Queen Camilla has been King Charles’ steady rock for years. However, that’s different from the public’s opinion of her throughout her time within the royal sphere. The former Parker Bowles didn’t have an easy time being accepted by the public. Two people who had a lot of problems with her getting together with Charles were Prince William and Prince Harry.
Queen Camilla and Prince William don’t appear to have any problems with each other today. They both have had to step up their royal game this year because of King Charles and Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis, and they have deservedly been praised for their work.
But even so, Queen Camilla is still queen and, therefore, higher up in the hierarchy than Prince William and Kate Middleton. Sometimes, she feels the couple isn’t respecting the king, and a new book suggests that Camilla reminds William and Kate of it. Actually, once, she made it very clear who was in charge when she left the couple stranded.
Queen Camilla’s popularity among the public has gone from zero to 100. Years ago, she became the ‘evil’ person who many blamed for King Charles and Princess Diana’s failed marriage. As she and Charles began dating—and later married—after the princess’ tragic death in Paris in 1997, many had problems accepting her entrance into the royal family.
