For someone whose former last name was commonly mistaken for “Bowels,” one would think that Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, would want to avoid subjects of a posterior nature. Not so, after she claimed that President Joe Biden “broke wind” in front of her at the climate change summit in Glasgow on Monday.
“It was long and loud and impossible to ignore,” said a source from close — but not too close — to the incident. The Mail on Sunday reported that the offending flatulence escaped during a reception at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery in downtown Glasgow.
It’s hard not to crack jokes like, “More like FART gallery, am I right?” But the public hasn’t taken well to Camilla’s apparent inability to forget about the gassed-up story. “Camilla hasn’t stopped talking about it,” the source for the Mail said.
It’s hard to imagine what’s got her so worked up about it. She has had more than enough scandal in her life, stealing the most popular member of English royalty’s husband decades ago. Why she would want to keep talking about something like this?
The public has certainly passed… judgment:
This reflects far more poorly on Camilla than it does on Biden. It’s just bad manners. https://t.co/OmZXdnRkmR

Going on and on about someone farting is pretty childish.

Sooo British Royalty no longer have any class? Can someone explain the point of them in present day if they are incapable of soft power? Being diplomatic?
When did British Royalty become so crass? Tampongate? Allowing racist attacks on H&M’s baby to stand? Just sad.

I mean….it is just childish. I thought the royals were supposed to be representatives of the country and behave like diplomats? How is this nonsense achieving that? Also, don't know how leaking this to a tabloid helps relations with the president and also that Trade deal.. ♀️

Unfortunately we all guilty of wind breaking as probably the elderly or certain individuals find it difficult to contain it. It’s a function that is made fun of. Silent or loud deadly ones! None of us are Saints . It’s like halitosis,it’s an affliction.

For a country and family that needs all the allies they can get this is something she should've not ran to press with. There won't be call for title removal of course

Seriously, how do we know that ANY of this is true? First of all, it's from the Daily Mail…. Furthermore, what an easy lie to make up–it's rude and embarrassing and no one involved (if anyone actually is) will want to discuss it. ♀️

What kind of so-called professional wife of a head of state behaves like this. It’s so childish

The best thing for Camilla to do before this all gets out of hand is simply to call President Biden and clear the air.
