How Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, won over the queen after a ‘frosty start’: royal expert

LONDON – Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, does not show emotion. It's in her nature to remain stoic. But, earlier this year, came floods of tears — and rightly so — as she was publicly announced as the queen consort to Prince Charles by the express wishes of Her Majesty The Queen.

This, according to a close source, was "beyond anything she had expected simply because it came from the woman she most admires and reveres in every aspect — the queen."  "It’s pretty obvious to all that Camilla has worked hard and shown her devotion to the crown, not just through her love for Prince Charles but in the diligent work she has undertaken over the 17 years of marriage.

But to receive this from the queen left her in shock and delight," the source told me. "Camilla can well up just speaking about it."  The queen recently announced Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, will be referred to as queen consort to Prince Charles when he becomes king.

"She is kind, concerned and looks after all manner of our little furry friends, from hedgehogs in her garden to her beloved dogs.
