No matter how hard she tries, Camilla Parker Bowles just can’t get any respect these days. New reports indicate that Camilla is once again feeling downright embarrassed over a cartoon depicting her as a fairy godmother.
The Duchess of Cornwall might not like it, but she got the fairy godmother treatment in a new animated clip for the 500 Words contest that was sponsored by BBC Radio 2. The competition encourages young children from the ages of 5 to 13 to compete in a fiction contest. The contest opens this week and runs until February 23. Winners will be invited to the Tower of London for a special live broadcast with Chris Evans on his BBC breakfast show.
Some media reports have even poked fun at Camilla and the clip by saying, “Bibbidi-bobbidi Camilla!” Even though Camilla is a honorary judge for the literary festival, she didn’t expect to see a cartoon version of herself promote the contest. Some critics say that the godmother in the clip looks nothing like the real Camilla.
Sure, Camilla Parker Bowles wants to be more respected by the public. She doesn’t get as much media coverage as Kate Middleton, Prince William, and Prince Harry do. Yet, her husband Prince Charles will one day be the King of England. She doesn’t want animated cartoons depicting her as a fairy godmother.
Of course, this isn’t the first time Camilla Parker Bowles has been made fun of in public. Back in December, critics slammed her disastrous Christmas card with Prince Charles. There were even reports indicating that both Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles suffer with severe social anxiety because they allegedly ‘stink’ in public. And then there’s the fact that many critics have long compared Camilla to Princess Diana and her timeless beauty.
No matter how hard Camilla has tried to win over the public, she just can’t catch a break. Some royal fans say it’s because critics can’t forgive Camilla for being the third person in Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s marriage. Some even say that Camilla will never be able to fill Diana’s shoes because of her past cheating and affair allegations.
