卡米拉.帕克.鲍尔斯最近发生的一段旷世姻缘，再次让世人领略了“问世间情为何物，直教人生死相许”的爱情箴言。这段恋情被称为旷世姻缘，不仅因为它的确是好事多磨，还在于它拥有的皇家背景。没错，这段姻缘就是查尔斯和卡米拉那轰动世界的爱恋历程。而卡米拉在赢得其最终归宿的同时，也渐渐向世人揭开了她的神秘面纱…… She will never be Queen of England, or England’s Queen of Hearts, but Camilla Parker Bowles has at least gone one better than her best-known ancestor. Mrs. Parker Bowles is a direct descendant of Alice Keppel, a society matron who was the last official mistress of King Edward VII, the Prince of Wales’s great-great-grandfather. Mrs. Keppel died in September 1947 at the age of 78, without ever meeting her great-granddaughter Camilla Shand, who was born in London two months earlier to the Honourable Rosalind Cubitt (whose forebear Thomas Cubitt built much of London’s West End) and Major Bruce Shand, who was deputy lord lieutenant of East Sussex, the Queen’s official representative in the county, as well as a wine merchant. Camilla grew up in rural Sussex and was educated at Queen’s Gate School in South Kensington, before attending finishing school in Switzerland and France. She is a socialite by birth and by nature. Born into the English elite circle, like other girls of her station, she was groomed for a place in society; as the wife of a wealthy aristocrat. Her reputation since childhood paints the picture of an outgoing, charismatic individual noted for her wit and a good sense of humour. Her charisma, ①by all accounts, did not get lost on men who, as her friends and acquaintances say, have always liked Camilla. Still, if it weren’t for the affection of one man in particular, the Prince of Wales and heir to the British throne, this reputation would have most likely stayed ②within the limits of Camilla’s exclusive social circle. As it stands, Camilla is internationally known, living the life of a celebrity surrounded by intrusive public interest that makes her the subject of abuse and admiration all at the same time. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
