Camilla Parker Bowles, Duchess of Cornwall, admitted that finding time to spend with Prince Charles was "not easy" due to his high working hours.
"Sometimes it's not easy, but we do always try to meet at a point in the day," Camilla recounts her day-to-day work with the future king.
"Sometimes it's like a boat passing by at night, but we always sit together with a cup of tea and discuss the day." She continued. When we had a little time, it was great to catch up. You know when we left, the best thing was that we were actually sitting in different corners of the same room reading our books. It's very relaxing because you know you don't have to have a conversation. Just sit back together.
Camilla, 74, and Prince of Wales, 73, both had a relationship before they both married each other, with Bowers marrying Andrew Parker Bowles, a British Army officer who divorced in 1995.
Prince Charles went on to marry Princess Diana and welcomed william and Harry's sons in 1982 and 1984. The two separated in 1992 and formally divorced in 1996 due to infidelity.
Camilla was largely embroiled in the drama of the royal court, with many people standing aside, especially after Diana's death in 1997.
"It wasn't easy," she said of the backlash from the public at the time. "I've been scrutinized for a long time and you just have to find a way to live. No one likes to be looked at all the time, you know, criticized and... But I think in the end I kind of went beyond it. You have to keep living. ”
She did so and married Prince Charles in 2005 and has been conscientious in her royal duties ever since, recently joining her husband in place of the Queen at the Royal Ascot Event, which was unable to attend due to the Queen's health.
In February this year, the Queen officially supported Camilla becoming the future Queen when Charles ascended the throne one day, and the Duchess said that she was "very honoured and very touched". Years of hard work were finally recognized by the Queen, and Camilla didn't know if there was a feeling of bitterness.
