Royal biographer reveals Camilla's nickname for Meghan Markle

<p>Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, branded Meghan Markle “that minx” and thought she was “ungrateful”, a royal expert claims.</p><p>Royal biographer Tom Bower has claimed that the two duchesses have never seen eye-to-eye. Future Queen Camilla is reportedly “suspicious” of the intentions of Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex.</p><p>He believes that Camilla, 74, remained “tight lipped” with her opinions of Meghan after she was brought into the Royal Family by her stepson.</p><p>There has been complete silence from Prince Harry and Meghan after the Queen announced Camilla would be known as Queen Consort when Prince Charles, aged 73 becomes King.</p><p>Mr Bowers believes that their silence was “deliberate” and an “insult” to the Royal Family.</p><p>“Perhaps the Sussexes’ deafening silence is Meghan’s way of declaring war.” He said.</p><p>“It is believed that she has never liked Camilla, and I am sure the feelings are reciprocated. She found it hard to believe that Meghan would sacrifice her career and independence to serve silently as a team player devoted to the monarchy."</p><p>“But, as in all her conduct, Camilla remained tight-lipped. While watching Charles painfully believe that Harry was intent on publicly humiliating him, Camilla undoubtedly provided the comfort and good advice to reassure her husband that he had done the best he could.</p><p>“She could comfort him that while his authority is challenged by the Sussex’s, he would emerge victorious."</p><p>“During those inevitably endless, tortured and inconclusive conversations, Camilla is the sort who would refer to Meghan as ‘that minx’ — the self-seeking troublemaker whose antics will always end in tears.”</p><p>In an address marking her Accession Day, Her Majesty, 95, said it was her “sincere wish” that the Duchess of Cornwall will be known as Queen Consort.</p><p><em>Image: Getty</em></p>

The story behind Duchess Camilla’s engagement ring

<p>Whenever she makes a public appearance, Duchess Camilla is never seen without a special piece of jewellery: her engagement ring from Prince Charles.</p> <p>The ring, which has adorned Camilla’s left hand since her royal engagement in February 2005, is an art deco design featuring a five-carat emerald cut diamond at its centre and diamond baguettes on each side, placed on a band made from traditional Welsh gold.</p> <p>At the time, Clarence House confirmed the ring was a royal family heirloom. It is believed to have come from the Queen Mother’s collection, <em><a href="https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a32465831/camilla-engagement-ring-prince-charles/">Town &amp; Country</a> </em>reported, with the monarch being seen wearing the piece in the 1980s.</p> <p>The ring is one of many jewellery pieces the Duchess of Cornwall owns from the Queen Mother’s collection. Another adornment that is on Camilla’s hold is the Greville Tiara, which was inherited to Queen Elizabeth II and placed under <a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/wedding/bridal-fashion/g23656976/best-royal-family-jewelry-of-all-time/?slide=4">a long-term loan to the Duchess</a>.</p> <p>Camilla tied the knot with Prince Charles on April 9, 2005, with a civil ceremony at the Windsor Guildhall and a marriage blessing at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.</p>

