Queen Camilla slipped away to India solo for a 10-day holistic rejuvenation

Ever since Queen Elizabeth II passed away, the vibe has been off/different with the new queen consort, Camilla. The first weeks were obviously all about King Charles – and bizarrely also about Prince Harry – and I thought Camilla was making an effort to tread lightly on purpose, to slink into the background, to not draw attention to herself. After all, she “won,” but at what cost? She’s still very unpopular and people are not jazzed about calling her “Queen Camilla.” But as the weeks went on, it does feel notable that Camilla isn’t doing much of anything. She’s not part of the coronation committee, she’s not taking on any of QEII’s old patronages (yet, I suppose), she’s not pushing some big “love me, I’m your queen” agenda. And then this: as it turns out, Camilla traveled to India by herself to go to a wellness center for what I can only assume is some holistic cosmetic work.

Queen Camilla has traveled across the world for some rejuvenation. The wife of King Charles is staying at a holistic health center near Bangalore, India, where she and some friends are reportedly taking in a bit of wellness therapy.

The Queen Consort, 75, headed to the Soukya center after landing in Bangalore on Friday with some friends and protection officers, the Times of India reported.

Meditation, homeopathy, yoga, therapy and an ancient traditional system of medicine known as Ayurveda are available at Soukya, headed by Dr. Isaac Mathai. The residential medical institute bills itself as the world’s first integrative health destination and focuses on “healing, prevention or rejuvenation,” according to its website.

Camilla has been a regular attendee over the years, sometimes heading there en route to an overseas tour with King Charles. That is not the case this time, but she likely factored in the vacation a long time ago. Buckingham Palace had no comment when contacted about the break.

Camilla is staying at the retreat for ten days, according to the Times of India. Meanwhile, Charles was staying at the royal family’s Sandringham estate over the weekend. He will likely head back to London early this week to appoint the new prime minister after Liz Truss announced her resignation after being appointed on Sept. 6 by the late Queen Elizabeth.

[From People]

It’s more than possible that Camilla genuinely felt like a two-week rejuvenation holiday and nothing shady is going on. She did have a broken toe in September, and she has a family history of osteoporosis (and osteoarthritis, I would imagine). Maybe she truly needed some rest and relaxation. But it definitely feels weird that she just disappeared from England, flew all the way to India and checked into a wellness center just to…get some holistic treatment?

The idea that Camilla would get some pre-Christmas cosmetic surgery is kind of weird too – clearly, she’s fine with her age and she’s fine with looking her age. I guess we’ll know in a few weeks if and when Camilla returns and she suddenly looks as tucked and sucked as Brad Pitt. Another possibility is that the old winebag needed to be dried out??

    Homeopathy is a load of crap but good on her for taking a break.

    • C says:

      A break from what? Lol.

      • Pointillist says:

        True lmao

      • MissMarirose says:

        A break from her idiot in-laws, for one. And a break from the British press. It’s probably for the best that she lay low and let others in the family mess up this honeymoon period. Her turn will come soon enough.

      • C says:

        Lol. Her in-laws, and the press, are much much deserved. And let’s not pretend they aren’t all doing what they can to curry favor with her and Charles, they finally nabbed the top spots.

      • CocofromCanada says:

        Rehab?

      • Jumpingthesnark says:

        There are plenty of luxe spas in GBR if she had just wanted a spa cation. So I tend to think it’s rehab.

    • Beenie says:

      I immediately rolled my eyes when I read homeopathic treatment is provided.

      • Kassia says:

        Recently learned that for years homeopathy was something French govt would pay for as healthcare for years, so many French people see it as legit. Maybe the belief spread across the channel?

      • AnnaKist says:

        My first thought was, “Is that code for *cosmetic enhancement*?” Will be interesting to see what she looks like when she gets back home. God, I am just too cynical even for my own good. 🤦🏻‍♀️

      • TeamAwesome says:

        The Windsors are quite famously huge fans of homeopathic treatment, passed down from the Queen Mother.

    • Tessa says:

      She and other royal family members do not have heavy work schedules. She also has people waiting on her.

    • Bettyrose says:

      Might be crap for curing diseases but it can be relaxing and restorative. I’m envious.

