Handbags At 20 Paces...

Was it right for a great lady to criticise the taste of a woman from working class stock and was it wise for Coleen to hit back on Twitter?

No.
Yes

[Iluvspikey]

can't stand either of them, but I did like Coleen's retort

[society]

No
Yes

[tenrec]

Can't believe the spelling mistakes in that article. Parker-Bowels, Dutchess of Cornwall!

[Prudie]

Which one's the great lady?

[tiggerblue10]

What a brilliant non-story.

[lcg]

'a great lady'? wrong on both counts, sandy. a wrinkly, stuck up posh old aldultering bag, maybe. who the hell is she to judge anyone? if mrs rooney did or didn't spend £5m on a wedding dress, that's her business.

[craft1948]

Well said lcg.............

[anneasquith]

at least mrs.rooneys husband has a job.

[sandyRoe]

It's true Camilla's husband doesn't have gainful employment. But when he does eventually find work she'll take her place beside him as our Queen. You somehow couldn't imagine ER criticising any of her subjects either for their taste or how they choose to spend their money.
Standards are slipping even among the blue bloods.

[aelmpvw]

i'd pay to see them sort it out in the ring

[sandyRoe]

Wouldn't be right. Camillas too old.

[Baldric]

Pair of no-marks, who cares?

[joggerjayne]

Those in positions of privilege do not usually speak down to the lower classes.

That behaviour is usually reserved for the insecure middle class climbers.

Camilla should be ashamed.

As you say, sandy, ER would never say things like that. Neither would K-Middy who, of course, spent time at St Andrews with friends from all sorts of backgrounds.

[sandyRoe]

Agree, JJ. I'm sure Olive never has occassion to say of you, 'She's a snooty so and so'.

[naomi24]

What did Camilla actually say?

[joggerjayne]

Yikes! ... I hope not, sandy.

[sandyRoe]

Now, there's a question. ^ It may be that she didn't actually say any of the nasty things that are being attributed to her. But should we let the truth stand in the way of a good story?

Exactly. Why change the habit of a lifetime?

Will the modern day Mrs Simpson become Queen when Charles cops the crown? I didn't think that that was the case
