London Bridge is not falling down. Only its junior royals. Its titled seniors — like Camilla — are still living large.
In ’98, I reported how the upper kingly class dissed her. In ’05, I reported on her marrying Charles. In 2026, we’re curtsying to her.
In ’22, she and I had an alone one-on-one home-y conversation. Sighing she flopped down in a chair and said:
“Everyone thinks the royal life is so easy. It’s not. It’s constant demands to be here, do this, open that, show up where. Doesn’t matter if you’re tired or not feeling well. Nobody really cares. So you just pull yourself together and you go. You do it.”
“Worst is the feet. Standing. Walking. And posing in place. There’s that steady pain that won’t go away. Rubbing, massaging your feet won’t really help. When I’m home what I do first is kick off those shoes. Give my toes a break. And I immediately put up my feet. My No. 1 job is to quickly walk around our home barefoot.”
Memories of my first of several experiences with Camilla’s predecessor. The Welsh National Opera, honoring us with their presence, celebrated at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The gala honored Diana, Princess of Wales.
Enough wine and enough fancy ladies needed the john. One that usually serviced the room was cordoned off. Out of service? The reply was, “Yes, to everyone but Princess Diana.”

Dr. Michael Baden, who wrote “American Autopsy” and was for many years NYC’s official coroner, the forensic pathologist and chief medical examiner, who investigated the deaths of Martin Luther King Jr., Medgar Evers, OJ Simpson, George Floyd. He says:
“Suicides are a big problem in prisons. I determined prisoners hang themselves by using the curtain rod in shower rooms. I have since recommended collapsible rods. If the attempt is made the shower rod will break.”
About the OJ case: “The smart legal team mapped out Simpson’s defense strategy. They raised questions about mistakes police made — and they focused their case on race. A lot of things were not done right.”
So this Manhattanite was reading the stock market report and he said to his wife: “Remember that I said I was going to retire at 50? Well, my new retirement age now has to be 102.”
Mainly in New York, kids, mainly in New York.
