Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, and Prince Charles have exponentially stepped up as the Queen remained in isolation during the pandemic and then was advised to rest following a bout of ill health. The Prince of Wales has been the official heir apparent to the throne for over 50 years and over the years has taken on an increasing number of duties from Her Majesty. Camilla is equally delighted to get the attention and glory as she finds herself in the centre of the royal course, a royal editor Russell Myers claimed. 

Today Extra news hosts Sylvia Jeffreys and David Campbell discussed the couple’s new position as they step out more into the spotlight.

Mr Myers said: “Charles and Camilla are having a lot of fun, Camilla looked very glam as he got a new hairdresser, she looked fantastic in some of the outfits she was wearing. 

“I think you know from speaking to them at them on the tour. 

“They were saying there was a bit more snap in their celery that than you know they are willing to get out front and centre, of course, the Queen has had to take a back seat off late.”

Mr Myers continued: “She’s had a strained back, we know that she had some health problems and it really does fall to the other members of the family to step up and be counted at this stage.”

Ms Jeffreys said: “Yes, I do think we are going to see a bit more of Charles and Camilla.”

The royal editor commented: “Of course! Next year is the Queen’s platinum jubilee and they are the big guns of the Royal Family.”

Prince Charles and Camilla returned last week from their four-day royal tour to Jordan and Egypt, the first abroad tour since the start of the pandemic.

He spoke on his mother’s health while touring in Amman, Jordan, Prince Charles light-heartedly said: “Once you get to 95, it’s not quite as easy as it used to be. It’s bad enough at 73”.

Camilla loved being the spotlight but admitted that the Middle East tour was “quite tough, we were driving a lot and it was pretty bumpy”.

She added: “I’m a lot older now, well into my 70s.

“I’ve been on so many trips and I can understand why people can be cynical about this ‘why they’re doing this, what they’re getting out of this?.

“But I’ve heard so many diplomats over the years say, ‘we’ve been trying to open this door for weeks, months, years, then suddenly a member of the royal family comes along and, bang, this works for us — doors are open and things get done.”

The Duchess added: “We are not on holiday, we might be dressed up and photographed against the pyramids like tourists but we are not on holiday.

“We are working for the government and country and we are trying to make difference.”

Camilla also branded as “extraordinary” the visit to the baptism site of Christ in Jordan, saying: “It was extraordinary, something you read about.

“To actually go down there and experience it — it was really quite spiritual.”
