Being the queen is no walk in the park — take it – Latest News
Royals walk on and out
London Bridge is not falling down. Only its junior royals. Its titled seniors — like Camilla — are nonetheless residing massive.
In ’98, I reported how the higher kingly class dissed her. In ’05, I reported on her marrying Charles. In 2026, we’re curtsying to her.
In ’22, she and I had an alone one-on-one home-y dialog. Sighing she flopped down in a chair and stated:
“Everyone thinks the royal life is so easy. It’s not. It’s constant demands to be here, do this, open that, show up where. Doesn’t matter if you’re tired or not feeling well. Nobody really cares. So you just pull yourself together and you go. You do it.”
“Worst is the feet. Standing. Walking. And posing in place. There’s that steady pain that won’t go away. Rubbing, massaging your feet won’t really help. When I’m home what I do first is kick off those shoes. Give my toes a break. And I immediately put up my feet. My No. 1 job is to quickly walk around our home barefoot.”

Insider deaths
Dr. Michael Baden, who wrote “American Autopsy” and was for a few years NYC’s official coroner, the forensic pathologist and chief health worker, who investigated the deaths of Martin Luther King Jr., Medgar Evers, OJ Simpson, George Floyd. He says:
“Suicides are a big problem in prisons. I determined prisoners hang themselves by using the curtain rod in shower rooms. I have since recommended collapsible rods. If the attempt is made the shower rod will break.”
About the OJ case: “The smart legal team mapped out Simpson’s defense strategy. They raised questions about mistakes police made — and they focused their case on race. A lot of things were not done right.”
