Queen Camilla “won” Charles from his previous wife, Princess Diana. An expert on the royal family noticed that the two ladies have something in common. Diana overtook Camilla in important, social activities.
Queen Camilla has long been involved in supporting victims of domestic violence. Her dedication will be explored in a new ITV documentary, Her Majesty The Queen: Behind Closed Doors. A long-time advocate for the fight against domestic violence, Camilla has been captured on camera in private meetings with victims whose experiences will be revealed in the 90-minute programme.
Expert Compares Queen Camilla to Princess Diana
Chris Ship, an expert on the royal family for ITV News, compared Camilla’s work to the path that Princess Diana paved in a show called “The Royal Beat” on True Royalty TV. “Everything that Queen Camilla has done to expose the issue of domestic violence is phenomenal,” Ship said, pointing out her significant contribution to combating what is often hidden. Diana Parkes, the mother of brutally murdered Joanna Simpson, is one of the people featured in the documentary, sharing her experiences to raise public awareness.
Camilla continues the mission started by Diana
Queen Camilla and Princess Diana, although active in different times, shared similar charitable interests, especially when it came to supporting victims of domestic violence. Patrick Jephson, Diana’s private secretary, pointed out that the Princess of Wales also chose charities with which she could identify, especially those concerning people who were excluded and experiencing various problems. Queen Camilla, continuing Diana’s work, is also involved in social issues that many people prefer not to confront directly.
Camilla and Diana’s conflict. They sincerely hated each other
It is no secret that Camilla had an affair with Charles while he was still married to Diana. The ladies had reason to dislike each other. In 1989, the aristocrats allegedly had a confrontation. Diana, already knowing that her husband was cheating on her, told her rival: “Camilla, I just want to tell you that I know exactly what’s going on between you and Charles, I wasn’t born yesterday. I’m sorry to be in your way, because I certainly am and it must be hell for you, but I know what’s going on. Don’t treat me like an idiot.”
