Queen Camilla ‘hunted partridges’ during her week-long holiday in Spain

On March 2nd, we learned that Queen Camilla had boarded a plane and she was about to take more than a week off from royal work, leaving her cancer-stricken husband by himself. What was slightly funny about it is that Camilla really was picking up everyone else’s slack before then – she had been out and about, doing events and representing the monarchy for weeks, even while the heir to the throne went MIA and the other “working royals” were wandering away in various directions. There were also rumors that Camilla had a falling out with William, just as there were rumors that William was so mad about Camilla’s week-long holiday that he went on a sympathy strike too (which actually happened – he had seven full days off during Camilla’s holiday). Some royalists even suggested that Camilla had flown off to get spa treatments in India too. Now a Spanish reporter is revealing where Camilla actually went:

Queen Camilla has been back on royal duty this week as she led the Royal Family at the Commonwealth Day service on Monday, however a few days before she was enjoying a relaxing break at a Spanish finca. The finca, or estate, provided some welcome respite for the Queen, who has been at the head of the Firm temporarily while King Charles undergoes treatment for cancer.

Spanish journalist Marisa Martin Blazques revealed on the TV programme TardeAR that Camilla jetted to the European country for some sunshine for a few days. According to the television contributor, Camilla came to “hunt partridges” in a luxury finca used by former King Juan Carlos and other members of the Spanish nobility and aristocracy in Ciudad Real, south of the capital Madrid.

It is not known exactly where the Queen stayed, however the Duke of Westminster’s La Garganta estate is located nearby in the same province. Hugh Grosvenor, the 7th Duke of Westminster, is a close friend to Prince William and godfather to Prince George and is also one of the wealthiest men in Britain. His huge Spanish estate has previously played host to William and his younger brother Prince Harry, who travelled there to go hunting like Camilla.

The Queen was unable to stay there for too long however as she was back in the UK for the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey on March 11.

[From The Daily Express]

The idea that Camilla needed a week off to get spa treatments and day-drink sort of made sense to me, but the idea that Camilla went to Spain to hunt patridges is so random and bizarre. I mean, yes, these people love to hunt. Camilla and Charles’s affair flourished, back in the day, at shooting weekends and hunting holidays. That being said, I think a trip to Spain sounds more reasonable than “she flew all the way to India and back in nine days.” I also believe that Cam stayed at some wealthy person’s estate, probably the Duke of Westminster’s La Garganta. What’s crazy is that Spanish gossips revealed this too – this was not some British royal reporter doing their job and asking where the hell the queen (consort) of England went on holiday. If it had been the Sussexes, they wouldn’t have stopped until they had done a full audit of the finca’s accounts. Also: the Mother’s Day Frankenphoto Fiasco really stopped any further criticism of Camilla’s holiday, didn’t it?

    The huntress. That fur hat is ugly. The queen to me will always be the late elizabeth not Camilla

    • Brassy Rebel says:

      Camilla probably shot the hat.

      • ML says:

        *snort* Omg, that is both hysterically funny and deeply disturbing at the same exact time!

      • aftershocks says:

        Camilla went to Spain “to hunt partridges.”

        😳 🪶 Those poor birdies. 😢

        ’10 lords a-leaping; 9 ladies dancing … 5 golden rings … 2 turtle doves; and a partridge in a pear tree.’ 🎶

      • Campbell says:

        Bahahahah Camilla shot the hat!!!

      • Janice Tkach says:

        love it, she is a horrible conniving witch

    • StillDouchesOfCambridge says:

      Horsila Cam is a true hunter: there is a rivalry between UK & spain gossip. Spain is game to print out the worst about the brf example: kate in a coma. Uk hit back with the piece about laetizia & her long affair with her brother in law. It is not a coincidence that Horsy is over there. She probably has friends there too. Let’s just watch what comes out of the spain papers. WhoTF said she was going to india was doing it on purpose. Cam is going intl because her crumbs are too obvious now in the UK.

