William is screwing the monarchy, not just his little corner of it.
I think Charles should put his foot down and just bring the two royal courts under one umbrella already.
I’m not sure he even wants to share an umbrella with William😂. While it might make logistical sense, he’s prob good with William being far away doing his own thing. It does make him look bad though. Most Americans don’t distinguish the two palaces.
And we all know William doesn’t like to share umbrellas.
😂
It’s both at the moment. BP looks brilliant next to KP at the moment—it’s the most modern, functioning and popular KC and QCC have ever been. It stands out and is appreciated.
However, BP is going to have all of its photos scrutinized, because they too will have to deal with mistrust. Yes, QCC has done a decent job, but she also took a vacation while the monarchy is short staffed. The fact that they lie and no one is truly willing to help out cancer-stricken KC has been duly noted.
I’m going to make one nice comment about Camilla, I appreciate that this brooch got out of the vault and she’s wearing it. Jewelry is meant to be worn and the public should get to view the jewels and enjoy them. I always read the articles about QEII’s “brooch diplomacy” and the background on the jewelry she was wearing at various events. I’m a magpie.
Also, this gives all the pillaged countries an opportunity to speak up and demand the return of items that the royals have stolen over the years, so keep wearing those ill-gotten jewels Camilla so everyone can be reminded that many should be returned.
The NYTimes today had an article highlighting all the brooches that men wore at the Oscars. This winter, after re-organizing my jewelry box, I decided that I was going to WEAR the gorgeous brooches I had inherited, grandmother-stigma be damned. Because, like you, I believe that jewelry should be worn and enjoyed. Bring back the brooch!!
I agree with you. I was looking through my jewelry box yesterday, and saw several brooches that were my mother’s as well as some nice pieces I have too. I used to wear them when I wore suits to my job in the city. Even if I wear them now on my coats and jackets, at least I’ll be making use of them. And I love Camilla’s brooch, though not the wearer. It was given to Victoria by Albert as an engagement gift and she wore it on her wedding day. The late queen used to wear it quite frequently.
Correction: Albert gave Victoria this brooch the night before their wedding. It’s one of the most iconic pieces in the RF jewel collection.
For all you magpies out there. Never forget order of sartorial splendor. Also I am obsessed and meeting with this jeweler to renew some stones I have. Enjoy. PS no $ interest at all. https://spurjewelry.com/
Just want to say how ridiculous it would be for tabloids like the DM to cost Camilla’s outfit and include the £10m brooch in that cost. They don’t do that for Kate’s jewellery, either. But they do for Meghan.
What happens if the expensive bling is somehow lost or misplaced.
Which begs the question: Where is Big Blue? Did Kate missplace it or has it been returned to the Royal Vault?
I bet those 2 dingbats are stupid enough to be gleeful. As if kategate lasting almost a month isn’t a failure of leadership on both Charles and William’s part. Additionally if you don’t pay close attention to the royals (which most people don’t) you don’t know there are 2 courts. This is royal family credibility and scandal not just KP.
In short new day same shit as Charles and Camilla continue to be publicly awful.
That’s a lot of brooch for daytime, yikes. Better worn at a state banquet.
Her hair looks better than usual here. I’ll say it again, she’d be a handsome woman were it not for that hideous rictus of a mouth.
Yeah, wearing a $10 million brooch to a local council meeting???
Anyone remember comedian Harry Enfield’s “Loadsamoney” song? That comes to mind. It’s tacky as hell.
Charles has been able to hide behind KP’s mess so of course BP loves it but the terrible management of the entire Royal Household has been exposed by this debacle and it also confirms what Harry and Meghan have said about the Royal Family.
I bet the Spider-Horse and her donkey are happy about KP imploding. I think Camilla has some more bombs to drop, I don’t think she is ever not plotting something. I bet Putin calls her for advice.
Any thoughts who are the winners and losers in this omnishambles? Top winners : Meg and Harry for getting away from this nest of vipers. Controversial I know but KC and QC must fancy themselves as winners because they have both kept calm and carried on. They have also had the satisfaction of the prat who would be king wet his pants in fright, hide, run around in circles, show up belatedly woozy for work, drop out at last minute, through own wife under the bus and blame everything else twice for his own inadequacy at a time of crisis. Kate also “wins” the sympathy and support of the BRM. Willy cant withstand the heat in the kitchen there will be no divorce as recent events have given him a taste of the tsusamni of bad press he’ll accrue if he dumps delikate Kate. A divorce is an admission of failure and always allows people to conclude that the perfect marriage PR was BS: so what else has he been lying about? Biggest loser in this is Will because he has been tried and found wanting. Okay he still gets to be king and many will still continue to cover for him out of vested interest but Willy has shown and will continue to show who he really is by both his actions (blaming other) and inactions ( laziness.)
Spot on. People forgot that he threw his wife under the bus. I bet she thought she was safe. He made her admit publicly and in writing that the Frankenphoto was all her fault. LMAO. When the chips are down or the ship FK Willykins won’t throw her a life jacket or let her get on the raft. She might as well resign herself to take the flack for any of his mistakes. Gone Girl should have gotten out when she had the chance. Neither of them are ready for prime time without the help of the bootlicking British media. These past two months proved it. The British media keep bad mouthing the Kardashians but Kris Jenner would never preside over this clusterfuck.
That wasn’t Kate who admitted to fudging the photo, that was some comms lackey at KP. She wouldn’t have put her name on that lame announcement.
