Dubya bars Camilla from White House ..because she is a divorcee
By Paul Gilfeather Political Editor
GEORGE Bush has banned Camilla Parker Bowles from the White House - because she is a divorcee.
The unprecedented snub has effectively sabotaged Charles's plan to take his bride on a Royal tour of America later this year.
The trip would have been the pair's first official tour as a married couple.
But the US President - a notoriously right-wing Christian and reformed alcoholic - told aides it was "inappropriate" for him to be playing host to the newly-weds, who are both divorcees.
The decision was made even though the late President Ronald Reagan was divorced.
A Government insider said: "It was relayed to us from Washington that Mrs Parker Bowles would not be welcome at the White House.
"The Americans are aware that the visit will be subject to a lot of media attent ion and did not want the President drawn into what they view to be a public relations exercise.
"It's now uncertain if the visit will even go ahead."
