Queen Camilla faces a new scrutiny after she was seen on vacation aboard a superyatht of £ 30 million owned by an important Tory donor while she went on vacation in Greece.
According The mirrorThe queen was photographed in the Zenobia, a luxury yacht owned by a businessman, a donor of the conservative party for a long time.
Camilla seemed relaxed with a hot pink tunic dress from the British Aspiga brand and large sunglasses.
Although it was not accompanied by King Charles, who undergoes cancer treatment, and the yacht did not take the owner at that time, the optics is remarkable.
The former liberal democrat minister, Norman Baker, commented that the real “should really consider public perception” to accept such hospitality.
“They are representing the country at all times … This is not a good look for stretcher,” he added.
Although irregularities have not been suggested, critics say that the episode raises concerns about the political neutrality of the monarchy, since it is constitutionally expected that the royal family remains away from political influence.
Camilla’s summer getaway follows previous reports that Prince William and Kate Middleton on vacation in a separate supereyate, although those trips received less media coverage.
The royal family already faces a greater media scrutiny about an next book about Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.
The revelations of the book have revived the public debate on past controversies, attracting unwanted headlines at a time when King Charles is receiving cancer treatment.
In addition to the pressure, the former butler of Jeffrey Epstein recently gave an interview with Telegraph, discussing the relationship of the Duke of York with the sexual offender.
In this context, Queen Camilla’s private escape is expected to attract more negative media attention.
