For a long time, when People mentioned Camilla, the wife of Crown Prince Charles, they always felt that she was a third party who broke someone else's marriage. She continued to be criticized after marrying into the royal family, but she was good at dispelling ridicule, defusing external attacks into invisibility, and silently paying for the royal family, and finally receiving royal recognition.
Camilla was born into a wealthy family in 1947, and her father was a British army major and deputy honorary representative of the monarch in East Sussex. This origin could have made her the envy of everyone, but she grew up with a rough road and became Charles's mistress. Confident and popular with men as a teenager, she may never have thought that she would be like this in the future. Camilla's appearance may not be a third of Diana's, but her kindness and frankness, as well as her attitude of being treated with people, make her full of charm and deeply attract Charles.
When Camilla first met Charles at the age of 24, she did not shy away from joking about their family ugliness. She said to Charles: My great-grandmother and your great-grandfather were lovers, how's it going?" Charles was accustomed to others talking to him respectfully, and her "true temperament" and humor made his eyes light up.
Camilla's great-grandmother (Alice Keppel) was the mistress of Charles Gogh's grandfather (Edward VII). Becoming a public mistress, Charles fell in love with the odd woman, but the two subsequently married each other. The infatuated Charles once begged Camilla not to marry anyone else. After marriage, the two did not break off contact, and their feelings continued to deepen. Charles admitted in 1994 that the two were having an affair. Many believe that Camilla caused Diana's unhappy marriage to Charles, and she was responsible for Diana's death.
Although with the passage of time, neither public opinion nor the media have rarely talked about this love triangle, but you know that I know that she also knows that the label of a third party who intervened in the marriage of Charles and Diana has always existed. Nor could she know how the people who had received her in public and talked and laughed with her viewed her at the center.
She is still as open-minded as she was when she was young, and even laughs openly about this relationship. The Guardian said on February 7, 2022, that when she was at an event, she said that there was only one thing in her life that was worse than being talked about, and that is that no one talked about you, and then laughed and said: This is one of the aphorisms of the great 19th-century writer Oscar Wilde, and I'm not sure I'll agree with it completely.
If she is not accepted, she is recognized as a "bad woman", she does not have a grudge against people who hate her, she does not have a sense of revenge, and she does not imply that she does not like anyone who has ever been hostile to her. She knew that she would not be accepted for a short time, so she would live her life.
When she married Charles in 2005, she was notoriously married. Instead of the title of Princess of Wales, she was renamed Duchess of Cornwall (Camilla) and began to perform royal duties diligently.
Many tabloids in britain used her as material for some time. What they don't report much about is that she is also a patron, president or member of numerous charities and organizations. Since 1994, Camilla has been working to raise awareness of osteoporosis, which has earned her several honors and awards. She also raised awareness of rape, sexual abuse, literacy, animal welfare and poverty.
She knew how bumpy the road to integration into the royal family was, so when she met her daughter-in-law Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, who was in a similar situation and equally unpopular with the people, she decided to help her with all her heart.
When Meghan and Prince Harry announced their engagement in November 2017, Camilla, the "comer," who had high-profile support for her future daughter-in-law from the United States, told reporters: "America's loss is our gain." We were all very pleased. As you can see, they (Megan and Harry) are happy.
The Mirror quoted sources close to Meghan in October 2021 as saying that Camilla took Meghan to a private luncheon and gave her advice and advice on how to cope with the pressure of becoming a member of the royal family. After they attend Charles's 70th birthday party together, Camilla holds Megan's hand and kisses her goodbye, which shows that the two are close.
Unfortunately, Meghan eventually chose to leave royal life and live with Harry in the United States. Camilla, who hates iron and steel, must then share the official duties they were originally responsible for with other families.
Camilla's inability to integrate into the British royal family may disappoint Camilla, but Camilla's efforts for the royal family are still obvious to all. The Daily Express quoted royal expert Russell Myers on January 28, 2022, as saying that Camilla had become one of the most popular members of the royal family after learning all the skills of her career in public office from Prince Philip. Queen Elizabeth II also acknowledged Camilla's contribution, expressing the hope that her wife would become queen when she celebrated her 70th anniversary on 6 February 2022.
