Queen Consort: The Life of Queen Camilla

By Penny Junor

THE #2 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

‘A gripping story of human frailty, love, loss, sadness, and tragedy’ Daily Mail

She is the most public and least understood woman in Britain. Diana called her a Rottweiler. Prince Harry said she was a villain. But spend two minutes with Camilla and you understand why Charles fell for her.

The relationship between King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort, is one of the most extraordinary, star-crossed love stories of the past fifty years. It has endured against all the odds, and in the process nearly destroyed the British monarchy.

In this compelling biography, Britain’s top royal author paints an intimate portrait of the Queen Consort, revealing for the first time why the King went against his mother and risked everything to have Camilla by his side.

Previously published as The Duchess.

Este o biografie foarte bine documentata si este o lectura placuta.

I found this book regarding the long-awaited wife of Prince Charles of England, to be boring and filled with titles, unimportant details, and a long-winded story of the affair of Camilla Parker Bowles and Price Charles while they were both married.

The first nine index entries in order for Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall and Rothsesay:-- friendly/warm personality-- as strong character-- groundedness of-- compassion of-- family as paramount for-- advocate for women-- as emotional support for Charles-- passion for books and literacy-- charities supported byYou get the idea? This is clearly a "Pro-Camilla" work. But admittedly, this is well-done, clearly written, and pretty convincing.

This was surprisingly interesting. It went over a lot of familiar ground, and was very supportive of the Duchess, but kept my interest and didn't seem too fawning or, despite the subtitle, too malicious.
