When Meghan and Harry resigned from the royal family, they also had to give up nepotism. Thanks to this, Camila took advantage of it, always a little off the beaten path.
At the end of January, Princess Camilla was announced as the Royal Patron of the National Theater of Great Britain. This job, like any sponsorship, is purely an honor. Apparently, Camila, who does not have much to do with the theater, always dreamed of getting it. Unfortunately for her, Duchess Meghan welcomed her in 2019. According to British media, Camilla was set to “get angry” about this turn of events.
There were two reasons for the Queen’s decision at the time. First of all, Meghan is an actress, so it was meant to be a nod to her career that she gave up when she entered the royal family. Secondly, and most importantly, they wanted to publicly show support for Meghan as an important member of the monarchy.
After he and Harry decided to leave palace life and move to the United States, they had to give up their honorary jobs and also care for them. These require new “guards”. This is why, for example Princess Kate became the patron saint of English rugby players – Take over the role from Harry.
Now Camila’s dream can come true. Her position in the royal family was not strong for obvious reasons. She would not have received the title of Princess of Wales (she wore this tragically deceased Princess Diana and it was unthinkable that Carol’s ex-boyfriend would have taken possession of her).
Until recently, it was assumed that she would never be called queen. It was changed by Elizabeth herself, who said it officially Her wish is for Camilla to become a queen consort in the future.
The 74-year-old Duchess of Cornwall is an example that patience pays off. After years of silent waiting, I got a husband and nicknames.
