What are your honest opinions of Camilla Parker Bowles today in 2022 ?

I neither hate her, nor like her. She always seems like sort of a large pastel colored pillar always standing next Charles. Like I actually don’t even notice her half the time in pictures she’s so bland.

I’m not even trying to be mean. I just can’t figure out what her deal is. She’s kind of like Charles’s randomly placed old lady friend.

I don’t like Charles. They seem to be a good couple I guess.

Meh. She sucks. So does he. They're a good match of two sucky people.

Yeh, they seem made for each other. I would not want to hang out with either. She seems like she does her job which is to wear a hat and dress and go to boring functions without stirring up controversy? I guess that’s good. My kid just asked me who will be queen whh E dies and I was like “ummmm….very good question.” Queen Camilla?

There’s just so much wrong with that family. Elizabeth is probably the best they could hope for. It’s going downhill from here, I thimk.

I’m neutral to slightly positive. I strongly disliked her during the Diana days but have realized she and Charles were the victims of time and circumstances beyond their control. I admire her for taking a backseat, not seeking the limelight and paying her dues with her charity work, unlike the Meghan Markles of the world. She’s never complained publicly and has always been supportive of the BRF, even though they treated her like a second-class citizen for years and didn’t consider her good enough to be a marriage prospect for Charles. She held her head high despite being one of the most despised woman in the world. You’ve got to admire her for that, if nothing else.

My opinion of her improved over the years. Yes, during the Diana years I detested her (who didn't?) but a time went on, you can see she and Charles really do belong together. Out of all the royals in that generation, I think she would be the most fun to hang with.

She does her job without complaint. She is what she is.

Do you guys remember when Meghan dished to Oprah that someone in the Family asked/fretted about her having a dark baby?

I always wondered if it was Camilla who said that. There seemed to be difficulty btw Harry and Charles and I always wondered if that was the reason.

(I haven't followed the Royals since the Oprah interview).

I am British and back when he was in the tabloids for saying he wanted to be her Tampax and was at the time, married to Diana, I thought she was as digusting and base as him. And ugly.

But since then I've seen her quietly take on a role in the royal family and apparently she has been very kind and loving towards Wiliam and Harry. And that matters more than the historic adultery as far as I care.

I know I'm in the minority but my ex cheated on me and I deeply understand the pain it causes. Independent of all other circumstances, she deeply hurt Diana, William and Harry who are innocent parties. I could never do that. I'm sure most of you couldn't, either. It's truly scumbag behavior.

Yep. Spot on.

When Charles and Camilla got married, it was mentioned that when Charles became king, she wouldn’t have the title of Queen but instead Princess Consort. But that was 15+ years ago, and the public opinion seems to have shifted in her favor, so who knows, maybe Queen Camilla after all?

I think the way their love story was portrayed in The Crown made people actually like her better, at least in America.

Also neutral to slightly positive. I do think she and Charles belong together and are well suited. I have to admire Camilla's gumption and thick skin for all she went through. If I was the subject of that gross tampon stuff I would've crawled in a hole and died, let alone ever show my face to the Queen again (I know she wasn't the one that said it but damn that must've been humiliating.)

On an entirely superficial note, I really wish she'd update her hairstyle.
