Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall (née Shand, formerly Parker Bowles, born 17 July 1947) is the second wife of Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, the heir apparent to the thrones of 16 independent states. Since her marriage to the Prince of Wales, Camilla has been legally entitled to the style and title of Princess of Wales,[2] though she uses one of her other titles– Duchess of Cornwall– in all parts of the United Kingdom except Scotland, where she is titled as Duchess of Rothesay.[3] This preference of title reflects a desire to avoid confusion with the title closely identified in part of the 1980s and 1990s with the Prince of Wales's first wife, Diana, Princess of Wales.

A long-time friend and supporter of Prince Charles, Camilla was herself also previously married, and had two children during the union. She entered the public consciousness when it was revealed that she had become the Prince of Wales' mistress while they were both married and after their respective marriages had broken down. Following Charles and Diana's divorce, Clarence House (Charles' household) advised on Camilla's public relations, and she gradually became a significant part of royal life. Today, she supports the Prince of Wales in his official duties, and carries out engagements of her own, mostly associated with the 40 or so charities of which she is President or Royal Patron.

Early life and first marriage

Born in the village of Plumpton, England, on 17 July 1947, Camilla was raised opposite the Plumpton Racecourse by her parents, Major Bruce Shand (a British Army officer (as well as prisoner of war in World War II and recipient of the Military Cross and Bar) turned wine merchant) and The Honourable Rosalind Cubitt (eldest child of Roland Calvert Cubitt, Baron Ashcombe): her siblings were her brother, Mark, and sister, Annabel. Camilla attended Dumbrells School in Sussex, as well as Queen's Gate School in Kensington. She subsequently attended the Mon Fertile finishing school in Switzerland and studied at the Institut Britannique in Paris. Following her education, she worked for a year at the offices of designers Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler. She also became an avid equestrienne and participated in fox hunting.

On 4 July 1973, Camilla married Andrew Parker Bowles, at the Guard's Chapel, Wellington Barrracks. The couple had two children: Tom, born in the year after Camilla's marriage, who is a godson of Prince Charles, and Laura, born in 1978, both of whom were raised in their father's Roman Catholic faith. Camilla and Parker Bowles divorced on 3 March 1995.

Personal life

The relationship between Camilla and the Prince Charles, Prince of Wales began when they met at a polo match in 1970.[4] Though she became one of the numerous girlfriends of Charles, and he was said to have wanted to marry her, Camilla was seen by royal courtiers as an unsuitable match for the future king.[citation needed] Robert Lacey wrote in his 2002 book, Royal: Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, that Charles had met Camilla too early, and that he had not asked her to wait for him when he went overseas for military duties in 1972.

Early relationship with the Prince of Wales

In the 1970s, Camilla's sister, Annabel, worked as an artist in New York City.[5] At the same time, Charles was acting as Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Regiment of Wales, and would annually visit the regiment in New York, where he met Annabel. Camilla was also known to have visited her sister in New York during this period. It was thus said by some that it was then that the couple resumed their relationship, and that it continued throughout the Prince's engagement, although this cannot be confirmed. There is no support for the theory of an intimate meeting between the two when Charles was still single, on the night before Charles' marriage to Diana.[6] However, though the timing of these tangled relationships has been much discussed and dissected, reliable published reports indicate that they renewed their romantic relationship in the early 1980s.[citation needed]

The affair became public knowledge a decade later, with the publication of Diana: Her True Story, followed by the Camillagate scandal, wherein an intimate telephone conversation between Camilla and Charles was secretly recorded and the transcripts published in the tabloids.[7] With the extra-marital relationship in the open, Diana gave a interview on the BBC programme Panorama, in which she blamed the relationship between Camilla, whom she privately referred to as "the Rottweiler",[8][9] and the Prince of Wales as the reason for the break up of her own marriage, saying: "Well, there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded."[10] Though Camilla kept a low profile at this time, she became unpopular by these revelations,[11] which her friends denied, suggesting that everything was a tabloid media invention that had become an urban myth.[12] However, it was confirmed by Charles in a televised interview with Jonathan Dimbleby that the relationship between him and Camilla resumed during their respective marriages.[13] Following this, the Parker Bowleses announced their own divorce in 1995; they had been living apart for some time, and a year later Andrew Parker Bowles married Rosemary Pitman.

