How King Charles and Camilla's 'All-Conquering Love' Has Affected the Public's Perception of Her (Exclusive)

King Charles III and Queen Camilla's romance is an «all-conquering love that's left a lot of collateral damage,» Patrick Jephson told ET on Friday.

Jephson, now a journalist, also served as Princess Diana's private secretary in the 1980s and '90s.«The polls are fairly unequivocal at this point,» Jephson told ET's Kevin Frazier. «I saw two just recently, one said 14 percent approved of [Camilla] being made queen and the other poll said 10 percent, so whichever way you look at it, a lot of people aren't entirely happy with Camilla being called queen and there is a reason for that.» Jephson explained that Camilla's life in the royal spotlight continues to be tainted by its dramatic beginnings. «There's been a hell of a semantic game that the palace has played,» he said, pointing to the ways that Camilla was, for years, labeled an «indispensable friend» to Charles when the public would later learn the two were having an affair during Charles' marriage to Diana.

Jephson also pointed out the palace had at one time said Charles would never remarry, that Camilla would «never be called a princess,» and that «he remarries, she will be called Duchess of Cornwall, if he becomes king, she'll be called the Princess Consort.» Of course, all these plans proved untrue — Camilla became the Queen Consort upon Queen Elizabeth II's death, and the coronation's invitation later indicated she will now use the title, «Queen Camilla.» Jephson attributed the changes to Charles and Camilla's «all-conquering love.» «It's an all-conquering love, and that leaves a lot of people uneasy, me included,» Jephson said, but added that Camilla «is not queen in the sense that Queen Elizabeth was queen, she's not Queen Regnant, she's Queen Consort, even though.
