Camilla sparks up
Aug 7, 2006, 14:04 GMT
Britain's Prince Charles is furious, because his wife Camilla has started smoking again.
The Duchess of Cornwall quit her 30-a-day habit six months ago after Charles told her she was putting her health at risk.
But Camilla has started puffing again in secret when she stays at her Wiltshire home, Raymill House, without her husband. A source told Britain's The People newspaper: 'Her willpower cracked and she lit up again a few weeks ago. 'Charles is very disappointed and has told her in no uncertain terms that he fears she is shortening her life - particularly as she has been puffing away for so many years. 'But he knows what a strong-headed woman she is and that there is little more he can do. 'At least this time it appears to be an occasional habit - she is nowhere near back to the 30-a-day chain-smoking of old. But he knows how easy it is for that to escalate.' The prince is also worried about his son Harry's failure to give up smoking. Despite enduring rigorous physical training at Sandhurst Military Academy, Harry, 21, refuses to give up cigarettes. The source added: 'There was a real fear about him smoking at Sandhurst. He was urged to ditch it in case it put him at a disadvantage during his training.'Copyright 2006 BANG Media International
