In an interview, Duchess Camilla speaks about her mother’s osteoporosis. The Duchess of Cornwall has been campaigning for education about the disease for years.
Duchess Camilla (74) spoke openly about her mother Rosalind Shand’s osteoporosis in an interview with the BBC.
“We just watched it shrink before our eyes,” said Camilla in an excerpt from the interview that was published on the Clarence House Instagram account on Sunday. The full interview will be broadcast on Monday on the BBC Morning Live program, the clip said.
Her mother visited various doctors, Camilla reported in the video. However, they always justified the symptoms with their age. It was also particularly bad that no one in the family knew about the disease. “At some point we asked ourselves: is she just making a fuss about it?” Shand’s pain was already so bad that she sometimes cried out when touched. Once her mother broke a rib with a hug, the Duchess reported.
The Duchess of Cornwall has been promoting education about the disease for years as President of the National Osteoporosis Society in England. The painful metabolic disease causes the density of the bones to decrease further and further. Camilla’s mother died of osteoporosis in 1994. Her grandmother had died of the disease eight years earlier.
