Most people didn’t think that the duchess, formerly Camilla Parker Bowles, would ever be called queen.
Charles and Camilla had to marry in a civil union, and Elizabeth did not attend.
The timing of the announcement may indicate that the queen is looking both to the past and the future.
But royal sources report that Camilla has done more than just win over the queen.
For him, this is a “dream come true.”
After all, his love for Camilla began before his marriage to Princess Diana and lasted throughout.
All Charles has seemingly wanted is to share his life with the person he loves.
The public, too, has warmed to Camilla.
“I think many people were pleased to see this.”
“I feel very, very honored and very touched,” she replied.
When the queen made her announcement, she left no doubt about whether she approved of the duchess.
