LONDON: Queen Consort Camilla is taking her first steps on the international stage as wife of the British monarch, marking the end of a long and sometimes bumpy journey from palace margins to royal limelight.
Camilla, 75, will be at King Charles III's side when he makes the first state visit of his reign to Germany on Wednesday.In the turbulent 1990s, Camilla was vilified as 'the other woman' in Charles's marriage to his first wife, Princess Diana.But she has slowly won acceptance — if not adulation — for her steadfast support for her husband and an unshowy dedication to good causes.
'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's queen, he said.The royal seal of approval for Camilla came last year when the late queen said it was her 'sincere wish' that Camilla be known as Queen Consort after her death.
