Britain's future Queen Camilla has a son and a daughter with her ex-husband, Andrew Parker Pauls, Laura Lopez and Tom Parker Pauls. Now, they have added 5 grandchildren (daughters) to Camilla. In addition, as the stepmother to Prince William and Prince Harry, Camilla was also the step-grandmother of the children of the two princes (Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louise, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor and Lilybert Mountbatten-Windsor).
On Feb. 25, ahead of next Thursday's book day, the Duchess of Cornwall revealed exclusively to a media outlet that one of her favorite books to read to her grandchildren was The Marvelous Grandma Thief. Written by British best-selling author David Williams, the book revolves around an 11-year-old boy and his grandmother in her 80s.
Because his mom and dad had to go out dancing every Friday, they would send 11-year-old Ben to his grandmother. At first, Ben didn't like going because he thought Grandma was an old lady who could only chew mints, play scrabble, and smell all over her stinky cabbage. Until one day, Ben discovers that his grandmother is an international jewelry thief. Moreover, the old lady planned to take him to steal the jewels from the Queen's crown....
Camilla said: "When they opened their eyes wide and looked curiously at me wondering what kind of interesting story I would bring them, the little faces that were curious and eager were so cute and made me very happy." ”
Camilla loves to read. She also holds regular book clubs to share valuable and interesting books with fans. However, this time, when the 74-year-old grandmother talked about the plot of this "The Great Thief Grandma", many fans could not help but think of her own life experience.
Because of the experience of the third party in the past, Camilla, who married into the royal family, has not been very popular with her mother-in-law, queen Ying. Because of her dislike and consideration of the British people's wishes, before Camilla married into the royal family, the British royal family issued a statement declaring: "After the Prince of Wales succeeds to the throne, the Duchess of (Cornwall) will be 'proposed' to be 'her royal highness'. ”
However, because of the persistence and persistence of her son, Prince Charles, the 95-year-old queen finally made the biggest concession earlier this month, publicly expressing her support for Camilla as queen. In commemoration of her 70th anniversary on the throne, the Queen said in an open letter: "I am eternally grateful and humble about the loyalty and love you continue to give." When the time comes, my son Charles will be king, and I know that you will support him and his wife Camilla as much as you support me. I sincerely hope that when that moment comes, Camilla will be called queen, continuing her own loyal service. ”
Camilla was finally "a daughter-in-law for many years". After the Queen issued an open letter, many of her citizens chose to respect the choices of the elderly. However, there are also many people who have expressed strong objections. In their view, Camilla's "crown" is tantamount to "snatching" (stealing) from the queen, because after all, this is not the queen's willing choice, let alone the result they are happy to see. Many British nationals said that even if Camilla became queen, she would only be Charles's queen, not their queen.
However, even if such objections came and went, Camilla's becoming queen was almost certain, unless something extremely unexpected happened. Recently, Camilla also expressed her joy at being able to seal the queen and her yearning for being a queen.
In a special episode of the series Women's Time, the queen-to-be said: "It is a great honor for me to be queen. This is also a great honor, and there can be no greater honor. It really helps me to get a little closer to highlighting the philanthropy that I care about. I will continue to focus on these causes (against domestic violence). You know, if I start doing something like this, I'm not going to give up halfway. I will continue to work hard to help people like Diana... I wish I could do it for the rest of my life. "Diana here refers to Diana Parks, whose daughter Joanna Simpson was killed by her own husband in 2010. Camilla has previously said Ms Parks was the inspiration for her work to help victims of domestic violence.
It is reported that at present, Camilla has recovered from the new crown virus and will soon resume work. Camilla said she had experienced a tough COVID-19 pandemic and hoped that on the occasion of the Queen's enthronement anniversary, people could celebrate it together. Camilla's vision is certainly beautiful, but it seems that it will take some time for her people to be willing to accept her as queen.
