Camilla cuts short Royal tour
Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, is cutting short a Royal tour of the Far East because she can't stand the tropical temperatures.
Prince Charles and his wife are due to visit Japan, Brunei and Indonesia later this month.
But Clarence House yesterday admitted Camilla - described by a royal insider as "monumentally lazy" - will fly home early after just five days.
SHOULD CAMILLA BE QUEEN? TELL US HERE
A senior source said she needed "a bit of time to catch her breath" between the end of the tour and celebrations for Charles' 60th birthday on November 14.
Charles will use the tour to reinforce his campaign to get world leaders to take action against climate change even though his travels and those of his wife, who will return at the Prince's expense, will clock up a sizeable carbon footprint.

I just wish Queen Elizabeth can convince one way or another Prince Charles not to take the throne. It would be the monarchy's end! Prince William should be the next sovereign as long as he can also straighten up and live up to his future.

I believe that Camilla needs to step up and do her job!!! If the Queen can do it so can this lazy Dutchess!!!

Diana was right she looks more like a rottweiler every day. I agree with her about the heat, all those clothes don't exactly make u cool. I dunno how Charlie can run around all day in the stuffed shirt he must be soaked to the skin by the end of the day.
I'm like Camila I cannot stand having clothes next to my skin while I'm sweating, imagine what she must feel like wrapped in that cocoon if u will. Her body sweat must be pure pungent.

Camilla is definately not Queen material. Obviously parties are more important to get ready for than state visits.

I WAS ALL FOR CHARLES TO BE HAPPY, CAMILA DID EVERYTHING TO TRY TO GET INTO PEOPLE'S GOOD BOOKS BEFORE THEY MARRIED, NOW SHE DOES NOT WANT TO DO ANYTHING EXCEPT BE QUEEN.

Oh Yes please.... She should be only Queen in Cornwall.
She works ever so hard on behalf of us little people and makes us all so very proud.

She does us proud and helping to cement foreign policy ofcourse.
Isn't she lovely !!!!!

Hi,
I am emailing from Canada and this woman is not liked worldwide. Who can ever forget that it is because of this woman that Charles cheated, helped to break up his marriage to beautiful Princess Di, who later died because she was not married to Charles anymore and didn't have proper royal protection that fatal night.
This woman is a murderer!

if it's true she is getting back earlier it's an alarming sign of her non -submission to her state duties. let's remind her she is not jet-set now but Royal

Most people i know can't stand Camilla, she has all the privileges of senior Royals, waited on hand and foot i'd expect, and then fly's home early because the heat is too much for her, she sounds like a very spoilt woman. I don't want her as our future Queen of England, she does not deserve it, to me she is just a common mistress that contributed to the break down of a marriage and interfered, are we all forgetting the sleazy way the Prince of Wales conducted himself regarding telephone conversations with Camilla,neither of them deserve the British public's respect....

Poor thing, I hate the extreme heat and choose not to go to places like that.
She is a great representative for the UK, Charles did us all proud the day he married Camilla.

She is just a waste of space and after all what can we expect from her - he just married his mistress.......