Royal Ballet: How Duchess Camilla stays fit during lockdown

<p>The Duchess of Cornwall has taken up ballet with a group of “ancient friends” as a way to stay fit.</p> <p>During a conversation with Dame Darcey Bussell and Angela Rippon, Duchess Camilla revealed she had been taking ballet lessons for 18 months through Silver Swans tutorials aimed at the over-55s.</p> <p>The 72-year-old duchess said she decided to try the discipline after visiting a Silver Swans class in New Zealand in 2018.</p> <p>“At first I thought it was going to be very funny and I was going to laugh at everybody toppling over next door to me,” she said.</p> <p>“But we concentrate so hard that we don’t even know what our friend next door is doing.</p> <p>“You might groan a bit afterwards, huff, grunt and everything else. But you do feel so much better. It’s fun.”</p> <p>Since then, she has been attending classes with three “ancient friends”, she said. “The four of us clatter around and when we are in London, we do it once a week. It makes all the difference.”</p> <p>Camilla said while she might have “improved a tiny bit” after 18 months of training, she would not be “taking to the stage”.</p> <p>The duchess, who was recently appointed as the Vice-Patron of the Royal Academy of Dance, encouraged those aged over 55 to have a go at ballet during the coronavirus lockdown through the Silver Swans online classes.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr">With the news that The Duchess of Cornwall is to become Vice Patron of the Royal Academy of Dance, Her Royal Highness undertook a video call with <a href="https://twitter.com/DarceyOfficial?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DarceyOfficial</a> and Angela Rippon to discuss the Silver Swans programme. 🩰<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/InternationalDanceDay?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#InternationalDanceDay</a><a href="https://twitter.com/RADheadquarters?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RADheadquarters</a> <a href="https://t.co/urjDxgg9BZ">pic.twitter.com/urjDxgg9BZ</a></p> — Clarence House (@ClarenceHouse) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClarenceHouse/status/1255399394867843073?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 29, 2020</a></blockquote> <p>In the video call with Bussell and Rippon, the duchess also shared an update on her husband Prince Charles, who recently recovered from coronavirus.</p> <p>“My husband is a workaholic, so he will work wherever he is. He’s sitting at his desk now working away,” she said.</p> <p>“We try and do something for all our charities most days to try and give them a bit of encouragement and just try to lend our support.”</p>

Royal New Zealand tour for Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla begins

<p>Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla have been warmly welcomed to New Zealand for the first day of their official Royal tour with a traditional Māori greeting known as a “hongi”.</p> <p>The couple touched down in Auckland on Sunday before throwing themselves into a full day of engagements on Monday morning. </p> <p>They both attended the Queen’s Colour Ceremony at the Royal New Zealand Air Force Whenuapai Airbase, where they learnt about the traditional Māori welcome, which is known as Pōwhiri. </p> <p>It is a ritual that was experienced by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, not too long ago, when they arrived in Wellington, New Zealand for their tour in October. </p> <p>Following the ceremony, the Duke of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall did not let bad weather stop them from attending The Queen’s Colour, the highest honour a sovereign can bestow. </p> <p>During the 1953-54 royal tour of New Zealand, Queen Elizabeth II presented her Colour to the RNZAF. </p> <p>The presentation was made at the same air base on December 28, 1953. </p> <p>As the Colour is now worn, a replacement has been received and was formally presented to the Duke and Duchess. </p> <p>Earlier in the day, the royal couple had the opportunity to sample some of the area’s finest wine while visiting the Hunting Lodge - a site where the first Sauvignon Blanc grapes were grown in New Zealand. </p> <p>While doing this, they also learnt of the lodge’s “Paddock to Table” approach, which aims to produce as much food onsite as possible. </p> <p>The lodge also strives to source additional products purely from local businesses and resources. </p> <p>Farmer Richard Kidd, who provides lamb grown at Kaipara Farms, spoke to the Prince of Wales. </p> <p>"We spoke about the lamb and I thanked him for being an advocate of wool, which is down on price at the moment," Kidd said. </p> <p>"However, the price of lamb is doing very well."</p> <p>Prince Charles has spoken up about the importance of sustainability and waste reduction in the last decade, and on Monday got to visit Critical Design, a company using innovative technology to turn plastic waste into reusable materials that will manufacture other products.</p> <p>Tuesday is just as busy for the Prince and Duchess, who will be meeting Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and her partner, Clark Gayford.</p> <p>The royal couple is in New Zealand for an eight-day tour, their first to the country since 2015.</p>

Culturally speaking, white is a symbol of purity, cleanliness, immaculacy and perfection, which is why it's the natural colour choice for bridal dresses, doctors' coats and seafarers."</p> <p>All four women choosing to wear white isn’t just a happy coincidence either.</p> <p>"Although white dresses are not a required 'dress code' for decorated white tie events, it's one of the few occasions where white would be a natural choice, especially as it's a lovely contrast colour to wear underneath the royal blue sashes,” she explained.</p> <p>“The men were all wearing white bow ties, honours and medals with their tuxedos too, so I think it's safe to assume that Monday's coordinated whites were somewhat by 'natural design' and not coincidence."</p>

