Event: The Prince of Wales & Duchess of Cornwall At Commomorative Services For The 90th Anniversary of The Battle of The Somme Location: Thiepval in Northern France Date: Saturday 1st July 2006
On
what would have been the 45th birthday of Diana, Princess of Wales, her
former husband and his new wife made a high profile appearance at
events in Northernn France in honour of the thousands of brave men who
died for King and country in the Battle of the Somme.
This was
Camilla's first appearance by Charles's side since five days earlier,
when the couple were pictured looking far from happy with each other at
a service in honour of recipients of the Victoria Cross and George
Cross at Westminster Abbey.
Although
we wouldn't expect the Prince and his wife to be laughing and joking at
such a serious and emotional event, onlookers were surprised by how
frosty the couple appeared with each other, Camilla in particular
appearing to look quite angry. Today
come claims from one of those always 'unnamed' royal sources that all
is not well in the relationship, one which has spanned over three
decades and caused some of the most sensational and damaging headlines
for the Royal Family and much personal heartache and tragedy for all
those involved, Diana included.
According to one who alleges to have witnessed recent major rows between Charles and Camilla inside their Highgrove home: "The honeymoon period is well and truly over."
Although,
as you can see from several of our images, the Duchess looked very
happy at relaxed at the Somme ceremonies, the Prince looked very glum
(although again we have to stress that he could simply have been
behaving with decorum at what was another intensely moving occasion).
