One of the many scandals related to the British royals is the affair between then-prince Charles and his now-current wife Camilla.

At the time the country and the entire world learned of their affair they were both married to other people.

The wide public condemned their affair, as they believed it was Camilla who was to be blamed for the failed marriage between the heir to the throne and Lady Di, the princess who captured millions of hearts, not only of Britons but people from all over the world.

Speaking of the troubles in her marriage and the reasons for its failure, Diana told Martin Bashir during a televised interview, “Well, there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded.”

The love between Charles and Camilla, which started before he even met Diana, is a genuine one, and that is apparent.

Royal author Penny Junior claimed that Charles was aware he wasn’t in love with his future wife Diana, but it was already too late for him to call off the wedding.

“Charles was not convinced he was doing the right thing in marrying Diana but there was no way out and, bolstered by the hope that things would be different once they were married, he put a brave face on it,” she wrote, as reported by the Mirror.

What’s most, Camilla and Diana knew each other and got along, but then things changed.

“I met [Camilla] very early on. I was introduced to the circle, but I was a threat, I was a very young girl, but I was a threat,” Diana explained in the book Diana: In Her Own Words.

Fast forward to this very day, Charles is the King of Britain and Camilla is Queen.

Over the years, the people of Britain learned to love Camilla and her reputation has been growing. The two are now the head of the country and are still happily married but there was a time when Camilla was afraid to leave her home because she was afraid of the backlash of the public following the revelation of her affair.

Speaking to OK Magazine, royal expert Angela Levin, author of the 2022 book Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall: A Royal Survivor, revealed that Camilla had to endure “torrents” of mistreatment from the public as the affair was revealed. She didn’t even go to stores but had her friends running her errands for her.

“It was very difficult for her, as she was portrayed as the most wicked woman in the world. She was constantly called nasty names like ‘rottweiler,’ and it must have come as a huge shock that people were so vile about her,” Levin said.

Considering her age, it doesn’t come as a surprise that Camilla is experiencing health issues.

For years, she has been raising awareness about osteoporosis.

Mayo Clinic defines osteoporosis as a “condition that causes bones to become weak and brittle — so brittle that a fall or even mild stresses such as bending over or coughing can cause a fracture.”

Unfortunately, this condition affects around 3 million people in UK only.

Queen Consort Camilla knows best what it is like to be around someone who has osteoporosis and how that affects the quality of life.

Her mother died of the disease in 1994 at 71, and it also claimed the life of her grandmother in 1986.

This is the reason why Camilla is now a Royal Osteoporosis Society ambassador. She is doing all in her power to raise awareness of the condition and speaks openly of her mother’s struggles with it.

In a 2021 interview with Gloria Hunniford for the BBC to commemorate World Osteoporosis Day, the Queen Consort Camilla recalled some of the most moving memories of her mother’s battle with osteoporosis.

She shared that one time, her mother stumbled upon an old friend who hugged her tight and that made one of her ribs break. “I believe my mother visited almost everyone you could think of, and they all apologized for her age by saying, ‘Sorry, you’re old.’” We just watched her shrivel up in front of us.”

Her mother’s condition affected the entire family.

“Because we were unaware of the situation, we wondered at one point, ‘Well, is she making a big deal out of all of this?’
