When Camilla was crowned queen in 2023, it marked a new chapter in the life of a woman who'd previously been mocked by the British public and vilified in the tabloid press. She famously embarked on an affair with Prince Charles while he was still married to Diana, Princess of Wales, and she was still married to Andrew Parker Bowles.
