The fall and rise of Queen Camilla
In the 1990s, some newspapers dubbed Camilla Parker Bowles the most hated woman in Britain. Now she's cemented her position as the most senior female member of the Royal Family.
She is the love of Charles's life, his confidante since they were young and his wife of 17 years. And now, she is his Queen Consort.
The public has got used to seeing Camilla by her husband's side at key national and international events and celebrations, but as she has admitted, it has been far from easy.
Few women have been as publicly vilified as Camilla Parker Bowles. She was "the other woman" in the marriage break-up of the century, endlessly compared to Diana, Princess of Wales.
In choosing Charles, she upended her life. For years she was hounded by the press, her character and appearance relentlessly attacked. But she weathered the storm and gradually cemented her position as the most senior female member of the Royal Family.
For 5 Minutes On, the 大象传媒's Royal Correspondent, Daniela Relph, speaks to some of those who know her best.
