Queen Camilla is under fire for a recent comment she made to Welsh actress Ruth Jones.
On Saturday, Nov. 14, the Queen and King Charles were visiting South Wales for his 77th birthday celebrations at Cyfarthfa Castle. There, they met with Welsh celebrities, including Jones, an actress who starred in Gavin & Stacey with James Corden from 2007 to 2010.
In a video of the awkward exchange captured by a Daily Mail reporter, the Queen, while shaking Jones's hand, asked, "Haven't you lost masses of weight?"
Jones laughed and replied, "Yes, I have, thank you! I’ve lost a bit of weight!"

On X, royal fans criticized the queen for what they felt was an insensitive remark.
"What [a] thing to say to a complete stranger," wrote one user. "Rich people love talking about people’s weight for some reason." commented another.
"Really just shows her detachment from normal everyday conversation. You dont ask a stranger [if] they've lost masses of weight. Diana would never," added a third. "What a horrible way to put it. Tactless." said a fourth.

In 2011, Jones made headlines in the U.K. after losing nearly 60 pounds.
During a December 2024 episode of the Table Manners podcast hosted by Jessie and Lennie Ware, the actress shared she lost the weight by using a psychological treatment called aversion therapy.
"I hate the word 'struggled' with my weight, but I have been in a battle with my weight all of my life. As long as I can remember. I can't ever remember being slim," Jones said at the time.
"One of my attempts to lose weight was to go to a Paul McKenna workshop. Hypnosis. He said, 'What's your aim?' And I said, 'Look, if I could stop eating chocolate, I'd be fine'. Chocolate was my main thing," she continued.
Jones then explained how McKenna promised her he was going to teach her a technique that would make her stop craving chocolate entirely.
"I was a little bit cynical. You think of something you hate eating, then think of the chocolate and keep alternating. I remembered when they were on the menu in school dinners," she added. "Anyway, it worked. It completely worked. I didn't eat chocolate for five years. I couldn't stand the smell of it."
