THE BIG READ: Will Camilla Parker Bowles ever be Queen of England?

Will Prince Charles’ once maligned mistress be fully accepted as his partner, his queen, asks

The woman married to the heir to the British throne enters the Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Centre in a south London suburb via the fire escape. Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall — she was Camilla Parker Bowles until she married Prince Charles in 2005 — doesn’t want to draw attention to the location of the centre by going through the front door.

This choice of entrance keeps photographers who might be waiting for her largely out of sight to passersby and helps preserve the safe unremarkableness of the building, which is vital because the women inside do not want their abusers to find them.
