House aides can come out from behind the sofa, as tonights Channel Four
documentary, the prematurely titled Queen Camilla, was everything they could have hoped for.
Let me say now, before anybody accuses me of pro-Camilla/Diana or
anti-Camilla/Diana sentiment: I do genuinely try to be unbiased when it comes
to writing about the so-called royal love triangle, although I fear any
comment I may make may be jumped upon to accommodate the incredibly powerful views this
particular element of royal reporting evokes in many.
However, having watched the full documentary, critics and supporters of Camilla would surely agree that this much hyped
documentary, the prematurely titled
Queen Camilla, had the feeling of an all-out sales pitch on behalf of the Prince
of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall.
Yes, there was the briefest of mentions of Camillas early life, the comment
about which much was made in the press about her allegedly being a woman of "easy virtue" coming from the Duchesss biographer,
Christopher Wilson.
However, 90% of the documentary was incredibly kind to Camilla. It could be argued that it's about time too, such is the amount of vitriol which has been aimed in her direction, the primary reason for which is that she fell in love with the wrong man?
