Camilla: Her True Story

Rating:
Summary: An inside look at an interesting woman
Review: Camilla is a mystery in a many ways - her name is well known, but, not all that much is known about what she is really like. This book give a satisfying look at the woman who was the third party in the marriage of the Prince and Princess of Wales. Not always flattering, but, always fascinating, it tells the story of Camilla's life in a manner that shouldn't offend any die hard Diana fans (I am one). It left me wanting to know more about her, satified my desire for trivial details and left me with some admiration on this easy to dislike woman. After all, she and Charles have had a relationship for far longer than most marriages last, and, when all is said and done, he has a right to be happy. The whole saga of Charles, Diana and Camilla is a lesson to the world on marrying for the right reasons and the need to be clear on motives and motivations.

Summary: What is the decency of this author?
Review: She will justify anything coming from Camilla and Charles, gossiping like Lady Campbell and attribute every single fault to Diana. Where is your moral? Camilla was pestering this couple for all these years, insincere in wanting their best. Why she didn't get a life ? Leave the poor couple to live peacefully? She really stole another woman's husband. I imagine how much Camilla is paying to this wretched author to write this sordid book. Diana should have sent or hire someone to eliminate this bothering woman in the first place. This will put her in her right place. But Diana was decent in just getting out of this sham marriage instead of persisting it despite all the privileges of royal life. She was being far more honest in wanting to terminate it than many women who will stay in this sordid marriage just for the food.

Summary: Update of an older book
Review: This is just an update of an earler Caroline Graham book, The King's Mistress. I dont beleive that the author was being very objective in her treatment of the subject matter. The late princess Diana is not portrayed in a good light, whilst Camilla is seen as just a woman in love. She comes across as so very caring, kind, giving and loving, its a wonder her own ex-husband didn't hold on to her. Overall though, the book is well written and does give some insight into the woman who may or may not be queen.
