Queen Camilla has garnered the “admiration” of sister-in-law Princess Anne and has shared ‘secrets’ with the royal, according to a Royal expert. Former BBC Royal correspondent Jennie Bond has claimed that Camilla, who joined the Royal Family officially in 2005 after marrying King Charles, Anne’s brother, has noticeably made strides in forming strong bonds within the Royal circle, reports OK!.
Jennie explained: “Yes I think Camilla has earned her sister-in-law’s admiration, just as she has won the respect of many people in the country. This was an unusual moment for both women, and I think it showed their mutual respect. Camilla and Anne have known each other for a very long time.”
She elaborated on the “history” the two women share and how they will exchange “secrets” through mutual trust. Jennie added: “You have to remember that Camilla was married to Andrew Parker Bowles, who was once a boyfriend of the princess. They share a lot of history and probably a lot of secrets.”
The former BBC Royal correspondent pointed out that it might have been “tricky” for Anne to see Camilla assume the role of Queen following the death of her mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
However, Anne recognises the “tremendous support” Camilla provides to her brother Charles. “It may have been quite tricky for both of them to adjust to the new situation with Camilla becoming the senior royal and, indeed, taking on the role of Anne’s beloved mother,” the expert stated.
“But I think Anne has seen what a tremendous support Camilla is to Charles: the King is certainly lucky to have two strong women either side of him, supporting him in his work and caring deeply about his welfare.”
