What I thought was admirable was the charming story of an elderly New Zealand Woman who started up a campaign many years ago, a 'anti-hate' campaign defending Camilla, and she was invited to the wedding!
Quote:
An elderly New Zealand woman, who for years has run a "be nice to Camilla" campaign, has been invited to the royal wedding.
"I'm still having trouble believing it," the 73-year-old grandmother told the Sunday Star-Times when she showed them her gilt-edged invitation to next Friday's festivities when Prince Charles marries Camilla Parker Bowles.
The woman, from the small South Island town of Greymouth, refused to be identified but her invitation showed she will be among 800 guests invited to the "service of prayer and dedication" at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle after the couple marry in a private civil ceremony.
Fed up with negative media coverage about Charles and Camilla, the woman said she began sending clippings and letters to Camilla Parker Bowles nine years ago when "somebody wrote something nice".
Her pen-friendship was rewarded four weeks ago when the invitation arrived by Royal Post.
"I cried all day to think just because I'd tried to be ordinarily kind and caring I'd made Camilla Parker Bowles feel grateful enough to invite me," she said.
