The Duchess of Cornwall: I had Camilla on the list a few weeks ago; she's back this week because of a new biography by Penny Junor, called The Duchess, The Untold Story. (Read an excerpt at the Daily Mail here.) Most of what's in this first excerpt is the "same old, same old" of the Charles and Camilla story, except for one tidbit that I've never heard before:
Intriguingly, Camilla’s grandmother — Alice’s daughter Sonia — was more probably the daughter of the King than she was of Alice’s husband. Which meant that Charles and Camilla might well be related.
Really? The fact that Camilla's great-grandmother, Alice Keppel, was the long-time mistress of Charles' great, great-grandfather, King Edward VII, is well known. Was Alice's daughter Sonia the "love child" of the king? Junor's language is squishy. She only goes so far as to say that Sonia was "more probably" the king's daughter and that Charles and Camilla "might well be related," which is a bit of a cop-out. If grandma Sonia really was the king's daughter then Camilla and Charles are absolutely related. (If this juicy and delicious gossip is true, and if my genealogical charting is correct, C & C would be half second cousins, once removed.)
I say DNA tests all around.
The new book will be published in England on June 29; it won't be available here in the states, at least according to Amazon, until March 13, 2018.

To be fair there's also a picture of Melania posing with the happy couple with a smile on her face, you can see it here.
Wouldn't it be ironic if the first pictures of Trump and his family members to be featured on People's cover since the election were at someone else's wedding?
