Queen Mother Rules Against Prince Charles’ Mistress

The Queen Mother has dashed Prince Charles’ hopes of easing his mistress into public life, a newspaper reported Sunday.

Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother - Charles’ grandmother - has twice refused Charles’ requests to bring Camilla Parker Bowles to official functions at her residences, the Sunday Express quoted an unidentified senior royal adviser as saying.

The Queen Mother sets family policy on such matters, the newspaper said.

“The British people would never accept a divorced king and queen.

” It would divide the country,” the royal adviser quoted the 95-year-old Queen Mother as saying.