    • sparrow says:

      Yes, I can see the break bit being nice. But like Pointillist says, homeopathy is quackery, despite Charles spending years trying to get mainstream clinicians to use it instead of conventional medicine. Short story – I met a woman when I was out walking the dogs. She was relentless in telling me how wonderful homeopathy is and how she’s never been so calm in her whole life. I don’t even know how she got the topic into conversation and I certainly wasn’t saying anything about it in case I offended her and made her even more heated. She then tried to give me her therapist’s card. When I said thanks but no thanks she flew into the biggest shouting rage, witnessed by other shocked people. So much for calm. Maybe that’s why Charles flies off the handle when a pen doesn’t work.

  2. Becks1 says:

    It says she’s been a regular attendee at this center over the years, so it sounds like she either had this trip planned before the Queen passed or decided “sh!t I’m going to need a rest after dealing with leaky pen tantrums” and went before the Remembrance and holiday events start. I really doubt its for plastic surgery, but I guess we’ll see when she comes back.

    • ThatsNotOkay says:

      This. Charles is a tyrant behind the scenes—he’s reverted to petulance, acting like a spoiled brat needing mummy’s intervention and Camilla is over it already. She didn’t want this and she doesn’t want to have to raise Charles. She has her own kids. That’s why she has her own home and only stays in the same house as Charles a few times a week if that. Each can have affairs in their respective homes in private—that was the deal. With the added bonus that Camilla does not have to bear the brunt of all of Charles’s waffling and foot stomping. Spread that shit around to others.

      • Tessa says:

        If Camilla did not want this she should have exited the scene when Charles and Diana got engaged. I think she always liked the perks and influence. She has raymill and is not forced to work more. I don’t feel sorry for her

      • Bettyrose says:

        Camilla wanted it all: the sexy husband all the women were lusting for and the adoration of the Prince. Plus horses and booze and country parties with only the most elite guests. And what? She got it all. Now she’s doing ten day retreats overseas while Britain is in political and economic free fall, and Charles has ascended the throne amid a crumbling monarchy. You gotta respect her game.

    • Lizzie Bathory says:

      I also doubt it’s plastic surgery. I looked the place up–it looks legit & uses Western medicine as well as Ayurveda to treat a range of health issues. Camilla’s health hasn’t always been great. I imagine the stress of being in public with Charles so much after the Queen’s death didn’t help. Makes you wonder how she’ll be able to manage this new role.

    • Nic919 says:

      If Camilla has gone there before, then I am inclined to believe that this is really a retreat and people can debate whether or not the cost is justified.

      She clearly never jacked her face prior to now, unlike some of her in-laws, so it’s unlikely she would start at 75. Aging naturally should be more accepted anyway.

    • Sugarhere says:

      We are unanimously thrilled that Camilla was able to renew her stock of ayurvedic suppositories, but unless she flew to India to return the Koh-i-Noor in person, her detox spree is of no interest.

  3. Size Does Matter says:

    If she comes back raving about purple potatoes we will all know the truth.

  4. Jan90067 says:

    Wonder if this a “private” trip (ie: SHE pays), or it’s billed to the British taxpayer? Also, how did she fly there? Private, I assume? Where’s the screaming about how her husband hypocritically preaches about the environment and conservation, like they do when Meghan (and Harry) flies anywhere?

    • Sarah says:

      Even if it was paid for ‘privately’, who is paying the wages of the protection offices and all the staff who are on the payroll wherever she is/whatever she’s doing.

      We’re coming into a really interesting time. We’re so used this to queen spending summer in Balmoral but other than that only travelling for ‘work’ (while she still did that) that the idea of this queen jetting off for a jolly feels weird. Just wait until Willnot Kannot get into the hot seats (assuming he hasn’t switched her for someone else by then). The monarchy is in trouble and I am very much here for it.

  5. Louise177 says:

    I really doubt she’s getting plastic surgery. Camilla hasn’t in the past so it really doesn’t make sense to do it now. More likely just a a vacation. Partly because of the stress after the Queen dying but also to prepare for what’s ahead.

