At the end of the millennium, no one would have believed that Camilla Parker Bowles could one day be among the “less problematic” members of the British royal family. And it happened. The one-time hated lover of Prince Charles has celebrated her 75th birthday and is preparing to be dubbed “Queen Consort” by the nation one day.

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, celebrated the semi-rounds very modestly, in the circle of the closest family. The woman whose name caused passionate reactions among Britons at the end of the millennium hosted a small dinner at the Highgrove House residence in southwest England. She celebrated, of course, with Prince Charles, her husband, and then with her children Laura and Tom, who she has from her first marriage to British Army officer Andrew Parker Bowles.
The Duchess’s sister Annabel Elliot was also planning to attend the small celebration. The names of the other guests have not been published by the British media, but Camilla herself recently said with her own immediacy that the celebration will be very small, because “everyone has some commitments. “Families don’t just sit down to dinner together these days,” The Guardian quoted her as saying. “I am old and I remember that in the old days we sat together and ate. Now everyone has some commitments. It annoys me a little,” the woman, who goes by the name Milla, added honestly. However, in recent years it has received a number of names.

A radioactive lover, the laziest woman on the islands and a babochlap. In the past decades, Camilla Parker Bowles has heard and especially read in the tabloids a lot of epithets, with which the British people showered her. Many – quite rightly – blamed her for the collapse of the marriage of Crown Prince Charles and the adored Diana, Princess of Wales.
The truth is that Queen Elizabeth II’s eldest son, now seventy-three-year-old Charles, has had a soft spot for Camilla since his youth. Well, not so much a weakness, he was simply in love with her. By the way, their romance is said to have started with flirting, when she turned to him at a garden event with the words: “My great-grandmother was your great-grandfather’s lover, what do you think?” In the early seventies of the last century, they even dated and wanted to get married, but that would Charles was not allowed to be heir to the British throne. The Crown decided that Camilla Rosemary Shand, daughter of Major Bruce Shand and Rosalind Cubitt, was not a suitable enough match for the future king, which the lovers took hard, but they relented and separated.

Camilla almost immediately married the British officer Andrew Parker Bowles, Charles married Diana Spencer from a “more suitable” family eight years later, which Camilla’s “friend” helped him choose, among others. However, it turned out that at the end of the twentieth century, a good family tree was no longer enough, and the marriage that produced Princes William and Harry ended in a dramatic divorce in 1996. “There were three of us in that marriage,” the wounded Princess Diana admitted in subsequent interviews. The nail in the coffin of the marriage was the declassified phone conversations between Prince Charles and Camilla. Yes, the ones where he confessed that he wanted to be “a tampon in her body.”
After the divorce from Diana, Charles started seeing his “friend” again. She was also divorced, having ended the marriage a year earlier, although she had not lived with her husband in the same household for almost ten years.

Radioactive lover
After the tragic death of Princess Diana in 1997, the opposition to Charles’s lover grew even more, and it took many years for the public to come to terms with the British woman, whose sense of dry and cynical humor Charles, who is two years younger, has always more than admired. It was also helped by the employment of a top PR manager who once worked for The Daily Mail, who tried to improve the tarnished reputation of the “radioactive mistress”. He did well, and when Charles married Camilla in 2005, there was already a lot of hand-waving about it. Also at that time, many were focusing their attention on the young princes William and Harry, who were slowly growing up.
Once divorced, Camilla did not take the title of Princess of Wales after her remarriage, but Duchess of Cornwall, to which the title of Duchess of Edinburgh was added following the death of the Queen’s husband, Prince Philip, last year. During her almost 20-year marriage with Charles, she manages to avoid scandals, which, on the other hand, are swirling around other members of the royal family, including the Queen’s other son, Prince Andrew, or the grandson of Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle. A modest birthday dinner in one’s own residence also testifies to this.
You can’t say that the British love Camilla, but they got used to it. Like Queen Elizabeth II, who made a surprise announcement in February – giving her an early birthday present – that when Charles becomes king, Camilla will not just have the title of Princess Consort, as previously thought, but the traditional title of Queen Consort, i.e. queen consort. In the 1990s, almost no one would have bet on that.
