Duchess Camilla Slams Beyonce's Videos

November 27. 2009

Duchess Camilla of Cornwall (Britain), wife of Prince Charles of Wales, has slammed modern artists such as Beyonce, for the lewd and violent imagery in their videos. I agree, as it is not helping anyone.

Case in point, for all the lascivious and violent publicity stunts that took place at the American Music Awards this past Sunday, a fully clothed and docile Whitney Houston delivered the best performance.

People do not want to be shocked and repulsed. They want to be entertained by people with talent. You are not electricity, stop trying to shock people. 

Camilla condemns Beyoncé's 'terrifying' gangster rap videos for glorifying sex and violence

11:42 AM on 27th November 2009 - Concerned Camilla: The Duchess of Cornwall listens to the story of a client at the Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Centre in London last night. The Duchess of Cornwall yesterday spoke for the first time about the way youngsters are sexualised by explicit rap videos.

Camilla was taking part in a discussion with victims of sexual violence during a visit to a rape crisis centre when the topic turned to how music videos affect teenagers today. She told an audience of women that children thought they could get away with things because teachers failed to punish them.

Referring to the images children are exposed to, the Duchess said: 'A lot of those videos are terrifying. 'I am sure they trigger a response in some of the young people. I can never understand how they can get away with making those things.' 

During the discussions, the subject turned to a controversial video by pop singer Beyonce, who is particularly popular with young girls.
