“You wouldn’t dare question her or argue with her on how horses are bred or how it ran because you’d get a very steely, blue-eyed look back,” she recalled.
Even though the Queen received red boxes from the government every day of the year –except for Easter and Christmas Day – Balmoral was still where “she could have her family to stay” and “she could do the things she loved,” according to Camilla.
As for spending time with the Queen on royal engagements, King Charles III’s wife said she took the late monarch to some of her charities, the Ebony Horse Club and the Medical Detection Dogs.“She loved both of them. It was a real, sort of genuine enjoyment and she asked lots of questions,” Camilla shared. “It was very nice to take her to things which I knew she would enjoy.”
She continued, “She’s got those wonderful blue eyes that when she smiles, you know, they light up her whole face. I’ll always remember that smile … that smile is unforgettable.”
