Camilla

From Outcast to Queen Consort

Resumen del Editor

For many years, Camilla was portrayed in a poor light, blamed by the public for the break-up of the marriage between Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Initially, Queen Elizabeth refused to see or speak to her, but, since the death of Prince Philip, Camilla had become one of the Queen's closest companions. Her confidence in Camilla and the transformation she had seen in Prince Charles since their wedding resulted in her choosing the first day of her Platinum Jubilee year to tell the world that she wanted Camilla to be Queen Consort, not the demeaning Princess Consort suggested in 2005.

Angela Levin uncovers Camilla's rocky journey to be accepted by the royal family and how she coped with her brutal portrayal in Netflix's The Crown. The public have witnessed her tremendous contribution to help those in need, especially during COVID. Levin has talked to many of Camilla's long-term friends, her staff, and executives from the numerous charities of which Camilla is patron. She reveals why Camilla concentrates on previously taboo subjects, such as domestic violence and rape. Most of all, Levin tells the story of how Camilla has changed from a fun-loving young woman to one of the senior royals' hardest workers. She has retained her mischievous sense of humor, becoming a role model for older women and an inspiration for younger ones.

great and down to earth sorry,

I wish Angela had read this herself. her voice and personality were missing with this narrator. please can you narrate your own books. thanks

Enjoyed very much

So many things have been reported about Camilla and I wanted to know her, and who better to tell her story than Angela Levin.

She is extremely well liked and people need to know that!

I liked the way Camilla came off as a caring, funny, smart woman.. supporting the love of her life as he ascends to his most challenging years of service!

Author Not Objective

Interesting story but author frequently sounds so fond of Queen that she isn’t objective about her subject.

Great listen

I’ve admired Camilla for a very long time. It’s nice to know she is finally being recognized for all the good she has done and the positive role she plays in Royal Family. I thoroughly enjoyed this listen. I will look into Angela Levin’s other books.

Really good book!!!

Loved the book and the narrator. I learned a lot from it and admire her even more. She has quietly done her job and looked fabulous doing it. I didn’t know how much she admired Philip.

Excellent Book about Queen Camilla

I have read other biographies on King Charles and Queen Camilla. I learned a lot from this book. I had no idea all of the royal family was so awful to her. She is so strong. I am glad King Charles gets to rule with a consort who supports him & isn’t out for her own glory.

A definite pr job

I am fine with a positive bio on her, but this is terrible writing. It is one positive adjective after another without any story. A press release would be more even handed. I hope to get my money back!

Same old hype, PR fluff

Just rehashed stories. Nothing new. PR piece by Angela (I hate Harry), Levin. If she missed the mark so wide with Harry. She did. How off is this saccharine sweet take on Camilla.
Several Christmas past Camilla contemplated divorce. Perfectly natural considering her husband is a workaholic. Not even a whisper of it is here. Camilla must be far more interesting than Angela grasps.
