It has been 26 years since that interview and 25 years since Diana, Princess of Wales died along with Dodi Fayed and Henri Paul in a high-speed car crash in Paris. In the wake of Diana’s death, the prospect of Charles ascending the throne with Camilla at his side was little more than a pipe dream.
The royal family’s popularity was at an all-time low. At the time of Diana’s death, the Queen was at Balmoral and it was five days before the Queen and Prince Philip returned to London to deal with the outpouring of grief that had engulfed the nation. The masses were not happy. Many felt it was a continuation of his treatment of Diana, Princess of Wales, disregard for her and her welfare that ultimately led to her death.
In 1997, polls conducted for the BBC showed that the British public did not want Charles to become king if he married Camilla, with two-thirds of respondents said to be against the idea. Eighty-six percent of those polled also thought Camilla should not be queen. Only 43% of the public believed that Charles and Camilla should get married at all, with these ratings remaining the same in the years after Diana’s death, until the time Charles and Camilla’s engagement was announced in February 2005 .
They married in April of that year, and since then Charles and Camilla have faced a long PR battle to show a softer, more personable side to both of them in the face of criticism over how they both treated Princess Diana of Wales.
But has the public really accepted Camilla? NBC News Royal Commentator Daisy McAndrew seems to think so. “I think how he managed to come from the cold into the public’s perception and affection was remarkable. It was a very deliberate policy of slowly building her public image – and it certainly wasn’t trying to position her as a ‘Diana mark 2’. She plowed a different path, tried to show her authentic self: more independent and at the same time homely, less showy, but stable and caring and I think she succeeded.
“She’s also let it be known that she has a sense of humor and can make Charles seem more human, which is important. She’s dealt with her own issues like domestic abuse and reading books and she’s done with those I think. She didn’t try wise never to ‘uncover’ Diana’.

(AP Photo/ Alastair Grant, File) Camilla recently celebrated a milestone 75th birthday with a magazine feature in Vogue UK and the cover of UK magazine Country Life, which she also edited. With photos of Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, and recipes from her own kitchen featured in the Country Life spread, her PR team is working overtime – and then some – to get Camilla out to the masses, show a more humane, gentler on her side, away from the destroyer of marriage, they have her chalked up as in the past.
OVERTIME PR TEAM
She has been repackaged as everything from the ultimate grandma, to a glam-ma, Prince Charles’ “power and residence” and eventually our next Queen. In this huge PR push, Camilla came across as charming and entertaining. at her 75th birthday lunch with guests in her age bracket, she joked that she was only invited because of her age. in a documentary about rural life she highlighted issues such as domestic violence and called herself a “country woman”.
Camilla avoided talking about what it was like to be the third person in Charles and Diana’s marriage, and never commented on the record about Diana herself. But speaking to Vogue UK she said: “It’s not easy… I’ve been scrutinized for so long that you just have to find a way to live with it,” she said. “No one likes to be stared at all the time. And, you know, I criticized … But I think in the end, I kind of get over it and get on with it. You have to get on with life.”
However, there is one thing that may have sealed Camilla’s place on the throne alongside her beloved Prince Charles – the Queen’s approval. In February this year the Queen issued a statement saying it was her, “sincere wish that when the time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service”. This is the rubber-stamped stamp of approval that settles the sensitive issue of the Queen’s approval of Charles and Camilla.
WILL CAMILLA EVER BE QUEEN?
It was widely speculated that she would hold the title of Princess Consort rather than Queen when Charles became king, but this statement proved otherwise. Now, if there’s one thing the great British public have, it’s an affinity for the Queen. Platinum Jubilee celebrations up and down the country have been widely successful because many Britons love the Queen – not necessarily the Royal Family. Recent scandals involving Prince Andrew and Prince Charles have contributed to the perception that there is a lot of drama and shady dealings in the family from which the Queen rises. But, if Queen Elizabeth II has said that Camilla should be Queen Consort, then we can expect most of the British public to accept her that way. To them, supporting the Queen means everything.
Twenty-five years after the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, she remains the People’s Princess, an icon of philanthropy and fashion, an almost super-celebrity, the most photographed woman in the world, who died trying to escape being photographed.
There are those people, for whom Diana remains the victim of an invasion of the press and ultimately the royal family. As memories of her death and the slew of documentaries, magazine covers and true crime podcasts about her and her untimely death to follow in the coming days, it will be a difficult time for Charles and Camilla, as well as Harry, William. and all who knew and loved Diana, Princess of Wales. But as the royal family moves into the next generation, with Charles as King and Camilla at his side, there is a quiet acceptance of the status quo. Diana will remain the People’s Princess and Camilla will be their Queen.
