Marrying the Bog Lady

Heirloom ... ring from a KingWhen I was a little girl, I read a fascinating article about mummies of human beings who had fallen into bogs years and years ago. These bodies had been preserved well enough to tell quite a bit about them, even though they were centuries old. Well, is it just me or does anyone else see that Camilla Parker Bowles's hand looks like that of a bog lady? I am so distracted by the saggy baggy skin to the left in the picture that the $500,000 rock is hardly noticeable. But then again, I'd much rather look at her hand than at her face.
