A controversial documentary which paints Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, as un-virtuous woman will be aired on British TV tonight (31.05.07).
Channel 4’s ‘Queen Camilla’ claims the duchess was unable to marry her boyfriend Britain’s Prince Charles in the late 60s as she was not a virgin.
The film - to be broadcast at 9pm - reports Camilla lost her virginity at the age of 17 at her debutante ball in 1965.
Charles went on to marry the late Princess Diana in 1981 but it is alleged he continued to have an affair with Camilla throughout his marriage - which ended in divorce in August 1996.
Camilla’s great-grandmother, Alice Keppel, was allegedly the mistress of Britain’s King Edward VII.
Windsor-family expert Gyles Brandreth says of Camilla in the documentary: ‘She comes from a family that has, in the best sense of the word, been servicing royalty for many generations.’ Channel 4 have already upset the royal family by planning to broadcast another controversial documentary showing footage of Diana being treated by paramedics at the scene of the fatal Paris car crash which claimed her life in 1997.
John Beyer of Mediawatch UK, which campaigns for standards in the media, told Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper ‘Queen Camilla’ appeared ‘very intrusive’. He said: ‘It seems to me that one can accuse Channel 4 of muck-raking.
‘This is yet another bad judgment by Channel 4.’
