LONDON: As the head of Britain’s royal family is slowly changing the guard Queen Elizabeth II Withdrew from public events due to her advanced age and health.
The eldest son and heir of the 95-year-old emperor, Charles, the Prince of Wales, has been carrying a heavy burden of official duties for many years, including overseas.
but his wife, Camilla, is rapidly taking the field, online and now in person, during the coronavirus pandemic restrictions over the past year, after the restrictions were lifted.
Joining the couple in the royal pawn is Charles’ eldest son from his first marriage. Princess Diana, William and his wife Kate.
As a result, he has earned a great deal of media coverage that earlier went to the emperor, who was advised rest by doctors.
His presence at events – from the world premiere of the latest James Bond film to meeting world leaders at the G7 and UN climate summits – is a clear sign of change to come.
Majesty Magazine’s managing editor Joe Little told AFP his visibility “will intensify within the fullness of time”.
“But a lot of people are now familiar with Camilla and getting to know her,” he said.
Camilla, 74, also known as the Duchess of Cornwall, will become wife when Charles, 72, takes the throne. William, 39, will move up the line of succession as heiress.
Only a few years ago, a different “Fab Four” was touted as the future of Britain’s most famous family: William and Kate with their younger brother Harry and his wife Meghan.
But plans changed dramatically last year when Harry and Meghan moved to the United States, where they criticized the family and even accused them of racism.
The rise of Camilla – once a figure hated for being the “other woman” at Charles and Diana’s wedding – has been remarkable.
Royal historian Anna Whitlock told the Daily Express: “His condition has certainly evolved and there has been a large and very long process of rehabilitation … he was described as this Rottweiler at the time of Diana.”
When the world went online, Camilla, like other royals, was forced into a more public role by the coronavirus pandemic.
But she nailed the role perfectly and won fans over, even though in the eyes of some she can never be forgiven for her role in the fallout of Charles and Diana’s marriage.
“There are a lot of Camilla supporters out there,” Little said.
“It makes sense that she is coping with this very well. She has been a member of the royal family for 16 years, so she has a lot of experience in high-profile things…
“She’s become very skilled at it.”
Since the death of the queen’s husband of 73 years, Prince PhilipIn April, Camilla has been seen and heard more often at official royal events and charity events.
This week she accompanied Charles – a longtime environmentalist – at the UN COP26 summit in Glasgow, urging world leaders to stop runaway climate change.
Last month she and Charles, who married in 2005, supported the Queen at the official opening of the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh and the Welsh Assembly in Cardiff.
She was also present when the monarch held her first formal engagement since her husband’s death – the state opening of parliament in May.
In the coming weeks, the couple will go on the first royal overseas tour since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, visiting Egypt, which will host COP27, and Jordan.
Camilla’s presence elsewhere reflects her varied interests, from promoting literacy through her popular Instagram book club to promoting rescue animals.
She gave a well-received speech and endorsed the campaign to combat violence against women, coinciding with an endorsement given by Kate earlier this year.
Camilla has also made several television and radio appearances, talking about her mother’s battle with osteoporosis and her love of gardening and horse breeding.
Reports have it that she may soon take on a larger role as one of the “advisors of the kingdom”, asking a group of senior royals to join if the Queen cannot perform her official duties. has been appointed for.
Speculation has intensified as Charles and William along with other advisers – Prince Andrew and Harry – are no longer serving the royals.
“The Queen may want to add the Duchess of Cornwall, who will become state counsel if Charles is king,” Craig Prescott, a constitutional expert at Bangor University, told the Mail on Sunday.
