Queen Camilla’s friend gave fans a rare insight into the 79-year-old royal’s thoughts on her huge role.
King Charles’ wife has just turned 79 years old and, precisely on her birthday, she announced an important project to promote reading, especially among younger students.
Speaking about how Camilla’s carefree life turned into a day full of key commitments, her friend, former MP and podcast host Gyles Brandreth, made a surprising confession.
in conversation with Hello! MagazineHe said the King and Queen would love to “finish” the job rather than slow it down, even at this age.
“You’d think they might slow down, but they have to pick up the pace. But I never get the impression that they’re doing it reluctantly,” he said.
A royal commentator, Catherine Mayer, also shared her two cents on how the Queen’s life changed after marrying King Charles.
She shared: “This is a woman who was really very happy not to have a career, and who liked to work and do things that interested her, and now all of a sudden she has this huge role.
“She has lived much of her life in different directions than most of us.”
Speaking about what the Queen thinks about birthdays, Mr Gyles shared: “I don’t think she sees birthdays as a big deal, but family is very important to her, so that’s her kind of celebration.
“I think the truth is that she’s in a good place, although when you say, ‘Well done, it’s going very well,’ she shrugs her shoulders and says, ‘Well, come on.'”