    • Tessa says:

      Smoking and overexposure to the sun damaged her complexion. I doubt plastic surgery would help

      • Tigerlily says:

        @Tessa maybe not surgery but I think a deep peel would improve her complexion. That would take time to heal though and probably a bit painful. She’s never seemed concerned about her looks.

    • DK says:

      She’s just getting in the right (calm, mindful, at peace) headspace to prep for when The Crown season 5 airs next week. LOL

      (But seriously, I bet she’s glad to be away from Charles right now, when all he can do is obsess over The Crown and ignore the dumpster fire his country has gotten itself into…)

    • Lorelei says:

      @Louise, it’s true, she’s never seemed to mind aging naturally— but maybe now that there’s going to be a much larger spotlight on her— she’ll be more visible and photographed a lot more — she wants to, uh, spruce herself up a little? She and Kate are probably both off getting their faces done together.

      Also, the AUDACITY of this woman to go to India *right in the middle* of the conflict about the Koh-I-Noor…she could afford to go anywhere in the world, but chooses to go to the one country that very specifically has a problem with her right now? What is wrong with these people?

  6. NotIt says:

    Being that India and the UK are close, I believe she could just be going for wellness. Meditation, fasting, coming into focus – these are real thinks that people do. Camilla doesn’t look like a lady who gets work done. Especially if it’s the same center she’s gone to for years.

  7. MY3CENTS says:

    I was hoping she secretly returned the Kohinoor diamond back to India.

    • equality says:

      Maybe she went to convince somebody that she should absolutely be allowed to wear it.

    • Jasper says:

      You beat me to it! That is precisely what I was thinking – that two weeks later we’d see a picture of the secret hand off of the Kohinoor, and possibly other jewels which were raided.
      Guess I was sadly wrong.

  8. Mooney says:

    My country 😩we deserve better than Camilla visiting us. Homeopathy is not bad btw. If it’s not effective,at least it doesn’t have side effects lol. Ayurveda however is a blessing to the mankind.

    Don’t mind me though, just being biased a little because my dad has homeopathy medicine business.

    • Enis says:

      It can be incredibly dangerous because people use it in place of actual, science based medicine. In addition, the World Health Organization warned in 2009 that many homeopathic products had major safety issues.

      I highly suggest looking up the site “Homeowatch” which is put on by Dr. Stephen Barrett, an award winning doctor and researcher who has been studying these issues since the 1970’s.

      • Kassia says:

        It’s especially bad when parents do it on their kids 🙁

      • TikiChica says:

        @sarah, there was nothing to “take out” of homeopathy. It is literally (and I am using the word correctly) just water.

      • sparrow says:

        Sarah. That is incredibly rude. To claim someone disagrees with your opinion because of what you assume is their age? I agree with TikiChica. It’s water, in expensive bottles. And please this is nothing to do with my age but more to do with being the daughter of a biochemist.

    • OriginalLaLa says:

      Homeopathy is dangerous because it’s marketed as “medicine” intended to “cure” – it is neither of those things.

      Personal anecdote: my friend was diagnosed with breast cancer, she was woo’ed by a homeopath with the promise of a “natural cure” without the sickness or baldness of chemo. Because she was young, she didn’t want to look sick or go bald, so she did homeopathy instead and died of a cancer that was caught early and would have been curable. I’ll never forgive the homeopathic quack for killing my friend.

      • sparrow says:

        Agree with you completely, OriginalLaLa. See my comment above under Pointillist’s. Homeopathy is not just quackery but dangerous, sold to people with more money than sense, and also the vulnerable like your friend. Charles was famous for writing letters to prime ministers about all sorts of stupid causes, one of which was trying to get NHS clinicians and GPs to recommend homeopathy instead of mainstream treatment. This history of meddling is why he recently committed to being a more “neutral” minded king. He is well known for being an out of his depth expert on all sorts of stuff.

    • Delphine says:

      Homeopathy should only be used as an adjunct treatment. It shouldn’t replace medical care. I’m so sorry about your friend.

  9. Scorpion says:

    Why can’t BP comment? Camilla is publicly funded, she’s never had a job always hopping from man to man.

