Palace insider shares rare insight into their deep bond
A royal aide has provided a rare glimpse into Queen Camilla’s devotion to King Charles, revealing the sacrifices she made to be by his side.
According to Newsweek, Camilla never sought royal titles or status—her only desire was to be with the man she loved. A palace source shared, “It wasn't the role or title—whether as Duchess of Cornwall or Queen—that appealed to her, it was being with the man she loved.”
Her commitment meant taking on royal duties at a stage in life when many of her peers were enjoying retirement. Despite public scrutiny, particularly from supporters of the late Princess Diana, Camilla has embraced her responsibilities with “a lot of hard toil and quite a lot of sacrifice.”
Aides also revealed that Camilla has both a “calming effect” and an “energising influence” on the King, making their relationship a source of strength. Notably, she remains the only person who can persuade Charles to ease his workload, especially amid his ongoing cancer treatment.
These revelations further highlight Camilla’s unwavering role as the King’s closest confidante and steadfast supporter.
