On September 8, when Queen Elizabeth II died, the lives of Prince Charles and his wife Camilla Parker-Bowles changed dramatically. Even though they had known it for a long time, it is difficult to appropriate such a large role in a monarchy. The prince became King Charles III, Camilla, Queen Consort, after Elizabeth II gave her consent. The couple therefore took over their duties the minute they learned of the Sovereign’s disappearance. A heavy and difficult role in full mourning at the end of which Camilla Parker-Bowles obviously needed to breathe.
It was alone that King Charles III made his last official visits. No Camilla around. A question then haunted all minds: where did the queen consort go? the Times of India gave the answer. Camilla Parker-Bowles went to India, for a private stay with girlfriends. If Charles were to accompany her, recent ups and downs in government have forced him to stay in the UK.
Queen Camilla enjoys a quiet break with girlfriends in a holistic health center. No mobile phone or alcohol on the program, only one watchword: rest! For ten days, Camilla will follow rejuvenation therapies, meditation sessions, homeopathy and Ayurveda, a traditional medicine of the country. A personalized stay for each patient in order to best adapt the treatments according to the needs. And as a police source insisted, “no public engagement programs or interactions were scheduled during his stay.”
Camilla Parker-Bowles therefore has plenty of time to breathe before finding her husband. The journey of the wife of King Charles in the royal family has not been easy. Secret love of the father of William and Harry, she has long drawn the wrath of the British people, fervent defender of the late Diana Spencer. But over the years, the couple, pariah among the Windsors, convinced with their discretion, patience, dedication and sympathy. A reign that promises to be much more serene than expected…