      • ML says:

        In the UK, she runs the risk of Huevo counteracting her leaks to the media. If she wants something out there, she’s being quite nefariously clever about it. The question of course, is why would she feel the need to leak something that he can’t control?

  2. seaflower says:

    Dons tin foil hat: So Camzilla went to Spain, country where the Kkkhate in a coma reporting came from. Hmmmm

    • First comment says:

      I thought the exact same thing!!!

      • WHAT says:

        Did anyone see the Barbie doll made in her likeness. It looked like Diana more than Camilla.

        They dressed the Barbie doll in the same clothes that she wore to the event.

        She said it took fifty years 📴😭. When even before the wrinkles did Camilla look pretty same question to Catherine

        She’s been chasing Diana and now Meghan same point to Catherine

    • Crystal says:

      Inside job, is she the original leak? Maybe sent to- Find the mole? Ha 😆 more like- Feed the mole more!?! Spanish press broke the Prince Freddy story? Weirdd

      • Couch Potato says:

        Feed it is more likely, yes. Speaking of king Frederik, he has also been on quite a few hunting trips on private estates over the years. It’s said he met Casanova on one or more of these hunting weekends. Makes one wonder what they’re actually hunting…

    • Sumodo1 says:

      Hear that? A drip-drip sound? It’s the leak coming from Spain!

    • Where'sMyTiara says:

      Maybe she went to update Concha Calleja in person since the palace Grey Suits are spying on her now…

    • JP says:

      My first thought!!

  3. Tessa says:

    She has unfortunate smile like her stepson william.

    • SussexWatcher says:

      Have you seen the profile shot of her in the shadows floating around Twitter? She looks identical to T*ump wearing a Camzilla wig, hat and blue dress. It was taken the day she’s wearing that light blue dress above.

    • SussexWatcher says:

      I meant to add about her smile, it actually repulses me. Her smug smiling face is like something out of Get Out great-grandma edition or some other nightmarish imaginings.

      I never understood when people here used to talk about how much fun she’d be to say-drink and gossip with. And not even including the physical, her entire energy and personality are disgusting to me. Plus, the entire time she was laughing and gossiping to your face, she’d probably be plotting ways to slip you some cyanide when your back was turned.

      • Moira's Rose's Garden says:

        “Get Out great-grandma edition.” 💀

      • Alix says:

        I’ve said it before – she’d be a perfectly handsome woman with a bad hairstyle if it weren’t for that hideous rictus of a mouth.

  4. Jan says:

    If Cowmilla was holding a shot gun, I would seek protection.

    • Mary Eleanor Kidd says:

      Yeah, she could end up pulling a “Dick Cheney” on you.

      • Sumodo1 says:

        Bad marksman Cheney had a horrible smile, too, when I think of it. After awhile, the terrible things one has done show on one’s face.

    • Deering24 says:

      If I had to choose between being stuck with her or with Lady Tyrell . . . not a hard call at all. 👀😳🤣

  5. Cessily says:

    So the bloodbath between the Palaces wasn’t enough for her? I will never understand killing animals for fun/sport, it’s sick.

  6. Izzy says:

    Seems like taxpayer money well spent. /s

    • Lolo86lf says:

      The taxpayers paid for a personal.vacation!! This is outrageous. Queen Camilla is loaded with money. If she had to convert all of her millions to pure gold ingots she would need a full-size army truck to carry it. The audacity. Clearly the British monarchy needs reform to say the least.

  7. sevenblue says:

    They use this type of events for networking too. I wonder, whom did she meet there? Spanish reporter’s insistence on the coma story got curiouser now.

    • SussexWatcher says:

      Yup. Interesting too that it’s also the Spanish papers saying Rose is pregnant again with Pegs’s baby and divorces are on the horizon.

      Who is this long-time leaker meeting with over there?

