    Duchess of Cornwall to visit Cunard ship

    The Duchess of Cornwall, better known to many as Camilla Parker Bowles, will pay her second visit to the Cunard ship Queen Victoria this weekend.

    She christened the vessel in December 2007 and will visit again when the liner calls at Liverpool for the first time on July 26th.

    The duchess's appearance will be part of Cunard's celebration of the 170th anniversary of its first ship setting sail from Liverpool in July 1840.

    Peter Shanks, president and managing director of the cruise line, will welcome the special guest and escort her aboard the ship for a tour and a meeting with crew members.

    Mr Shanks said: "Cunard is honoured that Her Royal Highness named this fine ship and delighted that she continues to display such an interest both in the ship and in the crew.

    "The duchess will always be warmly welcome on board."

    Cunard's newest ship, Queen Elizabeth, is set to enter service in October this year.

    I wouldn't want her sharing my table on a cruise. Or him. Can't be doing with the pair of them.

    Better the other way round

    I think that it would be much better if the Duchess of Cunard visited Cornwall. :D. ....Neil

    She did Neil, and whether you like her or not she spent ages speaking with the veterans of the St Nazaire raid,, a very understanding and sypathetic lady, and our new St Mawes ferry is named after her. CG

    Couldn't agree more. She a cheating adulteress. Runs in her family of course. As for her Prince Charming - he's a cheating adulterer and it's a frightening thought that one day he will be King. If they would lie and cheat to their so called nearest and dearest, their spouses, - how can they be trusted with the task of head of our monarchy and church?

    If I had to choose between the two of them, Camilla wins hands down over Charley Farley. Can't stand him... and I'm in favour of the monarchy. Thank goodness William is in the wings, even if he does waste our cash on extra security!!

    Whatever your views, you can bet there will be a line of people waiting to shake her hand.

    Strangly enough, I don't have any problem with her at all. In fact, I feel sorry for her...and my tin hat's at the ready now.:D

    I have as a matter of fact. Went there decades ago when the kids were young. On going round the crown jewels display - where a crown was normally displayed there was a very simple card in its place stating - "In Use". It was the state opening of parliament and the Queen was wearing said crown. As you'll gather from some of my previous posts - I'm not a big fan of the Royals but I thought that that little card was pretty COOL.
