Cross about Camilla

Camilla with the Archers team

She looked lovely on her wedding day. Her second wedding, that is. The wedding to Prince Charles. She is clearly a wonderful partner for him. Perhaps she's even a decent Duchess. But I cannot help feeling uneasy about the marketing of Camilla, the rehabilitation of her image.



I am very much of the generation that felt I knew Diana. I met her many times. We shared friends, and even a hairdresser. We talked together about cot death, about children, about marriages and men. We weren't friends, but I know Diana wasn't perfect, and might have been very "high maintenance", even manipulative. But she was right when she herself remarked in that famous interview with Martin Bashir that there were three in her marriage. And there should NOT have been.

Camilla as Queen, one day, in a crown that should have been Diana's? No, I really cannot take it. And all this fuss about Camilla appearing on The Archers? Ugh.
