The Thriller: Camilla v. Di

~ Laura

I remember when Charles and Di got married. I didn’t wake up at 5:00am to watch the spectacle, but I had friends who did. One pathetic girl I knew even kept a scrapbook of the event.

Not many people watched Charles’s current wedding. Rottweiler

Many excellent articles this weekend poked fun at the royal family. Shooting fish in a barrel.

But I have to admit feeling a bit sorry for Camilla. All the comparisons to Diana and digs about her looks are rude and a little sexist.

So, let’s have a Di v. Camilla compare and contrast.

Brains. Di was a pea-brain. Camilla’s brains have not yet been assessed, but her choice in a mate does not bode well for her. It’s a draw.

Hair. Camilla’s hair needs a modern cut and decent hair product. (What’s with the wings?) Di’s hair was pretty large during her wedding day, as well, but it looked better later when she went much shorter. Okay, Diane wins that one.

Wedding dress. Di had that sack of a dress with all the doodads. Camilla had a dress-coat, which almost gave her a waist. Camilla wins hands down, but points off for the straw thing on her head.

Past-times. Camilla rides horses. Di purges. Camilla wins again.

So, I’ve exhausted my superficial knowledge of the royal family. I’ll take input from readers.

  1. Well, when Di got married, everyone had big hair and even bigger gowns (my British cousin who got married in the same general part of the decade totally had the frosted-wedding-cake dress thing) – it WAS the 80s. So I’m not sure how much credit we can give Camilla for having a better wedding dress.
    I do think Camilla’s much better suited to Charles than Di ever was. Not sure if that’s much of a compliment or not… And I suspect she’s smarter than Charles. Not that I think that’s much of an accomplishment, either.
    (And I can’t even believe I care enough to comment on this! That’s what you get for holding a British passport, I guess…)

  3. Or, two people who spent a long time trying to live up to other people’s conventions decide they don’t want to grow old without each other? Sorry, but all the extraneous garbage aside, it’s kind of nice.

  4. The important thing you have to remember is that Camilla Parker bowls, and that was what attracted Prince Charles to her. He loves beefy, athletic women, questionable hair notwithstanding. No, wait, her NAME is Camilla Parker-Bowles. Sorry.

  5. This strikes me as the most normal thing a member of the British royal family has done in a long time. I’m proud of Charles for not marrying some 17-year-old, which he totally could have done.
    Makes you wonder why these two didn’t just get married in the first place, 30-some years ago?

  6. They didn’t get married 30 years ago because Camilla is not true blue. Her father was in trade . Scuttlebut has it the Queen Mother was dead set against Camilla. The old biddy finally died a couple years ago at 101. Charles must be wondering whether his mum will last that long.
