Penny Junor is a cousin, I believe, of Prince Charles. I am not exactly sure in what line of the tree she sits but nevertheless, she is a member of the royal family.
When I had my hands on Diana's biography, I realized that her book did not paint Diana in any way in good light. In fact, her book was more derisive and filled with contempt toward the late Princess of Wales.
So, when I saw she had done one of Camilla, I was curious - how would she paint the Duchess of Cornwall? I suspected that she would try to soften her image and try to dissuade readers that she was not the villain in the marriage between Charles and Diana, that it was actually Diana herself.
I was not disappointed when I cracked open the book and found that my assessment was correct, but also I saw it more about Charles than really Camilla. I started to wonder if Penny Junor was in love with her own cousin.
EWWWW!
But I am being serious about this because every book I have come across with her has been nothing more than praise about him. ALL. OF. THEM.
There is never anything from her that paints him in a different light. None of her books offer that. It is all praise.
On the other side of her spectrum, Diana is all that has been a problem. Diana is what kept Camilla away. Diana was a crybaby. Diana's mental illness was nothing more than a temper tantrum. She never bothered to see the other side of Diana, never bothered to go into the depth of looking for why she acted the way she did. Did she even bother interviewing those that knew Diana better?
Nope.
If it made Charles to be the bad guy, she did not want it. At all.
I knew she had been waiting for the moment. The right moment to give Camilla her spotlight and try to rehabilitate her images. I mean, why not? She is going to be Queen and she had to soften the woman's image just enough for the British people to see that Camilla is better queen material than what Diana would have been.… (altro)
