As the rain poured down on the new King and his Queen, Camilla, on the balcony of Buckingham Palace Saturday, I could not help but think about the late Princess Diana.
As a very small child, I watched Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer’s wedding; her Spencer tiara sparkling, that famous shy smile lighting up the TV, the way even her wrinkled gown couldn’t ruin the fairytale day back in July 1981., on the balcony of Buckingham Palace Saturday — Diana’s vengeance, perhaps — I could not help but think about the late Princess of Wales, as I’m sure millions of others did too., Queen Mary’s crown glittering upon her head.
Yes, Charles finally got what he had always dreamed of when the royal website was updated early Saturday morning to call Camilla “Queen,” and dropping “consort” from her title. Although as recently as 2018, Charles was one of the least popular members of the royal family, he is now at No. 4 on the list, behind his son, Prince William, his sister Princess Anne and his daughter-in-law, Princess Kate.Photo by RICHARD POHLE/POOL/AFP via Getty Images