  10. Harper says:

    Wouldn’t she go to Switzerland or something for her plastic surgery? I thought that’s where the fancy peeps went for discreet medical procedures. Anyway, after seeing C-Rex combust over pens, I can understand why Cams would do an annual escape that is very very very far away from the Windsor stress.

    • Athena says:

      A lot of people go to Turkey for plastic surgery

      • Kassia says:

        I thought rich people only do it in western countries or Korea though. Isn’t turkey (like Brazil) for middle class peoples surgeries and dental work. And I know India has a surrogacy industry, hadn’t heard about the plastic surgery options there

      • Lady D says:

        In BC, people go to Mexico for cheap professional dental work.

      • Jaded says:

        Mexico and Brazil have amazing plastic/cosmetic surgeons and have for decades. Most wealthy women there have it as often as getting regular dental and medical check-ups.

      • Concern Fae says:

        Apparently there are many doctors there who specialize in hair transplants. Who knew?

  11. Tessa says:

    The so called fab four will probably be doing a lot if slipping away to vacations

    • SueBarbri33 says:

      Yep, 3 out of the 4 members of the Fab Four are on vacation at the moment. And Charles only came back today to take a picture with the new PM.

      • BeanieBean says:

        Yeah, how about that? Is this their version of ‘begin as you intend to continue’? Annual October breaks to someplace sunny & warm? I expect the same thing in February, too.

      • Lorelei says:

        It’s fcking AMAZING to me that the mourning period just ended and these four (well, at least W&K and Camilla) are already all off on vacations?? Seriously?
        This is a time when they should be working their asses off to meet as many people as possible, travel around the UK, begin implementing some of Charles’s key agenda items, etc. etc. They are, as usual, their own worst enemies.

  12. Aken says:

    So… Camilla can go to India for wellness, rejuvenation and THERAPY but a pregnant, suicidal Meghan couldn’t get inpatient mental health care because they were afraid of how the institution would look?! I’m sorry but it’s gross negligence at this point. If I was Harry I would NEVER forgive it.

    • SussexWatcher says:

      This was my exact thought as well. Interesting how some royals can jet off for rest and rejuvenation (even when they have one of the lightest workloads) – and not one single peep from the usual suspects about vacations or flying private or costs to the taxpayers – while Meghan was denied help and support of any kind by that family. They’re vile.

    • Billie says:

      Harry got therapy for 7 years, encouraged by William so HE could have got it for his wife!

      • Tessa says:

        Ironic that William told harry to get help when Wil liam appears to have some anger issues and actively worked against harry and his wife. Harry cannot choose a person who could counsel Meghan it is up to the person who seeks counseling to choose the one most suitable to her own needs.

      • Tessa says:

        Harry chose his own counselor not William william would have been well served to get counseling himself

  13. Athena says:

    I’m with Kaiser, I think she’s drying out. The full weight of her sins finally caught up with her.

    I just felt a wave of nostalgia, Diana would have made a wonderful queen had things worked out differently.

    • lanne says:

      Not with this crew, she wouldn’t. TPTB would be doing everything they could to undermine Diana’s influence, even at the expense of the monarchy itself. That’s the level of pettiness and jealousy of these people.

      Camilla is stuck with Charles, no-exit style. She won’t likely be able to get away to her own house as often. The Funeral Four are stuck with each other. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving group of people!

  14. Mslove says:

    I agree Kaiser, it’s weird. Couldn’t she get holistic work done at home? IDK. It’s sus.

    • TikiChica says:

      Also, where was I that I read that she absolutely detests flying?

      • Mslove says:

        It’s also been said that Camilla has an aversion to trains.

      • Jaded says:

        Apparently she gets serious vertigo and motion sickness when she flies. Takes a few days for her to get over it.

      • BeanieBean says:

        So she ‘needs’ a couple of weeks in India because she has vertigo? And couldn’t get her Ayurvedic vacation anywhere else in the world, say closer to home? I think if flying were that tough for me, I’d be looking at other options.

      • Lorelei says:

        @Tikichica, how convenient that her fear of flying magically evaporates when she wants to go to a luxury spa!

    • Gabby says:

      I think she wanted to get as far away from Charles as possible. Other side of the world? Check.

