"The Prince of Wales has donated £2000 to a Catholic church in Belfast that has been at the centre of disputes over loyalist band parades.
..in 1970, when Andrew Parker Bowles began dating Princess Anne; however, Andrew and Camilla later reconciled , marrying in a Roman Catholic ceremony at the Guards Chapel, Wellington Barracks in London".

//his now wife Camilla, the Duchess
of Cornwall.//

I find it interesting that people are unwilling to use her proper title. She is the Princess of Wales but the last person to have that title before her was Diana. So naturally it's taboo to call her that, never mind the protocol...

Diana's untimely and unfortunate death has seen her morph into some sort of weird totemic cult figure so much so that now people think of her as THE Princess of Wales rather than just a Princess of Wales. If people can't stomach the thought of Princess Camilla, how do you think they'll feel about Queen Camilla?

Dear Toni,

The Duchess of Cornwall prefers not to use the title
Princess of Wales because of its strong association
with the late Diana, Princess of Wales and who can
blame her. It brings back the scandal and who needs
that as a reminder. However, I feel that were she to
become Queen she would develop her own claim to that
title and make it her own. That eventually people
would accept her.

"Camella as a female's name is a variant of Camilla (Latin), and the meaning of Camella is "helper to the priest", handmaiden/female of unblemished character attendant in religious ceremonies and rituals including funerals. It ultimately originates as the feminine of camillus, a term for a youth serving as acolyte in the ritual of ancient Roman religion, which may ultimately be of Etruscan origin.
In the Aeneid, Camilla was the name of a princess of the Volsci who was given as a servant to the goddess Diana and raised as a "warrior virgin" of the Amazon type."

"You look a right Charlie in that clown outfit! "
A short, pointed beard, like that of King Charles I.

good old google !
It seems that a camilla was a robe worn by female mourners at Roman funerals . It is silky French cloth.
Camella Robe Midi À Empiècements.
Greek 'chimaera' was a goat-fleece jacket , Papal 'zimara' and Galician-Spain 'zamarra' worn by 'zamarrones' who wore a goat head on their head up to last century. It was French 'chamarre' "fine robe" and became English 'chimere' which in middle ages was a royal robe of 'khamlat' cloth . Khamlat is fine silky goat-wool of Angora goats , 'seil el kemel' . Camulos was a goat-horned god at Camulodonum in Celtic Britain, Belgium and also in Romania. This may connect with Camelot and Celtic kings .

Goats pulled Thor's sky-chariot and Santa Claus probably had camelot undies with his silky red jacket .
Not sure about Thor.
