Camilla Parker Bowles: this beautiful gift from the Queen to her daughter-in-law for the new year

On Friday December 31, 2021, Queen Elizabeth II appointed Camilla Parker Bowles Order of the Garter. A great recognition for the wife of Prince Charles who took a long time to be accepted into the British royal family.

It is a very nice end of year gift for Camilla Parker Bowles. The wife of Prince Charles was appointed by Queen Elizabeth II on Friday December 31, 2021 to Order of the Garter. “Her Majesty The Queen was delighted to appoint Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall (…) as Lady Royal of the Most Noble Order of the Garter“, said Buckingham Palace in a statement, including People echoed. The queen took the decision of this appointment, without asking the opinion of the Prime Minister, since she does not have the obligation to do so. With this distinction, Camilla Parker Bowles ranks alongside the Queen’s children. At 74, it is an honor for her to finally obtain this rank after it took years to find her place in the British royal family.

She came after Lady Diana, who was very popular in the hearts of the British. Even though she and Prince Charles have always been in love, their relationship was not welcome. But over the years, the Duchess of Cornwall managed to find her place and reach the hearts of the sovereigns by increasing commitments and positions in favor of the most disadvantaged. As Queen Elizabeth II, 95, stepped back for health reasons, Camilla Parker Bowles increasingly takes center stage.

Camilla Parker Bowles has been the wife of Prince Charles since 2005

Since 2005, she has been the wife of Prince Charles. The lovebirds were married in a very discreet ceremony where even the queen was absent. This re-marriage was not really well regarded within royalty. Moreover, the status of Camilla is the subject of many discussions to know if she will become queen consort or princess consort when her husband takes the throne.