  15. Tina Loman says:

    She’ll be back to the hard work of greeting visitors at Clarence House twice a week and actually going out three times a month to greet the plebs like her. I tell you it’s hard work. If she does one meeting to promote some good work people will give her a great deal of credit with no follow up. I don’t mind if they take a vacation. I mind that the country is in a free fall because of Brexit. King Charles has two duchies, one for private use. Balmoral and Sandringham should be taken care of privately with the money they have already taken. Prince William shouldn’t have a duchy. The Duchy of Cornwall should go back to the country. He’s barely done any work until H&M. There should be one duchy and security costs should be determined by a bipartisan group. Queen Elizabeth’s ex crony should be kicked out of RAVEC. They all should. The country can’t afford to give them expensive lifestyles while children can’t eat.

  16. equality says:

    Maybe she put her foot down and said if Kate can get the POW and QC title without having to put in long hours, I can also.

    • Tessa says:

      Camilla has lower work numbers than other working family members. Kate is the laziest and will no powerhouse in the work dept.

  17. Julia K says:

    I wonder if she over used alcohol to deal with the stresses of the last few weeks. That and too many smokes. The last sentence of the post is probably right on; she’s using this pre planned vacation for drying out and cleansing.

  18. EasternViolet says:

    In some part of the conversation, this is about the backlash she and KC3 have received about the Koh-i-Noor. If she was having a spa week, why India? Why not something closer, like Switzerland? This is also making her look like she values India in some way… gets her in the news associated with India, other than “She is going to wear a stolen diamond” during the coronation.

    • Becks1 says:

      It says she’s gone to this same place a few times before in the past, so I’m not sure its directly related to the Koh-i-Noor. Her brother also did a lot of work in India (relating to conservation and elephants) so from that perspective its not as random as it might sound.

      so I would say that the fact that this information was released is probably a PR move in a “see we love India” kind of way – but not the visit itself.

      • EasternViolet says:

        yes! a two birds with one stone type of thing!

      • Lorelei says:

        @Becks, if I was Indian, I think I would find it offensive that she’d come for spa treatments right now while ignoring the Koh-i-Noor brouhaha— it feels like taunting, almost?

      • Becks1 says:

        @Lorelei I agree it seems that way, but I honestly don’t think she meant it that way. and I don’t mean that in a “camilla is a good person” kind of way, I mean it in a “it did not cross her mind” kind of way. Camilla wants to go to this spa place, where she has been before, so she is going to go. She doesn’t care about anything beyond that.

        I think that we, as normal people, probably really underestimate the sheer entitlement that the royals have and the lack of care/concern they have for what’s going on around them.

  19. Jess says:

    I dislike the BRF but being a public figure with such a high profile is emotionally draining. I couldn’t do it. I could see me needing this if I were in her position.

    The Wales’ went on vacation too so why wouldn’t she.

    • Kassia says:

      Me too. I would find one public thing a week feeling like a full time job. I love space and don’t like to be centre of attention

      • C says:

        I absolutely hate it being center of attention, have crippling social anxiety, stay home as much as I can.
        For their lifestyle? Oh, I could suck it up.
        People are going to be choosing between heat and food this winter and she’s spending their money on a homeopathic vacation to country that she’s obviously very proud her own country colonized. I have no sympathy, lol.

  20. ME says:

    I hope while she was in India, she took some time to do some charity work. I know the people working at those wellness centers probably get paid sh*t for the work they do. India is known for cheap labor. I’ve been many times and I can tell you the poverty there never gets easier to see. It’s horrible. But I’m sure she’s in luxury and far from seeing any “poor” people. Her country helped create the mess that is in India to this day. How does she feel about that?

    • Lorelei says:

      LOL. (Not at you, @Me, but at the thought that this would occur to Camilla during her spa vacay)

  21. Amy Bee says:

    Where’s the outrage? I seem to remember when Harry took any trip out of the country, the press demanded to know when and where he went and weren’t they outraged when he and Meghan went to Nice?

  22. Lucy says:

    I thought she had vertigo that made flights difficult? Or is that someone else I’m mixing her up with. I swear she had vertigo or extreme motion sickness and it made overseas tours really hard on her. I don’t know who I’d be confusing her with though.

