<p id=”par-1_44″>The way <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/camilla-parker-bowles/?swcfpc=1″>Queen Camilla</a>‘s life played out in the public eye has been interesting. When it was found out that she and <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/king-charles/?swcfpc=1″>King Charles</a> were <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/why-camilla-parker-bowles-said-she-was-a-prisoner-after-her-affair-with-prince-charles-was-revealed.html/”>having an affair</a> while he was still married to <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/princess-diana/?swcfpc=1″>Princess Diana</a>, Camilla became the “most hated woman in Britian.”</p>
<p id=”par-2_29″>Fast forward to today and not only is that label far behind her but she is now Queen of the United Kingdom and the 14 other Commonwealth realms. </p>
<p id=”par-3_14″>Now an expert is disputing anyone who thinks that was all by accident. </p>

<p id=”par-4_82″>Darren Stanton is a body language and behavioral expert with a degree in psychology. He previously worked as a police officer and used his expertise to uncover the truth when interviewing hundreds of suspects. He later moved into media and TV as a consultant and has been dubbed the “Human Lie Detector.” He explained that once Camilla and the futuren king went public with their relationship in the 90s, everything was planned out strategically for the woman who would be queen. </p>

<p id=”par-5_71″>Speaking on behalf of <a href=”https://casino.betfair.com/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Betfair Casino</a>, Stanton told Showbiz Cheat Sheet: “Following her wedding to Charles in April 2005, Camilla and her new husband embarked on their first royal tour. They headed to the U.S., and during this engagement, Camilla hung back and let Charles take centerstage. She was cautious to appear too eager for the spotlight and made sure she followed his lead. She was happy to play the devoted wife.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_65″>The expert continued: “After marrying Charles, Camilla wasn’t thrust into the limelight, and her appearances were strategic. She was polite and measured in her behavior, slowly opening up over time. She wanted the public to warm to her, and knew it was important to do that slowly. She’s really shifted perception and slowly found her feet, allowing her personality to shine through bit by bit.”</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-what-makes-the-queen-so-endearing-now”>What makes the queen so ‘endearing’ now</h2>
<p id=”par-7_33″>Time can certainly change a lot of things and that’s evident with how the public has warmed up to the king’s wife over the years. And she has become quite an endearing figure.</p>
<p id=”par-8_48″>According to Stanton, “One of Camilla’s most endearing traits is her self-deprecating humor and willingness to laugh at herself. At royal engagements, it’s often her genuine expressions, such as crow’s feet, a fully engaged smile, spontaneous laughter, that reveal how comfortable she is in her own skin. </p>

<p id=”par-9_28″>“Her authenticity shines through in those small, joyful moments. She doesn’t perform emotion; she lives it. And that relatability has gone a long way in reshaping public opinion.”</p>
<p id=”par-10_84″>He added that it’s also clear that Charles and Camilla have an unbreakable bond, noting, “The strength of Charles and Camilla’s relationship is unmistakable. While Charles often commands attention in public, it’s Camilla who remains his anchor. At countless events, he’s been seen scanning the crowd to locate her, not necessarily for a grand gesture, but simply for the reassurance of her presence. Her calm proximity gives him confidence, and it’s clear she has played an integral role in his developments since becoming monarch.”</p>
