Some even touted conspiracy theories that Camilla had a role in the death of Princess Diana in 1997.

“What happened to Diana?”

The video is posted in view of the royal family’s eight million Instagram followers.

The clip’s caption includes: “Today marks the start of #VolunteersWeek, and whilst this year’s events have been cancelled, volunteers are being recognised for their efforts in tackling the effects of COVID-19.
