[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the canopy tradition that Camilla is giving to her grandchildren traditionally belonged to duchesses. There are a bunch who aren’t part of the circus, some of whom are very wealthy and some who do more patronages and charity work than several of the working royals. I wonder if they were snubbed from the role in favor of Camilla’s pack because they snubbed Camilla. Supposedly, Queen Elizabeth detested Camilla. She might be persona non grata within aristocratic circles as well as many in the general public. [/quote]
I always thought the Queen had much more in common with Camilla than Diana. They were both outdoorsy types and liked horses and hunting.[/quote]
That's a superficial connection. You can be outdoorsy on your own or with any superficial acquaintance. And I'm sure the Queen had dozens of people to go riding and hunting with. But that kind of shared-hobby connection is not enough to make up for a total lack of shared values. Like: Putting family and the institution first, or Don't F*** My Married Son You Creep, or marital fidelity, or caring about humanitarian causes.

I'm not saying the Queen and Diana were besties because they weren't. Nor do I argue that Princess Diana was a morally perfect woman because she certainly was not. But I can't think of any reason why a deeply religious woman like the Queen, who stuck by her own imperfect marriage for decades and dedicated her whole life to her personal ideal of Britain, would have any desire to befriend a woman like Camilla Parker-Bowles.[/quote]
