At the time his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, was reportedly worried that the marriage would cause irreparable damage to the monarchy.
That finally put to rest a 2005 royal household plan for Camilla to become Princess Consort when Charles acceded to the throne. “The rehabilitation of Camilla was very successful, and it led to their marriage and it’s been very happy,” he said.Since Elizabeth’s death 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,” said the former UK ambassador to France, Peter Ricketts, speaking in March before the couple’s state visit to Germany.
She first met Prince Charles as a young woman at a polo match in the early 1970s, and they later became close. 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.
