Queen Elizabeth Brought Camilla To State Opening Of Parliament; Royal Fans Believe It’s ‘Unnecessary’

Queen Elizabeth II surprised royal fans earlier this week when she brought Camilla Parker Bowles along with her to the State Opening of Parliament. Prince Charles also joined Her Majesty to the formal event.

On Twitter, royal fans can’t help but wonder why the Queen would think of bringing Camilla to the State Opening of Parliament. After all, she wasn’t given a special part there.

Prince Charles, on the other hand, assisted the Queen to and from the stage. He is also the heir to the throne so royal fans think that his presence was Her Majesty’s way of turning over some of her royal duties to her successor.

“Queen brought Camilla with her?” one royal fan asked in disbelief.

“Charles and Camilla. Is that really necessary,” another fan tweeted.

“And now #princecharles and #camilla. How much does all this cost?” another royal fan wrote.

This year’s State Opening of Parliament was the first time that Camilla attended the event with her husband and mother-in-law. However, it wasn’t Prince Charles’ first time to attend the occasion.

In 2017, he also accompanied the Queen at the State Opening of Parliament after Prince Philip retired from his royal duties. When he was still engaged in his royal duties, the Duke of Edinburgh was the one who usually accompanied the monarch.

Camilla also joined the Queen and Prince Charles in the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee State Coach, which is a horse-drawn carriage that took them from the Buckingham Palace to the Houses of Parliament.

The Duchess of York sat a few inches away from Prince Charles and the Queen, who was positioned in the middle of the stage. Camilla didn’t say anything during the event. But she wore a stunning white gown and tiara to the occasion.

But the negative reactions that she received this week seem to suggest that some royal fans are still not ready to see her as the next Queen or Queen Consort.