Dear Queen Mutley. She’s been at the sauce, surely, for most of these engagements. She really doesn’t care.
Imagine walking around with $10 million on your lapel while Britons are struggling to buy food and heat their homes. It’s obscene.
The royals seem to be living back in time to the age of marie Antoinette
@Jen: Thank you – “obscene” was the word I was looking for. Unbelievable! Simple unbelievable! 🙁
Isn’t Charles worried about how William is squandering duch y money. That is one of Charles legacies
That is some brooch!
I got rid of my brooches years ago. I found while they looked good and really dressed up a suit or coat, they tore or ruined fabrics. Pins were either too ‘sturdy’ for finer fabrics or too short to attach well to coats. Glad they more or less went out of fashion.
As for that particular brooch, its too big. I think any gem above a certain size looks fake. Its my same feeling about the Hope Diamond : too big to be taken seriously. Might as well wear paste! Some folks like large gems. I think they look tacky (which does describe the wearer in this case.)
Oh but if you see big diamonds in real life they are so beautiful. They just radiate colours in a way that little diamonds don’t. I thought they were just rather boring white stones as had only seen very small ones. But I remember seeing large diamonds on display and realized the point of them for the first time.
My a$$ she was talking about Louis Lopes. That kid is 15. It would be insulting and damaging to call him a handful. Now a five year old who is known for wagging a finger at his mother and putting a hand over her mouth… that kid is a handful.
Exactly!
And the palace issuing that misdirection must have followed some raging behind the scenes
Yeah I don’t see Camilla ever acknowledging Charles’ grandchildren as hers she acts as if this side of her family doesn’t exist except for Charles’ sons who she likes to denigrate through the press.
I think she and Andrew her ex spend time with their children and grandchildren at raymill.
The brooch is the one that Prince Albert gave to Queen Victoria as a wedding present, and she wore it on her wedding day. This is a family heirloom that has existed long before Diana picked a sapphire ring out of a Garrads case. Camilla wore this brooch last year with the same coat, so I don’t think it was any sort of sign about Kate.
But then again, we’re getting so little information from Kensington Palace that we might as well be reading smoke signals.
Of course, Buckingham Palace is relishing the mess made by KP … and I’m sure Charles and Camilla are, too.
Charles and William can’t be that close, as that blonde woman in the video (Penny Junor?) claimed. These sorry excuses for family members are bloodthirsty competitors, who view popularity as a zero-sum game.
Several sources reported on Williams temper tantrums
I have no doubt the two Cs are cackling over this circus at KP and trolling them at this point. Charles was practically posing in that crystal clear car photo from the other day, making sure the photographers got his whole face.
I wonder if BP still has a plague of rats ? A Pest Controller told me while getting rid of my unwanted guests. So literally and figuratively. I’m waiting for them all to jump ship. BP would look good on one of those Abandoned vids on YouTube.
Sorry, but that picture of camzilla where she is smiling, all I can see is the grinch!!
And she’s saying to bone, see I’ve got the jewels and the good will now, all you have is Billy, and even he’s not really yours 😂😂😂😅😅
Yes. That wide smile that the Grinch has.
Charle’s PR strategies haven’t always worked in his favor but he hasn’t had to lift a finger while KP continues to walk from PR crisis to PR crisis. So yeah, I imagine Camilla is having a grand old time where people aren’t constantly harping on her being the Other Woman/Queen Mistress. And I do think she is trolling Kate by wearing that historical brooch. She could have worn any piece by the Royal Collection but she chose to wear at this exact moment when William and Kate are the targets of ridicule the giant blue sapphire (?) brooch that most resembles Kate’s/Diana’s engagement ring, the ring that was notably missing from the infamous Mother’s Day photo.
I don’t believe for one minute that Camilla was actually talking about a 14 yr old grandson as being “a handful” while talking with a woman with 3 month old twins. Give me a break. She meant Prince Louis and there was nothing wrong with her saying what she did. “A handful” isn’t an insult. Camila is not my favourite person but in this case I think the lie is in the follow up when for whatever reason she (or her “people”) decided she spoke out of turn.
Louis Lope s has a twin brother g u s. Camilla s daughter has the twins and their older sister eliza.
You know the more you look at this whole family (the current batch) it’s every person for his or herself. You don’t get the impression they care much about the country or the welfare of the people. Or even each other really. It’s like all of those things is an after thought. It’s a job and a bloody boring one for them. And frankly that’s part of the problem.
Many of them have way too much time and money on their hands so they get up to no good. They get into stupid troubles most teens have grown out. When they get in trouble, they whine and use all their might and resources like a cooing Tatler piece to cover up their mess. They don’t use their vast wealth and resources to better things or even themselves because they are that lazy.
It’s great I guess Cam is knocking back an xtra celebratory GnT for her win. But you know these useless dilettantes make it easy for her.
Ironic that the brooch, a wedding gift from Prince Albert to Queen Victoria in 1840, and symbolic of a great love story, is now being worn by one half of a home wrecking crew.
Of course Camilla is, the work of her hands are quite intricate and intriguing. She’s managed to push Princess Diana aside, has divided the house of Diana & House of Windsor, while placing herself at the very top of the palace as the crown jewel, all with a calm and big smile. She’s calculating, I think that’s why Harry had to be pushed out because Harry studied and understands exactly who she is.
You can almost see the feathers of the poor hummingbird she just snacked on sticking out from between those slashes in her face she probably calls lips.
