Tell-all biography reveals the real Camilla

The explosive biography of Camilla has continued to lift the lid on the life of the woman on the other side of Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s famous breakup.

Details have now emerged Camilla’s youth, suggesting see was a natural leader amongst her friends, adored by her family and hero-worshipped by her father Bruce Shand.

Writing for the DailyMail, royal biographer Penny Junor suggests it is this innate nature that made Camilla such a perfect match for her now-husband, Prince Charles.

Junor writes,” Compared with the rest of the Royal Family, Charles is a thoroughly Renaissance man, moved by beauty, music and art in a way that largely passes his parents, his siblings and his sons by.

“He may love dogs and horses, he may have been an enthusiast of hunting, shooting and fishing in his time, he may have done his share of playing Action Man, but his interests and his thirst for knowledge extend way beyond country and military pursuits. He’s also deeply spiritual.

“The person who has given Charles the courage and encouragement to do half of the things he’s done in the past few decades is Camilla. But what really matters is that, finally, he feels loved and supported by someone close to him.”
