For decades, many have painted the Duchess of Cornwall as a villain cast opposite of Diana’s hero. It is past time for that narrative to stop.
I was struck by how the Duchess is being, again, painted as the villain while watching the latest series of The Crown. We see her as the other woman, running around with the Prince of Wales while he was married to Diana. It is important to…

16th October 2020
Anyone who knows me well knows I am a fervent fan of Her Majesty The Queen. Which was why I was so surprised to see the pictures of Her Majesty’s joint engagement with Prince William yesterday.
