“It is my sincere wish that, when the time comes, Camilla is recognized as queen consort“. So he spoke Elizabeth IIfive months ago, sweeping away any doubts about the title that the Duchess of Cornwall will purchase once the husband Carlo will have ascended the throne. “I felt very flattered from the words of His Majesty », Camilla said in view of his 75th birthdayreleasing al Daily Mail his first interview since that appointment. “I just tried to serve best the country”.
Since she married Carlo in 2005, she has been traveling at a pace of 150 official commitments per year. “But I only support causes that I really believe in, why I am not able to pretend“, points out. «I therefore accept the patronages of charity doing things that I recognize myself in. For example, every new literary project, I want it immediately ». On the other hand, the passion for books is well known, so much so that during the lockdown has used social media to open one reading room online, which passed i 140 thousand subscribers.
With clarity, however, he realizes that these new communication tools they are a double-edged sword: «Once upon a time family they gathered at the table to eat and talk. Today, however, people carry with them smartphone and it’s gone conversation. We should leave them alone ». A speech that he also makes to his own nephewswith whom – in the recent past – she admits to being in contact thanks to TikTok And Houseparty: «We must be careful, because on social media children see things that they do not understand“.
On the other hand for her the family is sacred: two children, Tom and Laura, had by the previous husband, Andrew Parker Bowles, and five wonderful grandchildren: “When I can, I’m going to pick them up from school. If we ever have discussions in family? Of course, there are ups and downs, as happens to everyone. But if there is a crisis we defend each other“. A mutual support that Camilla carries on also with Carlo, her rock. «We will continue to team up also in the future. His help is essential for me, hear his guidance“.