    • Becks1 says:

      No, she does have vertigo, so she builds in an extra day or two when traveling for a tour to recover and adjust before the tour officially starts. It’s why a lot of times she and charles travel separately, or why she doesn’t go on some of the shorter tours bc I just don’t think its considered worth it for her to attend. My guess though is that since this is a vacation to a healing center, she doesn’t need that extra day, since she’s not going to be working, so she can recover from the vertigo at the center.

  23. Stef says:

    Queen Consort needs some rest and rejuvenation before the Crown drops in a few weeks. The younger generations will finally get to see who this disgusting woman was in the 70s, 80’s and 90’s.

    Her karma is both earned and deserved.

  24. Hana says:

    There are rumours in the UK that Charles has been having an affair for at least a year with a younger gardener-aristocrat who redid his gardens. Maybe it’s projection but whenever I see Camilla in public she doesn’t look happy.

    • Truthiness says:

      Are the rumors anywhere in the vicinity of Dominick West’s wife Catherine Fitzgerald? She’s a gardening aristo that has a newish friendship with Charles. I find him too hobbity and spoiled but other people’s mileage may vary.

      • CourtneyB says:

        And Dominic west is portraying Charles in The Crown.

      • Hana says:

        Yes that’s what I heard! Weirdly Catherine Fitzgerald looks a bit like a young Camilla — same blow out hair style with a big fringe…

    • MsIam says:

      “Rumors of Charles having an affair?” Yeeks, talking about riding an old horse! And what happened to “true lurv fulfilled”? I guess that saying about old dogs and new tricks is true, at least for them. I wonder if Camilla has a new bed warmer too?

      • sparrow says:

        I’m amazed, too. I’d never thought of it or heard about it. I got the impression these two were like an old pair of slippers, brought together by shared humour, awful behaviour towards their spouses, and life long love. Obviously, I’ve been taken in by the official line and am totally gullible. Then again, I’d never heard of the banker or lawyer in William’s life until I got on here and someone explained what that was about. Bloody hell. Charles and the gardener – it’s like a reverse Lady Chatterley’s lover.

    • equality says:

      Well, if he is maybe she is meeting her “friend” at the spa.

    • Lorelei says:

      @Hana: !!!! I haven’t heard any of these rumors about Charles, but what sweet karma it would be if they were true.

      Not that I necessarily think Camilla would care all that much— she seems to go off and do her own thing with her kids at Raymill a lot of the time anyway —but if it became public? Chaz would be screwed (no pun intended, I swear) and he’s less than two months in! Imagine going through with the coronation if there are rumors that he is currently engaging in adultery?

      This man can truly be counted on to fck ANYTHING up.

    • C says:

      He was never faithful to her even from the beginning and she knew, so what difference does it make? She got the job of Queen Consort for better or worse.

      • Tessa says:

        I recall some years ago Charles was friendly with Elizabeth Buchanan a courtier. Camilla apparently had her dismissed

      • C says:

        Well, she always managed his personal affairs didn’t she? Picking and choosing who he slept with and married, who he slept with *in* his marriage, creating factionalism about it, doing what she could to dispel anyone she thought was a threat – how to outmistress the mistresses and outwife the wife.
        They’re already two of the most famous adulterers in the world so I don’t see why any “cheating” rumors would make anyone care imo, lol.

  25. D says:

    They do treat cirrhosis and addictions…just saying.

  26. phlyfiremama says:

    Yeah, she’s getting some work done. Surely she notices how she actually looks?? She needs the work!!

  27. Carrie says:

    and if Meghan attended such a centre they would attribute it to her being from LA and into woke, alternative therapies.

  28. Pam says:

    OMG…your last sentence. That was the FIRST thing I thought of. Perhaps she’s in rehab. Hopefully, though, it’s just a respite for her to recharge her batteries before they embark on the Commonwealth tour.

  29. Jay says:

    I think this is just part of her deal – she wants to maintain the rich lady lifestyle she always has, with plenty of space and time away from Charles. There’s a reason why she has maintained her own estate. I truly believe that the “Queen Camilla” thing is important to Charles, but not so much for her. She’s clearly not itching to be doing any more in terms of royal outings and engagements than she has ever done.

