of Charles' mother, Queen Elizabeth II, last year, the causes Camilla has supported for years have been given a much bigger platform."She's been very low profile in the UK in recent decades. Now she has a moment to come more into the spotlight," said the former UK ambassador to France, Peter Ricketts.
Camilla's improved press was largely a reflection of"the genuine person" rather than a reported palace spin operation aimed at making her more acceptable to the public as Charles' queen, he said.it was her"sincere wish" that Camilla be known as Queen Consort after her death. Self-confident and attractive, she first met Prince Charles as a young woman at a polo match in the early 1970s, and they later became close.
Later, as the royal marriage crumbled, Charles and Camilla rekindled their relationship. Camilla and Andrew Parker Bowles divorced in 1995, a year before Charles and Diana.
