The Duchess Of Cornwall Visits Camberwell Haven - Zimbio

Camilla visiting a center where children and young people who suffered sexual abuse are being treated.

https://www.thehavens.org.uk/about-us/

QuoteWe are a network of specialist sexual assault referral centres (SARCs) located across London and open 24/7. Our three centres work closely together to ensure that the same level of service is provided wherever a victim of sexual assault presents.

By providing a good, immediate service, we can reduce the risk of long-term problems as well as preventing the loss of evidence, which is crucial if rapists are to be convicted and prevented from committing further assaults.

We are centres of excellence and our work is internationally recognised as gold standard in the field. Since opening in 2000, we have welcomed more than 20,000 people for specialist care after rape or sexual assault

Afterwards she visited the Metropolitan Police to view the TecSOS system that alerts the police to domestic violence crimes.

Prince of Wales attends King Charles I exhibition | Daily Mail Online

QuotePrince Charles no doubt felt a certain sense of the familiar this evening as he attended the Charles I: King and Collector exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in London.

The royal, 69, was given a private tour of the exhibition by curators Desmond Shawe-Taylor and Per Rumberg and paused in front of a portrait of the king himself painted by Anthony van Dyck in 1633.

Charles I was born in Fife, Scotland, on November 19 1600 and became king when he was 24 years old but his conflicts with parliament led to a civil war.

An ancestor to forget perhaps? :hehe:

But the Stuarts lacked the dignity, clarity and focus of the Tudors. That is what brought them down in the end. People could tolerate James but Charles was just getting way above himself. Elizabeth I had already shown them that it was quite possible to execute Scottish monarchs if they became trouble so they already had their trial run with Mary Stuart.

He's not an ancestor of Charles. His sister Elizabeth Stuart is. Diana descends from Charles I and so do William and Harry. They have Charles I in their bloodlines via James II and Charles II.   The Tudors monarchs reigns died with Elizabeth I, although the current royals descend from Henry VIII's sisters Mary and Margaret.

TLLK

Descendants of Charles I of England - Wikipedia QEII is a relative but not a descendant.

QuoteMany of today's European royalty can claim descent from Charles, such as Juan Carlos I of Spain, Franz, Duke of Bavaria, Philippe of Belgium, Henri, Grand Duke of Luxembourg and the late Otto von Habsburg and many are related to him via collateral bloodlines, such as Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and Margrethe II of Denmark. He is also the ancestor of Diana, Princess of Wales, mother of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry who are second and fifth in line to the Succession to the British throne after their father Charles, Prince of Wales.

Yes, royal, I agree about the Stuarts. They were an ill-starred lot. On the whole they did not make good rulers, at least in their later manifestations, James I -timid, swayed by male favourites, corrupt in the selling of peerages, Charles I- doomed, intransigent, with poor judgement, Charles II- in the pay of the French monarchy, rather dissolute. Mary Queen of Scots had the worst judgement of the lot. Practically every decision she made as monarch of Scotland was the wrong one.

sandy

The last of the Stuarts had tragic lives. Queen Mary II married a man (King William) who did not really love her and had a mistress--Mary miscarried the only child conceived of the marriage. Queen Anne had many many miscarriages and children who died in infancy. Her only child to survive infancy was the Duke of Gloucester who was ill during his life and died young, predeceased his mother. The German Georges were next in line. Mary Queen of Scots had self destructive behavior, the last straw was her marrying Bothwell who was rumored to have arranged the assassination of Lord Darnley.

Dumping plastic items in the world's beautiful oceans is so wrong. It's heartbreaking that fish and sea mammals have to put up with the pollution of their homes in that way. It's just so wrong!

Charles is always frustrated about something but never really does more than make speeches.

^^^It's for seniors @Duch_Luver_4ever. You can rest easy because the Royal Ballet's current patron is still QEII. :wink: English National Ballet is the DoY's patronage.

The senior thing is part of the visit, shes also seeing staff and students, the age of the dancers doesnt really matter, although she gets a bit of a bye in that its the whole seniors staying active, but you know how her stepping into Diana's alleys makes me feel...a rare un-grey part of my postings.

I think she should have not gotten involved with the ballet patronages. There are others out there that don't have reminders of Diana.

I think C and C should stay away from talk shows and avoid possible embarrassing photo ops.

Kritter

But @sandy  they are so popular that they need all these PR stunts to make people notice. To bad the only ones that ever care are the same ones who care simply because of their title.

Charles always wanted to be the POW who was remembered for something & he will be.   :lol:  To bad it is won't be for something good.