Camilla occasionally became Charles' unofficial companion at events. This temporarily ceased at the time of Diana's death, but Camilla and Charles were photographed in public together in 1999. Though she maintained her residence in Wiltshire, Camilla then moved into Charles' household in 2003, resulting in decorative changes to both homes, though Buckingham Palace was explicit in pointing out that public funds had not been used for the renovations. In 2005, the media reported that Charles had also bought Camilla jewellery and a designer wardrobe. Marriage between the couple remained elusive, however: As the future Supreme Governor of the Church of England, the prospect of Charles marrying a divorcée was seen as controversial. Opinion– of both the public and the church– shifted, though, to a point where civil marriage was seen as an agreeable solution.[citation needed]

Second engagement and marriage

Main article: Wedding of Charles, Prince of Wales and Camilla Parker Bowles

On 10 February 2005, it was announced by Clarence House that Camilla and the Prince of Wales were engaged; Camilla had been presented with an engagement ring that had belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. The marriage was to have been on 8 April of that year, and was to take place in a civil ceremony at Windsor Castle, with a subsequent religious blessing at St George's Chapel. But, because the conduct of a civil marriage at Windsor Castle would oblige the venue to thereafter be available to anyone wishing to be married there, the location was changed to the Windsor Guildhall. On 4 April it was announced that the marriage would be delayed by one day to allow for the Prince of Wales and some of the invited dignitaries to attend the funeral of Pope John Paul II.[14] As Charles' parents did not attend the marriage ceremony (the Queen's reluctance to attend arising from her position as Supreme Governor of the Church of England),[15] neither did Camilla's father; her children, instead, acted as witnesses of the union, as did Prince William and Prince Harry. The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh did, however, attend the service of blessing, and held a reception for the newlyweds at Windsor Castle afterwards.[16] Following the wedding, the couple travelled to the Prince's country home in Scotland, Birkhall, and carried out their first public duties as a couple during their honeymoon.

Life as Duchess of Cornwall

Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, and the Duchess of Cornwall are greeted by Tobago Chief Secretary, Orville London.

After becoming Duchess of Cornwall, the duchess automatically acquired rank as the second highest female in the United Kingdom Order of Precedence (after the Queen), and as typically fifth or sixth in the orders of precedence of her other realms, following the Queen, the relevant viceroy, the Duke of Edinburgh, and the Prince of Wales. It was revealed, though, that the royal order of precedence for private occasions had Camilla placed fourth, after the Queen, the Princess Royal, and Princess Alexandra.[17] Within two years of the marriage, the Queen extended Camilla visible tokens of membership in the Royal Family; use of a tiara of the late Queen Mother,[18] and the badge of the Royal Family Order of Queen Elizabeth II.

Though no details were publicly released, it was confirmed in March 2007 that Camilla had undergone a hysterectomy,[19] the same year that marked the tenth anniversary of the death of Diana. According to an announcement by Clarence House, it was the Duchess's intent to attend the anniversary memorial service for Diana, Princess of Wales on 31 August 2007, along with the Prince of Wales, and Princes William and Harry of Wales, as she had been invited specifically and personally by Prince William and Prince Harry. Although the Duchess received much kind and supportive encouragement, a bit of a furore was fanned in the tabloid newspapers , and the Duchess withdrew from attending, stating that she wished not to "divert attention from the purpose of the occasion which is to focus on the life and service of Diana."[20] In October, Camilla's son, and his wife, Sara, had a daughter, Lola Rosalind; and, in January of the following year, Camilla's daughter, and her husband Harry Lopes, welcomed their first child, a daughter whom they named Eliza.

