Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, caused a panic in Pakistan on Thursday. The duchess unwittingly revealed her ankle inside a mosque.
Camilla visited the Lahore mosque with her husband Prince Charles dressed in modest slacks. However, when Camilla replaced her shoes - which she had removed for the tour in accordance with Muslim tradition - she accidentally tucked her pants' leg into her sock and flashed her ankle.
Her assistant private secretary, Amanda McManus, was heard frantically whispering "Ma'am, ma'am" and then rushed down the steps after her to rectify the wardrobe malfunction.
It is considered disrespectful to Islam for women to show too much skin.
Charles' first wife, the late Princess Diana, caused outrage when she visited the same mosque in 1991 wearing a green wrap dress which stopped above the knee.
Charles and Camilla were shown around the mosque by preacher Maulana Adbul Khabir Azad, whose father was threatened with imprisonment over Diana's visit in 1991.
Fortunately, it is not believed Camilla's mishap will cause the same controversy.
So far the tour has not gone well for Camilla. Earlier this week she was accused of insulting the memory of British servicemen after removing her Remembrance Day poppy pin, claiming it kept catching on her Islamic-style dupatta scarf.
Wardrobe malfunction!
Like she didn't mean to flash some skin. That bimbo.
They ought to be glad it was an ankle and nothing more
Leave her alone Haaaaa
"revealed her ankle inside a mosque"
I got wood, yes yes. Stone the temptress!

I have to disagree. I don't think I ever saw anyone more self-centered, self-absorbed, and utterly selfish than Diana. I think she would have been a horrible Queen. She didn't care about anyone-not her husband, her children, or her country. She was rude to the Queen and treated her husband like dirt. She said she loved Charles, but she only loved him when he did exactly what she wanted. It was all about Diana - first last and always, her looks, her hair, her weight, and oh yes some photo ops with charities. And the only reason the press loved her is because she sold newspapers and magazines for them. They didn't care a whit about her. They used her and used her and used her until there was very little left.
That is HILARIOUS! I can't stop laughing. :-D
Well I disagree. I think Charles is a moron . She was beautiful and she got a raw deal marrying that oddball. She would have been better off marrying someone her own age. As for being rude to the Queen so what? The Queen had to know how mean Charles was. I am sure it wasn't easy for Diana being married to both Camilla and Charles. Diana was well loved for her kindness and her charities. Maybe if she hadn't been so young it would have been better. Charles shouldn't have been such a fraud, he should have married Camilla from the start. I only hope his son becomes King as the man is strange to say the least. I do however agree with what you said....They used her and used her and used her until there was very little left.
Oh, charming.
To the tower with her. Off with her head!
Coming soon to Londonistan.
Oh, heavens, someone who dares question the Diana and her adoration. That's one pedestal you're reaching for.
Cheers!
