Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles Over, Queen Calls Duchess of Cornwall a Disgrace—Reports [PHOTOS]
After months of speculations on Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles crumbling marriage, GLOBE Magazine's latest breaking news claims the royal couple is calling it quits after 9 years of marriage. The ailing Queen allegedly called the Duchess of Cornwall a disgrace after trying to force the royal family into a $350 million divorce payout to buy her silence, Celebdirty Laundry reports.
According to the July 14 edition of GLOBE Magazine, the couple are on their way towards a divorce. The magazine adds the Queen mother is not giving in to the Duchess of Cornwall's demands and wants her gone. "Camilla isn't likely to go without a fight though," stated the gossip Web site. "This chick has always been in it either for the crown or for a nice payday and so expect her to dig in her heels on this one. She has also been at Charles' side for over 3 decades so she certainly does have a lot of dirt on him."
The divorce claims intensified after Charles and Camilla went on their Canadian tour after Prince William and Kate Middleton won rave reviews on their 3-week tour in New Zealand and Australia. Although the couple fought against going, the Queen insisted they needed to do this to earn the public trust and after spending three and a half days on a 41 engagement with his wife, Charles packed up his bags as soon they got home.
"Upon landing in Nova Scotia on May 18th Camilla exclaimed that it would take a lot of booze to survive," according to the Web site based on GLOBE's June 9 print edition. "It caused constant fighting and Charles was raging every time his drunken wife threw back another gin martini."
Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall were photographed recently as they paid tribute to Wales' coal miners on the fourth day of their Wales tour. During their visit to Senghenydd, near Caerphilly, Charles was spotted placing a wreath at the foot of the Welsh National Mining Memorial. The couple also opened the Aber Valley Heritage Centre that features the history of the south Wales valleys.
"My wife and I have so enjoyed this opportunity to meet you all and if I may say so to have a chance to pay our respects at the memorial," Charles said, as he paid tribute to the courage of the miners and to those who lost their lives for digging the precious coal that helped Britain's economy.
"We just wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate all those who've been involved in ensuring such a marvelous memorial is there in memory of all those many people who died so tragically, not only in 1913, but in 1901," he added. "Both of us are enormously proud to have this opportunity to be here."
