Princess Camilla of Bourbon turned 50 today. H.R.H. Princess Camilla of Bourbon Two Sicilies, Duchess of Castro, (Camilla Crociani) was born in Rome on 5 April 1971. Princess Camilla and Prince Charles of Bourbon got married at Monaco Cathedral on October 31, 1998. They live between Monaco, Paris and Rome, with their two daughters Princess Maria Carolina and Princess Maria Chiara. The Two Sicilies Royal House is an ancient dynasty in Europe which ruled Southern Italy from 1734–1861.
Princess Camilla is involved within many associations, and helping whomever is in need especially in the South of Italy, in France and everywhere help is required worldwide. On 3 March 2016, the Princess received the prestigious Humanitarian Award from the UN Women for Peace Association, awarded to her for "her intense social activity on behalf of disadvantaged children."
Confused as to why they are a royal house when they haven't ruled in over a hundred years? Are those titles then just self-given?
ReplyDeleteIt is a little complicated. The house of Bourbon is still represented today by the reigning monarchs of Luxembourg (House of Bourbon-Parma) and Spain (the Borbón-Anjou).
DeleteTala
My first thought: what is Kylie Minogue doing here?
ReplyDeleteAgree with Coralie a Kylie Minogue moment. I have never heard of these minor royals before however, Camilla has had work done to her face. That is obvious. She looks unnatural for a 50 year old. LOL Mary I
DeleteHappy Birthday madam and congratulations for your award from the UN Women for Peace Association,
ReplyDeleteFashion wise, Nice outfits for a little girl's tea party with her friends, mummy and the dogs.
Apart from Monaco, Paris and Rome nothing was mentioned in the above prelude about the family's bling bling life in Saint Tropez.
I'll close my comment here as the other things I'd like to say are not appropriate and fit for a fashion blog. I'll spend my time having a good cup of tea.
Who? Why? They are not relevant. They "ruled Southern Italy from 1734–1861"
ReplyDeleteIt is 2021. jk
Agree with jk. 1861, that is 160 years ago...it is a good thing to respect tradition, but it should not get ridiculous.
DeleteThat 1st pic is stunning. Sounds like she is involved in some great causes. Hope she has a great birthday.

Dear Chel. I'm sure you know of the wonders that "photoshop" can do.
DeleteThese are the social pages for society; we get to see a mix of Royalty ;thankyou for that. I did not know that particular royal household existed. Camilla looks nice; sounds as though she has a sense of community, helping people.
ReplyDeleteDe toutes ces photos, je préfère la deuxième au milieu de ses filles et de ses adorables chiens dont le chiot de couleur blanche ; trop craquant - J'espère qu'elle a eu un très bon et joyeux anniversaire !

ReplyDeleteMay 50th Birthday of Princess Camilla of Bourbon be blessed with peace and love
ReplyDeleteAnother Charles and Camilla?

Happy birthday.

@Anon 9:13. Yes there are two "Camila and Charles".
DeleteIf I had to decide between the Camilla and Charles with the bling-bling Saint-Tropez, Rome, Paris and Monaco life and with their addiction to photo-shop and the Camilla and Charles of the English country life, horses and hounds etc, I'd go for the latter.
She is a beautiful lady, who always looks well groomed and beautifully groomed. Happy Birthday.
