There was something about Camilla’s entrance into Wimbledon’s royal box that really got people’s goat – 13 smashing takedowns
You don’t have to be a royal to sit in Wimbledon’s royal box, but it helps.
Joining Hugh Grant – a proper national institution – in the royal box on Wednesday was Camilla, Queen Camilla or Queen Consort Camilla (delete according to taste).
The BBC posted the video of her grand (well, grand-ish) entrance and there was something about it that got people’s goat. Really got people’s goat.

Spotted it yet? Everything is open to interpretation of course but whatever the truth, these people all saw it one way.

Is it me or is one of the ladies in waiting basically ordering people to stand up? https://t.co/5gSZ5DEpGX

That lady in the back motioning for people to stand up. Utterly pathetic. The fact that you bow down to that nasty woman is shameful.
