DID NOT LIKE TO BE IN THE SHADOW
Experts who have been following the royal family for years and who know their insides very well, also discussed the answer to this question, which was asked by everyone, especially after Charles came to the throne. According to one view, there is more than one reason why Charles abandoned even a young and beautiful woman like Diana for Camilla and never left her. The most important of these is that Camilla always stays one step behind her husband. I mean, not stealing a part from Charles. Diana, on the other hand, had been “stealing roles” from her husband, especially wherever they went together, from the very first time she joined the family. He always gathered the gaze and the love of the people on himself. This situation disturbed Charles, who did not like to stay in the background in the shadow of his wife.

CAMILLA NEVER STEAL A ROLE
However, in this respect, Camilla is different from Diana. First of all, she was not a popular person because of her being the “second woman”. Moreover, he was not worried about coming to the fore, overshadowing Charles. He is one of the features that makes him indispensable in Charles’ eyes.
HE WAS CAREFUL
Another reason is Camilla’s patience. Going on the press, more importantly, the British royal family; He didn’t even react harshly to the Queen’s years of ignoring him. After finally being accepted by the Queen, she patiently waited and worked hard to win the heart of her husband, Prince Philip. Already at some point, Philip realized that he and Camilla had common passions, and they heated up. By the way, let’s note that these common passions are gardening and reading.

NO SAME CAN LEFT YOU FOR HIM: Angela Levin’s book ‘Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall: From Outcast to Queen Consort’ features a striking chapter that reveals Philip’s view of both Diana and Camilla. . In 1992, Philip expressed his ideas about Camilla in some letters to his daughter-in-law, Diana, with whom he got along very well. In one of these letters, Prince Philip wrote that “Charles was an idiot for risking everything for Camilla”. Philip’s letters also included the following striking lines: “Elizabeth and I never imagined that she would leave you for Camilla. I can’t imagine anyone in their right mind leaving you for Camilla.”
THE SECRET OF HAPPY MARRIAGE ACCORDING TO CAMILLA
Beyond all this, there is another feature that makes Camilla indispensable in Charles’ eyes. According to the results of what he says in the interviews he rarely gives, Camilla provides Charles with the peaceful environment he is looking for. Earlier this year, Camilla gave an interview to British Vogue magazine for her 75th birthday. She told some details about their home life at the time. He even revealed the secret of a happy marriage: Couples make time for each other! So this is Camilla’s own secret.
WE CREATE OPPORTUNITIES TO SPEND TIME TOGETHER
Camilla explained that Charles, who was still a prince at the time of giving the interview, and she, as working family members, had difficulties in balancing work and private life from time to time. However, she added that they created an opportunity to spend time together. According to Camilla, despite all their busy schedules, they sit together and engage in a conversation that makes the most of the day.
“It’s not always easy, but when we come together we always try to find a common point. We always sit together, talk about the day we spent with a cup of tea,” Camilla said.
Charles and Camilla got married in 2005. In addition to the Queen, the bride and groom’s children from previous marriages also attended the ceremony.
‘YOU DON’T HAVE TO TALK TO EACH OTHER’
In the meantime, he also gave some tips for couples to spend quality time together in that interview. He described how sometimes they sat in different corners of the same room and immersed themselves in the books they were reading. He added that it was extremely comforting. He continued: “You don’t have to talk. Just sit down and spend time together.”
‘HE WAS MY QUEEN’
Charles did not ignore his wife in his first speech after he became king. He said he counted on Camilla’s loving help during his tenure. Then, he officially expressed his love for her by saying, “She has become my consort queen as a tribute to her public service since our marriage 17 years ago.”
THE FAMILY ALWAYS ISN’T HIM: Let’s take a look again at the chapter in Levin’s book about Camilla. The “challenge” of her life for Camilla, who is now the Consort Queen with her husband’s accession to the throne, was to get the Queen to accept herself as his son’s wife, that is, his daughter-in-law. Queen Elizabeth II was very clear about this at the beginning, and it was annoying that Charles did not leave Camilla unequivocally, and that he continued his stubbornness on this issue for years. And that’s not all… As Charles celebrated his 50th birthday in 1998, he thought he had a good opportunity to get Camilla accepted into his family. For her birthday party, her sons William and Harry sent the Queen a handwritten invitation to celebrate their father’s special day. But the Queen refused to enter a setting where Camilla was present. He was joined by his wife, Prince Philip.
IN FIRST TALK AS KING, HE SPEAKED OF HIM
But it looks like Camilla won in the end. In 2005, she married Charles, whom she met in the 1970s and never gave up, although both were married to other people. Although it was not like this at first, the view of both the family and the public towards him changed over time. Of course, she never took Diana’s place, but at least she won enough of Charles’ love to publicly call her “my consort queen”.
HE HAS TWO CHILDREN AND FIVE grannies: Camilla Rosemary Shand, with her full name, was born on July 17, 1947 in London. She was first married to Andrew Parker Bowles between 1973 and 1995. She gave birth to two children, Laura, 44, and Tom, 47, from this marriage. Camilla’s daughter, who is married to Harry Lopes, has three children. His son Tom is married to Sara Parker Bowles. The couple has two children. So Camilla has five grandchildren from her first marriage.
‘She’s NOT YOUR STEP-FATHER, IT’S MY FATHER’S WIFE’
Let’s see how Charles’ two sons, William and Harry, look at Camilla. The two brothers maintain a “political” relationship with their father’s second wife, Camilla, according to royal experts and Angela Levin’s allegations in her book. They apply the rules of courtesy in public, but it cannot be said that they are very warm between them. Even Levin has a claim on this subject. Accordingly, William has been trying for years to “remember” who Camilla is to his three children, George, Charlotte and Louis. According to the lines in Angela Levin’s book, William told his three children: “Camilla is not your step-grandmother. My father’s wife. There are two grandfathers and one grandmother.”
‘TWO GRAND FAMILY’
One of the two grandparents William mentions is his own father, Prince Charles, and the other is his wife Kate’s father, Michael Middleton. The only grandmother is his wife’s mother, Carole Middleton.