Vogue editor votes Camilla as the “best dressed royal” over Kate and Meghan

<p>Duchess Kate and Duchess Meghan are well known for their fashion looks and creating shopping frenzies for clothing items they are seen wearing.</p> <p>However, one British fashion stylish and editor at<span> </span><em>Vogue</em><span> </span>believes the Duchess of Cornwall’s style is the one to look out for.</p> <p><em>Secrets of the Royal Dressmaker </em>is a show that premiered in the UK last night and it claimed the<span> </span><em>Vogue</em><span> </span>editor Edward Enninful is apparently a big fan of Camilla’s clothing.</p> <p>Although Prince William and Prince Harry’s wives can boast an upward of $300,000 in fashion sales per year, Enninful wants to secure Camilla as his next royal magazine cover star.</p> <p>In April 2016, the Duchess of Cambridge was British<span> </span><em>Vogue</em>’s centenary cover star, so if her mother-in-law was to be on the next cover, she would be following in her daughter-in-law’s footsteps.</p> <p>Princess Diana also graced the cover a number of times before she died in 1997, as well as Princess Margaret and Lady Helen Taylor – the Duke and Duchess of Kent’s daughter.</p> <p>Royal correspondent Emily Andrews said the royal member is admired by Enninful for her fashion taste.</p> <p>“Edward Enninful, who's the new editor of<span> </span><em>Vogue</em>, adores Camilla, he thinks she's the best-dressed royal,” she explained.</p> <p>“He thinks she's gorgeous and he wants to put her on the cover of<span> </span><em>Vogue</em>.”</p> <p>The Duchess of Cambridge stole the spotlight for the<span> </span><em>Vogue</em><span> </span>cover of June 2016 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of British<span> </span><em>Vogue</em>.</p> <p>Duchess Kate followed the footsteps of Princess Diana who was on the magazine cover a total number of four times.</p> <p>Much like her young daughter-in-law, Camilla enjoys a “classic plain” look over a glamorous frock, says Royal author Claudia Joseph.</p> <p>“Camilla, like Kate, is much happier in jeans and wellies playing with her grandchildren and dogs than she is in posh frocks,” she said.</p> <p>“She wears quite traditional clothing, elegant, tailored, not showing too much flesh.”</p> <p>Scroll through the gallery above to see the Duchess of Cornwall’s fashion looks throughout the years.  </p>

