ROYAL WIVES BEHIND PALACE DOORS!

THE OTHER WOMAN

ONCE reviled for being the “third person” in King Charles III’s ill-fated marriage to Princess Diana, 76-year-old Queen Camilla waged a decades-long campaign to rehabilitate her image after their scandalous affair (hello, Tampongate!). “She has really embraced public life,” The Palace Papers author Tina Brown has said of Camilla, who finally married Charles in 2005. “I mean, this is a woman who used to like lying on the sofa, smoking a cigarette and reading a book.” (Not that she’s completely changed. “I think Camilla would struggle without her cigarettes and gin!former royal butler Paul Burrell tells Star.)

But stepson Prince Harry isn’t so fond of the woman dubbed “an old bag” by the British press. In 2023, he accused Camilla of getting “into bed with the devil” to get favorable press coverage by leaking private conversations to the media. “That made her dangerous,” he said, adding, “And with a family built on hierarchy, and with her on the way to being queen consort, there was gonna be ... bodies left in the street.”
