Breaking news, Camilla let Princess Anne walk into a room before her ! She politely declined though – thank goodness. The landlord things been quietly buried, back to business as usual giving each other awards.
Isn’t Queen enough? Is this the royal equivalent of padding your resume?
I’m not sure how exactly honorary degrees are given out or the process through which people are selected, but something about this event, the optics, was just laughable to me.
Like, in any other context a chancellor of a university granting her sister-in-law an honorary doctorate . . . Because she has a passing interest in literature . . . would be seen as the highest act of nepotism. Hell, Anne herself is only Chancellor because of nepotism (the Queen Mother was the previous Chancellor) so the whole event just felt like a massive royal ego feast.
Most people aren’t just handed honorary degrees because they have a book club. Like I’m sure Camilla has some vague literary accomplishments, but the only reason she’s even being considered for this is due to who she married.
