Charles and Camilla news and photos II

[JessicaM]

It might sound paradoxical, but I am glad that we have abolished royalty in Germany (which might have to do with negative experiences), but I am still interested and curious about royalties in Europe

As you I am very fond of Camilla and have much admiration for her.

I am the same .

I am interested in other royal families but would be against having a monarchy in Germany. I love historic jewellery and royal history so that is my prime interest in royalty. And I find it fascinating that royals still exist and am curious enough about their lifes to follow them (not on a daily basis but I try to keep up-to-date).

And I also like Camilla.

I thought all royals had them?

They're trying to "modernize."  I think it's silly to do away with some of these traditions.

Oh yes, I totally agree, I like following other royal houses but I'm glad we abolished them. I find the regional differences within Germany fascinating as they have deep historical roots, but the political system today suits me better than a monarchy.

Mary used to have one (they served a dual role) so I'm sure she still does:

Diana had several over the years, including at one point her sister, Sarah. The one I remember the most is Anne Beckwith-Smith:

I remember at the beginning the rumor was Catherine wanted Pippa to be her lady in waiting. I think that actually be a good idea.

Anne Beckwith-Smith was lady in waiting for the entirety of Diana's "career" is PoW.  I hope very much that she writes a memoir one day, but I don't think she will.  She seems to come from a multi-generationally-connected family who has provided royal household members for generations.  They don't talk.
