Queen Camilla Asks Actress Ruth Jones If She's Lost 'Masses of Weight'
Queen Camilla’s comment on Ruth Jones’s notable 60-pound weight loss during a South Wales visit created an awkward moment widely shared online.
- On Friday, November 14, Queen Camilla asked Ruth Jones, Gavin & Stacey co-writer and actress, if she had recently lost a lot of weight during a visit to Cyfarthfa Castle, South Wales, filmed by a Daily Mail reporter.
- Earlier in her career, Ruth Jones credited aversion therapy and hypnotist Paul McKenna for her 2011 weight loss, which took 22 months. She said she focused on portion control and calorie monitoring, not fad diets.
- Video shared on X by the Daily Mail royal editor shows Queen Camilla greeting Ruth Jones, who laughed and acknowledged losing weight after the Queen’s remark last Friday.
- Observers criticised the remark as an etiquette breach and noted public unease, describing it as a social etiquette misstep that drew attention to commenting on weight and referencing Queen Camilla's recent incident involving Princess Kate Middleton and Melania Trump.
- The exchange took place amid heightened attention to the royal tour and the monarch’s health during the South Wales visit, while Ruth Jones’s recent 2025 BAFTA win increased interest.
