Why does the Duchess of Camille need friendship with Megan Markle?

The wife of the prime successor to the English throne, Prince Charles, the Duchess of Camilla, is increasingly trying to establish relations with Megan Markle.

Recently, representatives of the royal residence of Prince Charles told English journalists that the Duchess of Camilla had invited Prince Harry's bride to a tea party. Over a cup of tea, the Duchess of Cornwall wants to share with Megan Markle with friendly advice and talk about the upcoming wedding.

Do Megan need advice?

The news was seen as an unexpected surprise, although the course of events is considered quite predictable. First, Megan has long established itself as a self-confident person who easily established relationships even with the queen herself. She confidently learns new rules and upcoming duties, and every new release raises her rating in the eyes of attentive subjects of the English kingdom. Such achievements can not boast of the Duchess Camilla. The very fact of their wedding with Charles in 2005 markedly hit the image and rating of the royal family, primarily, of course, because of the death of the beautiful and beloved princess Diana. This tragedy even today gives a heavy echo in the family life of Camille and Charles. Today, the ratings of the duchess are also unstable, periodically dropping from a respectful attitude to undisguised public hatred. Hence the perplexity, and why, every day, more and more gaining popularity, Mark suddenly need advice from the hardly recognized duchess?

But, despite this, this news was still a predictable turn of events and there are also reasons for this.

"The habit of making friends"

According to the columnists, the friendly conversation between Camilla and Megan should have taken place in one way or another. It is known that earlier the duchess had already invited, indeed, for lunch, and Kate Middleton, when she was still the bride of William. The purpose of the meeting was similar: to share a pair of tips on survival in the royal family, a little calm down before the wedding and relax in a friendly atmosphere. However, according to some sources, the current wife of William still took advantage of several of Camille's advice. Moreover, today women maintain a warm relationship.

But with her friendly invitations to the brides of the English princes, Camilla became known much earlier. Back in 1981, before the engagement of Charles, his fiancee, 19-year-old Diana Spencer received a letter from Camille Parker Bowles with an invitation for lunch. Camille was at that time 33 and she brought up two children. The future princess accepted the invitation and often met with Camille. Also, together with Charles, they often visited her estate in Wiltshire. Initially, the relationship developed quite well. Camille, being at that time a close friend of Charles, understood that she needed to make friends with Diana, so as not to lose their friendship. However, after the wedding, Lady Dee still brought this communication to nothing. But, unfortunately, according to the tragic coincidence of circumstances, this story nevertheless continued and ended sadly.

As an experienced lady, Camilla is well aware that no matter how much Megan was popular and successful, support for her would not be a hindrance. Moreover, a certain isolation inside the walls of the royal palace can not but cause discomfort to Megan, accustomed to a completely different way of life. Perhaps, this fact will become fundamental in the birth of friendship between the Duchess of Camilla and the future wife of Harry.

Project "Magnificent Seven"

As for the wife of Camilla, Prince Charles, he himself is not only against the friendship between his son's bride and his wife, but also puts certain hopes on Megan. As it became known recently, Charles intends to become the initiator in Camille's announcement of the Queen in the future, and he will never dare to do this without the support of his sons.

But, since Prince Philip retired, and is not engaged in his royal duties, according to Charles's plans, Megan should take his place. This fact, of course, can a little alarm the future daughter-in-law. Here then hurries to the aid of his wife Camilla with her friendship and diplomatic invitations.
