Diana called her a Rottweiler. But spend two minutes with Camilla and you understand why Charles fell for her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe relationship between King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort, is one of the most remarkable love stories of the age. It has endured against all the odds, and in the process nearly destroyed the British monarchy. It is a rich and remarkable story that has never been properly told – indeed, it is one of the most extraordinary, star-crossed love stories of the past fifty years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJunor argues that although Camilla played a central role in the darkest days of the modern monarchy, Charles and Diana’s acrimonious and scandalous split, she also played a central role in restoring the royal family’s reputation, especially that of King Charles. A woman with no ambition to be a princess, a duchess, or a queen, Camilla simply wanted to be with, and support, the man who has always been the love of her life. Junor contends that their marriage has reinvigorated Charles, allowing him to finally become comfortable as the heir to the British throne.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this compelling biography, Britain’s top royal author paints an intimate portrait of the Queen Consort, revealing for the first time why the King went against his mother and risked everything, even the stability of the monarchy, to have Camilla by his side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Duchess\u003c\/em\u003e was in the \u003cem\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/em\u003e Bestseller Chart from the 26th to 33rd week of 2017.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn The Duchess, Penny Junor, the Sunday Times bestselling author, delves into the heart of European royalty, exploring the complex relationships and romance that have left an indelible mark on history.
