Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall : From Outcast to Future Queen Consort / Angela Levin.

'It is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as queen consort as she continues her own loyal service.'

With these words on 6 February 2022, marking her seventieth anniversary on the throne, the Queen finally ensured that Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, became fully accepted into the royal family and her future ensured that Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, became fully accepted into the royal family and her future status was assured. It had been a long and sometimes challenging path to reach this stage, but it was due recognition for all of Camilla's hard work and her enduring love for her husband, Prince Charles.

However, for many years, Camilla's position had been in doubt. Ever since Princess Diana had complained that 'there were three of us in this marriage', Camilla had been painted as the woman who broke up the 'fairytale' story of Charles and Diana. For some, there was no coming back from this, and the Queen refused to accept Camilla into her presence. But Charles knew she was the love of his life, and his insistence that she be a part of it - combined with Camilla's own work and sound common sense - ensured that she began to win people over.

In 'Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall,' royal biographer Angela Levin goes behind the scenes to provide a compelling and authoritative portrait of our future queen consort. She assesses how Camilla turned the tide of opinion in her favour, reveals her true personality and interests, and gives a vivid insight into a woman who isn't afraid to take on controversial issues in order to help those who need it most.
