Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, Part II

[timfromengland]

She  was absent from the pics on the TV  news today   sat

Judith Keppel.... winner of  "Who wants to be a Millionaire " TV show.... said to be related
to the famous Alice Keppel...   wonder if there is a direct link...  like in the  case of Camilla ?

If so , Judith and Camilla could be distant cousins  ?

Aaah Judith Keppel, frequently gracing our TVs as part of the Eggheads quiz team. I believe she and Camilla are third cousins.

Just look at their hairstyle

Camilla is in India with Charles.  I was mentioned on BBC tolday.

I rate Judith as a lot more attractive than  Camilla.... despite being a few years older than Camilla...
all that money in the bank is a bit of an attraction too !

Charles and Camilla at the Commonwealth Games (feeling the heat).

 Off  the top of my  head I think Alice Keppel is decended from a Dutch lineage....
... from the  William of Orange era .... am I wrong ?

Well the Duchess agreed!!! I am just following her lead...

[Robert_Hall]

I agree with Eddie. A fine young athlete indeed !
 I noticed that the Duchess looked  considerably more comfortable in her dress than Charles did, all done up in the suit & tie. In that heat, one  would think he might try to be  more comfortable. I did hear {BBC} or read in the papers that the Duchess was not enjoying the heat at all, but at least tried to be comfortable.

[Kalafrana]

Of course, the Duchess can turn out in a simple dress suitable to the climate, while Charles, as a man, will be expected to wear a suit and tie whatever the weather.

'Off  the top of my  head I think Alice Keppel is decended from a Dutch lineage....

The original Keppel was a Dutch favourite of William of Orange.

Alice's husband  Hon George Keppel was a descendant of the Dutch born 1st Earl of Albemarle.

From  my  post.... 171   ...  you can see that  Judith is  a very attractive lady
(Im really quite taken with  her  from her appearances on Egg Head )
but I wonder ... is she really directly decended from Alice Keppel....  as  Camilla  undoubtedly is !
Alice was obviously a  very important lady in the life of  King Edward
(wonder if  Alice  has her own thread in here ? )
