Queen Elizabeth is concerned with Camilla Parker-Bowles’ plans to host a huge street party. Reports say that the Duchess of Cornwall is looking to throw a big get together to encourage the public to get to know their neighbors and community leaders a little bit better.
Camilla is hosting The Great Get Together event in partnership with The Big Lunch. The organizations wan to encourage people to get together with their friends and family across the U.K. It’s also going to be one of the largest celebrations seen since the Queen’s diamond jubilee. And Camilla is planning to be front and center.
Yet one of the reasons Queen Elizabeth is so concerned about Camilla Parker-Bowles hosting the event is because she knows all too well what kind of person she is at parties. After all, Camilla has a wild past. She loves to be the center of attention and used to have a reputation of being quite flirty during her youth, too. In fact, even Kate Middleton thinks Camilla is a huge flirt as she always makes a beeline with her father Michael Middleton whenever he’s around according to various reports.
That’s why many are worried that Camilla might end up humiliating herself and the royal family with her behavior at the party. The last thing Queen Elizabeth or Prince Charles want to see are more negative headlines about Camilla in the press. And if she does end up flirting with someone, that might send the media in a tailspin.
Then again, Camilla Parker-Bowles is trying to soften her public image. She wants to be seen as more approachable in public. That’s why she’s doing more hands-on work and royal engagements. She believes that this street party is a great opportunity to show the public who she really is. Camilla is tired of everyone constantly reminding her that she was the ‘other woman’ who apparently destroyed Prince Charles’ marriage to Princess Diana.
Plus, Prince Charles is going to be King of England soon. That means that all eyes are going to be on Camilla. Up until now, she’s always been in Kate Middleton’s shadow. But with Charles in charge of the throne, Camilla knows that everything will change and that’s why she’s stepping up to the plate now more than ever before.
Still, Queen Elizabeth believes she has every reason to be concerned about Camilla. What do you think? Drop us a line with your thoughts in our comments section below. Also, check back with CDL for all the latest news and updates on the royal family right here.
