King’s Coronation Part Of Long Evolution For Queen Camilla

King’s Coronation Part Of Long Evolution For Queen Camilla

Prince Charles, Camilla Rosemary Shand and Vikki Keys,

When Camilla, Britain’s queen consort, is crowned alongside her husband next week, the moment will mark the culmination of a remarkable – and painstakingly slow – transformation over five decades of a figure once reviled as the other woman and considered a huge liability to the British monarchy.

With the coronation of King Charles III days away and his first seven months on the throne under his belt, many in Britain have grown to accept Camilla, though some experts and observers say she will always walk in the shadow of her past.

The editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, Ingrid Seward said:

“Without really trying too hard, but just by giving it time and going gently, gently, she has managed to show people the real person that she is — that she’s not this villainess, and that she’s there to do the hard work. But the most important thing about Camilla is the way she appears to support her husband and back him up”.

Ingrid Seward

Camilla, 75, was mercilessly torn apart by the tabloids for years. Seward said she earned respect by putting her head down and steadily getting on with her duties. She’s won over much of the British public with her down-to-earth personality and her charitable work, notably against domestic violence, rape, and sexual abuse — causes she says she’ll continue to support as queen.

But some say she’ll never fully shake her reputation as the third person in the marriage between Charles and Princess Diana.

Arianne Chernock, a professor specializing in modern British history at Boston University said:

“I would actually argue that she still is the other woman, and probably will remain the other woman. Diana will very much be a presence in the room in Westminster Abbey on May 6 — I think it’s hard not to see her when you look at Charles and Camilla.

“And the challenge remains even going forward, even as Queen Camilla, which at one point would have been unthinkable”.

The British royal family’s acceptance of Camilla as queen consort

Camilla Rosemary Shand — born July 17, 1947, to a family with long links with Britain’s royal family — reportedly first met Charles at a polo match in 1970, when she was 23. The pair quickly became close, but their romance was interrupted when Charles went on naval duty.

In his absence, Camilla married her longtime boyfriend, army officer Andrew Parker-Bowles, in 1973. Charles married Diana in 1981. In the early ′90s, Diana went public with her resentment of Charles and Camilla’s relationship. The sensational details that followed caused an embarrassing scandal for the royal family.

Camilla and her husband divorced in 1995, shortly after Charles gave an explosive television interview admitting the affair. Charles and Diana divorced the following year. In 1997, Diana died in a car crash; a global outpouring of grief followed. Camilla and Charles waited until 2005 to marry in a private civil ceremony.

Mindful of lingering public hostility toward Camilla, palace officials cautiously managed her public appearances over the decades. Camilla made dozens of official visits with charities each year, and her warm personality and ease at connecting with people no doubt helped her image makeover; those who’ve met her often describe her as warm, unstuffy, and likable.

Seward said:

“When you meet her, she doesn’t appear to be aloof in any way whatsoever. She’s just always the same as she was. And I think this is probably one of her biggest assets”.

Sensitivity about Camilla’s status as Charles’ second wife long made the question of what title she’d hold when he became king a subject of contention. Queen Elizabeth II settled the matter last year when she gave the blessing for Camilla to be known as queen consort. The endorsement was widely seen as a formal sign that the royal family had finally accepted Camilla as a respected senior member.

Earlier this month, Buckingham Palace’s official coronation invitations referred to Camilla as “Queen Camilla” for the first time. Queen consorts do not formally share the sovereign’s powers, and dropping the “consort” part of the title won’t change that. Nonetheless, the change marked another step in Camilla’s long road to rehabilitating her image.

Chernock said:

“But the change in her title does not necessarily suggest full public approval. Camilla, regardless of what she does, will always be divisive”.

In March, Camilla dazzled crowds at her first state visit as queen consort, donning a diamond tiara belonging to the Queen Mother and a diamond necklace from Elizabeth II for a state banquet in Berlin.

Her image makeover hit a snag when her stepson, Prince Harry, stirred up old grievances and painted her as a schemer who played “the long game,” with a campaign aimed at “marriage and eventually the crown.”

In his memoir “Spare” and in interviews promoting the book, Harry accused Camilla of trading private information about him and others to the media as part of a drive to forge friendly relationships with journalists and improve her reputation.

Harry said he and his elder brother, Prince William, had urged their father not to marry Camilla, but both reluctantly accepted her into their lives.