      • Crystal says:

        Interesting to think of the private network, be interesting to know who is the mole? Motive and journalists? There must be a connection we are missing in the Spanish press royal networks. Maybe Kates budget cuts on dresses Harry couldn’t be afforded. Was long for seen by Pa knowing the money was already spent on legal fees pay offs NDA’s illegitimate children of chuck wills and even still paying lifestyles of Philips f ups. They “William” is being black mailed to the gunnels. Everyday- is cam cooling the fires for Chuck-in terms for the heir or is she fanning them?

    • Kateee says:

      My thoughts exactly. Was she there for an infusion of foreign money or to sell out W&K to Marca? Two birds, one shot.

      • Crystal says:

        Bird shot spread in a shotgun is effected by the choke, your right two birds one shot. She’s adjusted the choke on the situation for a wide spread shot—- jeezzzz

  8. SAS says:

    Wtf, that was her much-needed “rest and relaxation” break?! SICK.

    • jan90067 says:

      Well, it IS quite stressing dropping one’s son’s watch off to the shops, y’know… really you guys! M*A*J*O*R* stress! I know I *always* need a week off between errands! /s

  9. Beverley says:

    The photos of her in the green coat are TERRIFYING!

    • kelleybelle says:

      It’s impossible to find a picture of her where she doesn’t appear to have been dug up. All that drinking, smoking and pure sloth. Beware ladies.

  10. blueberry says:

    So… a straightforward shooting week then?

    • jan90067 says:

      Gotta wonder whose face she saw on each terrified bird’s beak as she pulled the trigger (I picture her cackling as she does it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

  11. Brassy Rebel says:

    If not for the Spanish media, we would know nothing about these disgusting people. So I thank them for not being like the British media.

    • ML says:

      I’m afraid the SM is very similar to the BM. They just have different needs at the moment.

      • Brassy Rebel says:

        But don’t they sometimes spill tea on their own royals? BM never does, thus, we have to rely on the Spanish. In any case, I’m glad someone is willing to call out the British royals.

  12. Alexis Maxwell says:

    Wasn’t it also a Spanish reporter who leaked Kate’s had a serious operation? Camilla cozy’s up to the press did she leak about Kate’s whereabouts??

  13. Sheyr says:

    Wasn’t there a segment in Spare where Harry mentioned a bonding moment between him and his brother shooting birds?

    Camilla comes across like a jealous biddy wanting to put her stamp on many experiences mentioned by Diana’s kids.

  14. Shoegirl77 says:

    I do have a grudging respect for going on solo holidays with spa treatments and day drinking so I can’t knock her for that. I do think she had a very productive week of hunting but partridges were not in the equation.

    • SarahCS says:

      Only with her it will never actually be ‘solo’. No Charles sure but she’ll have plenty of staff and hangers on keeping her company and doing her bidding.

  15. Agnes says:

    There’s nothing more relaxing for her than shooting a beautiful living creature out of the sky? FFS

    • Too be honest I didn’t know horses could shoot.

      • Crystal says:

        A dark horse is a previously lesser-known person, team or thing that emerges to prominence in a situation, especially in a competition involving multiple rivals, that is unlikely to succeed but has a fighting chance, unlike the underdog who is expected to lose. She is a dark horse! Horse sense- is like street smarts she is cunning. Just n not gentle or loving. I love my horse OB and he has the patience and kindness of no human, horse sense keeps them from hurting us. She’s a dark horse with no horse sense lol she’s out to hurt

    • kelleybelle says:

      She is rot, nothing more.

  16. Elo says:

    It left out the interesting detail that she used only her hands and mouth to catch them.

    • Interested Gawker says:

      😂😂😂

    • io says:

      i wasn’t ready for this comment 🤣

    • Scooby Gang says:

      I just burst out laughing so loudly… it startled my husband. 😂😂😂😂😂

    • Crystal says:

      Literally in the 17-1800 in Canada we almost extinct the grouse partridge you can walk up to them literally catch with your hands and mouth. Not a fair hunt. We have them on our farm little buddy chases my son on his dirt bike walk right up to us in the woods and at the brook. Sad barley feed one human.

  17. Nic919 says:

    Concha is going to have a few new stories coming out I guess.