    • Tessa says:

      I think both Camilla and Kate like their new titles and perks and tiaras and bling. I never bought into the Camilla never wanted anything spin. And Kate was quick to be seen wearing queens jewelry

    India, of all places. I hope she’s there to return the diamonds and other treasures looted from India. Oh, it’s all about her and her rejuvenation (pretty sure that’s not possible anyway).

  32. sparrow says:

    Another load of flight tickets plus security costs for a jaunt to a wellness centre. This is shameful. And it’s not the first time this woman has charged the public purse for her getaways, going by what the article says. Factor in the carbon emissions and you’ve got a whole lot of wasted money and fake eco concern. The price of security at a separate house from her husband’s is bad enough.

  33. jferber says:

    Is this Brit-speak for face lift?

    • sparrow says:

      Ha ha! Love that. It’s more like international-speak for lazy cow who takes any money she can get to jet off from a country in peril. (That face is beyond lifting.)

  34. QuiteContrary says:

    Rehab and detox seem most likely to me. She looks almost pickled.
    I’m sure her liver is.

      Back in my day (Camilla is about 10 years older than me), India was the place to go for drug and alcohol rehab for Brits. Switzerland was for cosmetic surgery.

      Also, homeopathy has a place as an adjunct to conventional medicine. I went to a naturopathic college once for some problems and a homeopathic treatment set me right. It is great to alleviate symptoms. And, it was never presented to me as an alternative but rather a complement to Western medicine. The practitioner referred me to an MD for food allergy testing and, sure enough, that’s what it was (something my conventional doctors had missed)!

    I am 61. I have never taken a trip to anywhere for 10 days.
    The BRF is really getting on my nerves with their entitled BS lifestyle.
    The majority of working people are under huge stress trying to make ends meet and this bunch of tourist attraction, over paid, and under worked jokers are going on vacation left and right.

    Read.the.room. Clueless fools.

    • sparrow says:

      Exactly. It’s the people who struggled through the pandemic and now find themselves stuck in a cost of living crisis who deserve a holiday. The RF is so out of touch. I think Camilla is particularly offensive in that she has done the slow build in getting the British to forget her part in Diana’s tragedy, and somehow made a deal with Charles whereby she is one foot in one foot out. I can’t believe the woman has a separate house and security. And from the article, it sounds as if she tags along on foreign tours so long as she can have some exotic down time en route.

  36. Debbie says:

    If Camilla made it through this long age with that face, then I don’t think she would get plastic surgery at this point. (Although there is a small chance that she may want to look better in photographs for her husband’s upcoming Whatever. I freely admit that I know nothing about these people (except for their racism, greed, and pettiness) but, is it possible that she went to India to get permission or approval to wear their stolen jewels in a way that wouldn’t result in bad press for her? Is that what “holistic rejuvenation” means, secret approval (as in, no complaints)?

  37. Escape says:

    Not a good look considering the economy in GB.

  38. Deeanna says:

    The best thing this woman could do to improve her face is to get her wretched looking teeth fixed.

  39. Lainey says:

    I tend to think she just wanted a nice vacation to unwind. Meghan took off for a little wellness break after she had Archie,

    You don’t need to take your husband for it to be allowed. It’s not always cosmetic.

    • Mary says:

      Seriously, you are comparing, and justifying, Camilla’s jaunt to India with Meghan needing a break from an onslaught of racist and misogynistic treatment, that led her to suicidal thoughts, from the press and royals? 🤪.

      Oh right, the poor pet needs to recover from becoming Queen Consort and getting access to beaucoup jewels, money and homes. Cams must also be exhausted from briefing to her friends in the tabloid press against Meghan.

  40. rea says:

    QC is not welcomed in the royal fold by PC or PH. They do not see her as a motherly figure from what has been shown over the years its more of a business relation. Its odd for her to go away like that especially this early on…

  41. Auroreg says:

    My guess is that she has a disease. Like Parkinson or another illness. I Hope i’m wrong, i dont like Camilla but i don’t wish that to anyone.
