“But she is also someone who gets her own way. She didn’t have to be called Queen but she pushed for the title from the moment they got married. It was a case of, if you’re going to be King then I’m going to be Queen."
So Camilla spent all those years lying to the Monarch about her true intentions? Quelle surprise.....
“But Camilla can’t be Queen because she is an adulteress!” I suspect most people saying this do not have blameless sex lives themselves and also likely live in 1900s.
Honestly, I usually take Diana’s side on things.
But Camilla got treated badly too.
“Charles, she isn’t a virgin. You can’t marry her.”

Ya'll it just keeps getting worse. Given all this talk about Charles being a caretaker King, it's becoming pretty obvious who wants to act as Regent and it ain't William
As one royal insider explained at the time: “I think there is a sense that behind the scenes, it’s largely the Queen who is running the show. She makes a lot more decisions than people think, especially with [former aide] Michael Fawcett out of the picture.” The departure of Fawcett in November 2021 devastated the King, who was said to be so reliant on his former valet that he once declared: “I can manage without just about anyone, except for Michael.”
But his absence from the royal court only appears to have strengthened Camilla’s position. “The King does have weaknesses and it’s fair to say that the Queen knows how to exploit them,” added the insider. “But it’s a bigger court now and the King has duties that can’t be ignored and that need the support of the Queen.”
