Camilla Parker Bowles Asked This Question By Driver Before Prince Charles Wedding

Camilla Parker Bowles was once asked an awkward question by a taxi driver right before she married Prince Charles in 2005.

The Duchess of Cornwall recounted the conversation she had with the unnamed driver while at the reception for the London Taxi Drivers’ Charity for Children at Buckingham Palace this week.

She claimed that before she and Prince Charles tied the knot, she rode a taxi for the first time in a very long time. The driver asked the mom of two what she thought of herself without realizing that she was linked to the heir to the throne.

“He was awfully charming and I gave him a huge tip,” Camilla said, and everyone at the event ended up laughing.

After everyone calmed down, the Duchess finished her speech and said that she is very proud to be the patron of the charity. The LTCFC is a charity that is known for using convoys of London taxis to take children and their helpers for fun days out.

In her speech, Camilla also revealed that some of the children that the charity works with have previously helped in decorating the Christmas tree at her and Prince Charles’ home at the Clarence House.

Meanwhile, Camilla also graced the Royal Osteoporosis Society at the Science Museum in London, where she spoke very passionately about her views on extreme dieting. The royal said that trends like clean eating can see people cut out calcium-rich foods.

“It is this ridiculous dieting, cutting out dairy and all the things that are good for your bones. These girls see ‘Skinny Lizzies’ in a magazine and they all want to be thin… It’s about social media, too,” she said.

Camilla said that people should find a way to educate children on how to take care of their bodies instead of aspiring to look like someone they see in a photo if they want to protect themselves from old age.

The Duchess of Cornwall serves as the president of the Royal Osteoporosis Society.
