Camilla: From Outcast to Queen Consort

by Angela Levin Narrated by Ana Clements

Overview

For many years, Camilla was portrayed in a poor light, blamed by the public for the break-up of the marriage between Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Initially, Queen Elizabeth refused to see or speak to her, but, since the death of Prince Philip, Camilla had become one of the Queen's closest companions. Her confidence in Camilla and the transformation she had seen in Prince Charles since their wedding resulted in her choosing the first day of her Platinum Jubilee year to tell the world that she wanted Camilla to be Queen Consort, not the demeaning Princess Consort suggested in 2005.



Angela Levin uncovers Camilla's rocky journey to be accepted by the royal family and how she coped with her brutal portrayal in Netflix's The Crown. The public have witnessed her tremendous contribution to help those in need, especially during COVID. Levin has talked to many of Camilla's long-term friends, her staff, and executives from the numerous charities of which Camilla is patron. She reveals why Camilla concentrates on previously taboo subjects, such as domestic violence and rape. Most of all, Levin tells the story of how Camilla has changed from a fun-loving young woman to one of the senior royals' hardest workers. She has retained her mischievous sense of humor, becoming a role model for older women and an inspiration for younger ones.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Well researched, intelligent and fair-minded. The picture Levin paints of our new Queen is entirely accurate. She is ungrand, charming, naturally loyal, and supportive. The new Queen's moment has indeed come, and her biographer leaves us in no doubt that she is equal to it."

—Simon Heffer, Daily Telegraph

"Levin's conclusion is one I share. Camilla 'possesses the inner strength and willpower' to make a huge success of her new role."
—Roger Lewis, The Times (UK)

"You end this biography by veteran Royal commentator Angela Levin convinced that our new Queen Consort is one of the best things to happen to the Windsors in recent years."―Mail on Sunday
