When King Charles acceded the throne, his wife Camilla became Queen Consort of the United Kingdom, under the late Queen Elizabeth II's wishes.
Camilla has been happily married to King Charles since 2005 - but has belonged to the same social circles as the royals since she was in her early 20s.
Royal guests including Princess Anne, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, and Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon even attended her first wedding with Andrew Parker Bowles, a then Guards officer, in the early 1970s.