Camilla's redemption: How she revamped her image and won the public's heart

<div> <div class="replay"> <div class="reply_body body linkify"> <div class="reply_body"> <div class="body_text "> <p>She was once labelled “Britain’s most hated woman,” however the Duchess of Cornwall seems to have come very far since then. At 71 years old, with over 90 charities under her belt and having completed 219 engagements in 2018 alone, it is safe to say she might have done just that.</p> <p>Blamed for being the person to “drive apart” Prince Charles and Princess Diana, Duchess Camilla has not had it easy from the public or the media in the slightest.</p> <p>However, she has not let that deter her and has been on a mission to change the public's view of her. According to royal expert Phil Dampier, Camilla has become “now quite popular.”</p> <p>“I think most people will accept her as Queen when the time comes,” he explained to the <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-6898105/How-Camilla-revamped-public-image-according-royal-insiders.html" target="_blank"><em>Daily Mail.</em></a></p> <p>The Duchess met 70-year-old Prince Charles in the summer of 1971 and was instantly taken to her because she was “not in any way overawed by him, not fawning or sycophantic,” according to royal biographer Penny Juror.</p> <p>But despite the undeniable chemistry that swirled around the couple, they were prevented from marrying back then, as the Duchess of Cornwall was deemed “unsuitable” with little aristocratic background despite her grandfather being a baron.</p> <p>She went on to marry Andrew Parker Bowles, with whom she shares two children, before they divorced in 1995 after 22 years of marriage.</p> <p>In April of 2005, the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall wed in a ceremony at Windsor Guildhall.</p> <p>With years of effort, Camilla has quietly refurbished her public image and given a new joy to the family.</p> <p>Frequently seen in the public eye with her husband, the two are often dissolving into giggles and smiles.</p> <p>She has even been described by a long-time friend as “witty,” and “100 per cent sure of who she is".</p> <p>“She has no side, no complexity,” they said.</p> <p>“She is warm, witty, endlessly cheerful and has the ability to laugh at everything and tease Charles out of his Eeyore grumpiness.”</p> <p>Not only has she been seen as an injection of playfulness into the royal family, she has also proven herself to be a tireless member with over 90 charities under her belt and having completed 219 engagements in 2018 alone.</p> <p><strong>Her sensitive approach to the Princess of Wales</strong></p> <p>While the public has largely pinned the Duchess as “the other woman” and the wedge that drove both Prince Charles and Princess Diana apart – even long after the late Princess of Wales’ death, Duchess Camilla has taken a sensitive approach.</p> <p>Although Camilla is technically the Princess of Wales, the royal chooses to not use the title due to its close association with Princess Di.</p> <p>Choosing to to known as the Duchess of Cornwall, her full official title is Her Royal Highness The Princess Charles Philip Arthur George, Princess of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall, Duchess of Rothesay, Countess of Chester, Countess of Carrick, Baroness of Renfrew, Lady of the Isles, Princess of Scotland, Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order. </p> <p><strong>She has the Queen’s approval</strong></p> <p>As a wedding gift when the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall wed, the Queen bestowed a particularly special title as Princess Consort.</p> <p>In 2016, Her Majesty went a step further by making the Duchess a member of the Privy Council – her most senior advisory body.</p> <p>To royal insiders and fans alike, the clear regard for her daughter-in-law shows that when Prince Charles is pronounced king, his wife will be able to be “in the room".</p> <p>Although not all royal fans are convinced of Duchess Camilla, many have a newfound respect for the hardworking royal.</p> <p>Are you a fan of the Duchess of Cornwall?

Duchess Camilla commits fashion faux pas in front of the Queen

<p>The Commonwealth Day service held on Monday was believed to have caused a stir amongst guests as they watched both the Queen and the Duchess of Cornwall appear in seemingly matching outfits.</p> <p>The event marked the 70th anniversary of the modern Commonwealth which saw Queen Elizabeth and her royal brood all together again – that is the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.</p> <p>Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, looked stunning in a deep purple velvet Bruce Oldfield coat, with a matching hat decorated with vibrant feathers.</p> <p>However, what stole the show was not her deep violet ensemble – it was the fact Queen Elizabeth looked eerily similar to her daughter-in-law in an almost identical outfit.</p> <p>Queen Elizabeth’s outfit was a slightly lighter shade of purple, by private dresser Angela Kelly. The getup came off as characteristically regal and as bright as the Duchess’ – choosing to accessorise with her Kent Amethyst brooch, which included a necklace and earrings once owned by Queen Victoria.</p> <p>The fashion faux pas made by Duchess Camilla was not overlooked by the public who took to social media to not critique the royal member for the blunder but commend her fashion choices.</p> <p>“Camilla wins my vote. Queen’s purple is lovely as well,” one user quipped.</p> <p>“Not sure it matters. I bet the colours appeared more dissimilar in person. Camilla's seemed a bit more navy to me, the Queen more purple. They both looked wonderful,” another wrote.</p> <p>One royal fan took to Twitter to question how the fashion faux pas could have happened.</p> <p>“So, the double purple day (Camilla and The Queen) leads me again to wonder how much communication/coordination happens between the royal ladies prior to a joint appearance,” the user wrote.</p> <p>“Do their stylists work independently or consult the stylist of the higher-ranking lady?”</p> <p>Scroll through the gallery above to see the royal duo both in purple outfits at the same event.</p> <p>What do you think of the Duchess of Cornwall’s fashion faux pas?
