British Tabs Can’t Forgive Charles For Being Human
Prince Charles better start revving up his publicity machine in support of his longtime love Camilla Parker-Bowles.
Apparently, the couple has been spending “secret overnight visits” at his St. James’s Palace residence.
And the tabloids aren’t being very discreet about it. “Camilla Sleeps at the Palace,” ran the headline in the Sun, which noted that Parker-Bowles is keeping some clothes there.
The Daily Mail reports that Parker-Bowles has been spending up to three nights a month at the palace, although never when Princes William and Harry are there.
While the Sun says Parker-Bowles’ visits are a “talking point in royal circles,” a royal spokesman declined comment, saying that Charles’ “domestic arrangements are private, and we do not discuss them.”
