After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle dropped a bombshell earlier this month, people were mostly focused on their withdrawal from royal life that they forgot about the rest of the royal family members. The truth is that despite the shake-up, these royals’ duties must go on.
As for Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, she visited the Banbury branch of the Royal Voluntary Service as part of her official royal engagement. The wife of Prince Charles was then praised by royal fans after she took part in an Israeli circle dance.
“[The] Duchess of Cornwall shows what being a Royal is all about. Good on her,” one wrote. “She is a good sport,” another one shared. “I really really like her. She just seems like she is game for everything. And is happy while doing it,” one royal fan commented. "This is absolutely wonderful. I think Camilla is just FABULOUS,” another added.
Camilla looked stunning in her blue jacket paired with a blue pleated skirt and black boots. She also smiled the whole time as she clapped her hands, raised her arms, and danced in a circle.
On Monday, the Duchess of Cornwall went to Warsaw to attend the commemorations of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. And last week, Prince Charles traveled to Israel to attend the World Holocaust Forum.
Around 40 world leaders attended the event. There, Prince Charles proudly shared his grandmother’s contribution to saving a Jewish family.
“I have long drawn inspiration from the selfless actions of my dear grandmother, Princess Alice of Greece, who in 1943 in Nazi-occupied Athens, saved a Jewish family by taking them into her home and hiding them,” he said. “My grandmother, who is buried on the Mount of Olives, has a tree planted in her name here at Yad Vashem and is counted as one of the Righteous Among the Nations – a fact which gives me and my family immense pride.”
Prince Charles also didn’t forget to mention those who have lost their lives during the Holocaust and those who have survived. The Prince of Wales, then, urged everyone to remember them.
“Almost a lifetime has passed since the horror of the Holocaust unfolded on the European continent, and those who bore witness to it are sadly ever fewer,” he continued. “We must, therefore, commit ourselves to ensuring that their stories live on, to be known and understood by each successive generation.”
