The resilience and toughness of Queen Camilla have been brought to light once again, as her step-son, Prince Harry, continues to criticize her in his memoir and on television.
Renowned royal biographer Robert Hardman delves into Queen Camilla’s remarkable character in his latest book, “Charles III, New King.
New Court.
The inside story,” shedding light on her transition into her new royal position.
Previously labeled as the most hated woman in Britain by the press, Queen Camilla has managed to win over the hearts of the UK public.
Whether it’s her ability to laugh at herself or her straightforward approach, the British people have embraced their new Queen.
Hardman highlights Queen Camilla’s spark and matter-of-fact attitude, particularly when dealing with Prince Harry’s public outbursts.
In his memoir, “Spare,” Prince Harry claimed that Queen Camilla had sacrificed him on her personal PR altar.
He further expressed his grievances during an interview on American TV.
According to Hardman, Queen Camilla’s response to Prince Harry’s comments reminded her friends of an inner toughness rarely seen since the tumultuous 1990s, when she played a central role in the breakdown of Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s marriage.
In his book, Hardman writes that since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s departure from the United Kingdom, Queen Camilla has been portrayed as the dangerous villainess by Prince Harry.
With her on the path to becoming Queen Consort, there were bound to be casualties along the way, as he revealed during an interview with USA’s 60 Minutes.
Prior to this, Queen Camilla had chosen to remain silent, refusing to engage in selective briefings or allow friends to defend her.
Having spent nearly two decades as a member of the royal family, she believes that the public already has a clear understanding of who she is.
Hardman adds that her response to the criticisms from California would be to carry on with her duties, wearing a smile and saying nothing.
Meanwhile, Queen Camilla is stepping into her new role as the face of the monarchy in her own admirable way, according to royal historian Marlene Koenig.
With King Charles and Princess Kate recovering from their respective surgeries, Queen Camilla will be taking on more royal engagements.
Koenig emphasizes that while she may not be the star of the show, Queen Camilla is a vital support to King Charles as his consort and queen.
She will represent him with grace and charm, as she has always done, and her warm interactions with people continue to draw crowds.
Undoubtedly, there has been a noticeable shift in public perception and acceptance of Queen Camilla.
Her inner strength and unwavering commitment to her royal duties have enabled her to navigate through challenging times, emerging as a respected figure within the British monarchy.