Royal duties

Initially, the Duchess of Cornwall's royal duties involved accompanying the Prince of Wales on his official obligations. However, Camilla was soon taking on solo engagements, the first being a visit to a hospital in Southampton, and she attended the Trooping the Colour for the first time in June 2005, making her appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace afterwards. The same year, she made her inaugural overseas tour to the United States, and, in March of the following year, the Prince and Duchess undertook a trip through Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and India. She also conducted the naming ceremony for HMS Astute on 8 June 2007, and, on 10 December, she did the same for the new Cunard cruise ship, MS Queen Victoria,[21][22] it being said that the Queen had been surprised by Cunard's invitation.[23] The Duchess of Cornwall is the patron of The Royal School, Hampstead, an independent girl's school,[24][25] as well as President or Patron of a number of other charities, as detailed below.

Camilla's style and title in full: Her Royal Highness The Princess Charles Philip Arthur George, Princess of Wales and Countess of Chester, Duchess of Cornwall, Duchess of Rothesay, Countess of Carrick, Baroness of Renfrew, Lady of the Isles, Princess of Scotland.[26]

Because the title 'Princess of Wales' remains strongly associated with the previous holder of that title, Lady Diana Spencer, Camilla is referred to with the feminine form of her husband's subsidiary title, Duke of Cornwall.[3] Also, unless a specific Act of Parliament is passed in the United Kingdom to the contrary, Camilla will, upon the accession of her husband, legally be queen.[27][28] However, it has been indicated that when the Prince of Wales accedes to the throne, Camilla will remain styled as Her Royal Highness, with the title of The Princess Consort.[29]

Honorary military appointments

Following her marriage to Prince Charles, Camilla was appointed by the Queen to act as honorary head of various formations and units in the British Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force. When The Rifles, of which the Duchess is Royal Colonel, lost four soldiers, and others were injured during the Iraq War, Camilla sent a hand-written letter to each of the wounded and each of to the families of the four deceased, along with the gift of scotch as a pain-soother, as well as an invitation to her house.[31]

  • United Kingdom Honourary Air Commodore of RAF Leeming
  • United Kingdom Commodore-in-Chief of the Naval Medical Services
  • United Kingdom Lady sponsor of HMS Astute[32]

Arms

On the duchess' 58th birthday, Clarence House announced that Camilla had been granted by the Queen a coat of arms for her own personal use. It was reported that the Queen, Charles, and Camilla all took a "keen interest" in the arms' creation, and they were prepared by Peter Gwynn-Jones, Garter Principal King of Arms.[33]

Coat of arms of Queen Camilla
Notes
The Duchess' coat of arms impale the Prince of Wales' main coat of arms to the dexter, with her father's coat of arms to the sinister, all surmounted by her husband's coronet as heir apparent. Aside from the invention of a boar supporter (reflected in her paternal arms) for the sinister side, Camilla's coat of arms is entirely consistent with the historical heraldic arrangement for a married woman who is not herself a heraldic heiress.

Ancestry

According to genealogist William Addams Reitwiesner, the Duchess of Cornwall's ancestry is predominantly French, English, Dutch, and Scottish. Through her French lineage, Camilla's maternal line great-great-grandmother was Sophia Mary MacNab of Hamilton, Ontario, who was herself the descendant of 17th century immigrants to Quebec, daughter of Sir Allan MacNab, and wife of William Coutts Keppel, Earl of Albemarle. Their son, George, was husband to Alice Edmonstone, who was the mistress of King Edward VII, himself the great-great-grandfather of Prince Charles: thus, Camilla and Charles are ninth cousins once removed.[34] This same lineage makes Camilla a distant relation of Celine Dion and Madonna,[35] while her bloodline is also connected to King Charles II, through his illegitimate son, Charles Lennox, Duke of Richmond; Thomas Cubitt, prominent Victorian builder; and, through the Earl of Albemarle, Judith Keppel, the first winner of the top prize on the television game show Who Wants to be a Millionaire?.[36]
