Diana Parkes reunited with Queen Camilla on the Isle of Man

Queen Camilla visited the Isle of Man on 20th March, where she was once again reunited with Diana Parkes.

Her Majesty’s visit was in commemoration of conferring City Status to Douglas on behalf of The King, who has had to scale back his public engagements following his cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatment.

Douglas was one of eight towns to be granted city status in May 2022 as part of the celebrations for Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee, alongside Bangor, Colchester, Doncaster, Dunfermline, Milton Keynes, Stanley and Wrexham.

At Government House, The Queen spent around 45 minutes with Diana in a private Audience. Her Majesty was also introduced to the trustees of the Joanna Simpson Foundation.