  18. Beech says:

    A warning would have been nice before opening the post. Good God, that face!

  19. /mary Pester says:

    So camileaks is of again, stand by for more revelations about willy’s wandering, I wonder if camileaks was wandering around, fag hanging out one side of her mouth, gin bottle in one hand, shotgun in the other singing “LUCY in the sky with diamonds” yes, LUCY on the sly with diamonds
    I expect at the other end of the great hall was a dart board with a picture of willy on it, and every time she looked at it to take a pot shot, she sang that line OVER AND OVER again

    • Libra says:

      Is there a reason you’ve altered your sign in name to include a slash@/mary pester?

      • mary Pester says:

        @Libra, thanks for pointing that out Libra, I didn’t realise it was there, all I can think of is my phone went a bit loopy on me yesterday, it sent the same text 8 times to my son and half of it was Missing!

    • Teagirl says:

      Hmmm, Lucy. Who is in William and Kate orbit with this name? Thomas van Straubenzee’s wife is called Lucy, that’s all I can think of. Godparents to some of their children I think.

    • DetachedObserver says:

      @/marypester – are you telling us that Will’s new sidepiece is named Lucy?

      Lucy Boynton, Rami Malik’s “girlfriend”? Lucy Worsley? Lucy Beaumont Marsham, daughter of Viscount and Viscountess Allendale and “right hand woman”to Robin Birley, owner of the exclusive Oswald’s private club where Will has been sighted?

      Do tell!

      • Jaded says:

        Hmmm…Lucy Beaumont Marsham married Michael Marsham in 2013…she doesn’t really look Willbur’s type though. Lucy Worsley is married but she’s 50 and far too intelligent for the likes of Prince Peabrain. Lucy Boynton is no longer with Rami Malek…hmmmm, much to ponder!

    • Saucy&Sassy says:

      Mary Pester, it sounds like things are about to become very interesting!

    • CC says:

      The fossil remnants known as Lucy, an Australopithecus specimen found in the 1970s, were given that name because the archaeologists played the record of “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” after discovering her.

      Is William having an affair with a 3 million year old skeleton?

      (Insert your own joke here about how she holds up better than most of the English aristocracy)

    • Underhill says:

      Lucy with her big hat, at Commonwealth Service and soon to be at Easter? Anyone know an aristo who might be invited to such things whose name is Lucy?

  20. Lauren says:

    Could she not have done this at Sandrigham? You know, near her spouse currently dealing with cancer

    • kelleybelle says:

      This woman is abhorrent and I am sickened every time I see her, the position she is in and the evil person she is. Garbage.

    • Lau says:

      She looks so cold-hearted for leaving on a vacation like that. It’s actually insane that the courtiers just let her go after years of cultivating her image as the dutiful wife and kind granny.

  21. Dierski says:

    I will never get over that terrifying “smile” of hers… just insane.

  22. SolitaryAngel says:

    Yuck that face 😵 She always looks like she’s about to bite someone when she *smiles* like that. (((Shudder)))

    It doesn’t surprise me at all that Camilla derives joy and relaxation from killing small animals. 😒

    I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!! This whole Royal Meltdown is amazing and horrific and historical all at once. I am concerned for the children though. They didn’t ask to be born into this mess. 😕
    Mary Pester, I have enjoyed all of your posts here; your humor, cutting sarcasm and terrifically sharp wit are such a great read every time. I look forward to seeing your name here every day. You’re a strong, smart, tough, brave lady. Tea times with you? Whew! Piping hot and delicious 🤣😝🥰

  23. paintybox says:

    Hmm, wondering if Camz serves her partridge with shot still in it, like Caroline in Succession?

  24. Jennifer says:

    She has a dog face…

    • Patricia says:

      Let’s not insult the puppy dogs.
      She is just plain butt ugly and mean to match. I wonder if she was allowed to take her flying monkeys with her?

  25. Cathalea says:

    She had to compensate, dealing with all these peasants 🙄

  26. Just Me says:

    “Rich old hag kills birds for fun.” More accurate title.
