In the royal historian Penny Junor's book"The Duchess," which follows Camilla's remarkable rise from maligned mistress to a key senior member of the royal household, Junor portrays Camilla as playing a central role in restoring Charles' own reputation, and a true partner to him.
While acknowledging that Camilla will probably never be universally loved, Junor writes that she is a warm and welcoming woman with"a twinkle in her eye" - and a stabilising force in the royal family as it has endured the ups and downs of the last several decades. Charles later married Diana, but their marriage painfully dissolved in front of the whole world. Camilla seemed to bear much of the public disapproval of the prince's separation from the much-loved Diana in 1991.
Camilla and her first husband divorced in 1995, and Charles and Diana's divorce was finalised in 1996. After Diana's death in 1997, the relationship between Charles and Camilla was kept far from the public eye. But in 1999, they began to make their first public appearances as a couple, and in 2003, they moved into the royal residence at Clarence House together.
Analysts say the couple's standing could be benefiting from the precarious situation Britain finds itself in right now, amid a cost-of-living crisis and a volatile political landscape.
