It’s no secret that Camilla has had a fractious relationship with the public. Both she and Charles were married to others when they had an affair which sunk their marriages. The late Diana went public with her anger at the adultery and public opinion about Camilla was swift and harsh.
Since then, she has redeemed herself through dedicated hard work and a dignified demeanor.

Queen Elizabeth herself stated this year that she wished her DIL to be given the title Queen Consort. There has been some speculation that Charles will have Camilla keep a low profile in order to ease any lingering tensions among certain segments of the population.
But now news indicates that that is the very last thing Charles will do in regard to his queen. According to GeoTv, “The new monarch recently landed five winners from his first 25 runners since the Queen died and the Racing Post claimed that Charles is ‘likely’ to ask Camilla to lead the show.”

Some speculate that if Harry trashes Camilla, there will be no titles—indicating that Camilla wields considerable power within the monarchy and that she is not going anywhere any time soon, if ever.
