Queen Camilla has made a very smart decision to strengthen the King Charles III's monarchy.

The 78-year-old had the infamous title of 'Laziest woman' and reinvented herself to get rid of it, winning over critics and fans alike.

Queen Camilla's triumphant transformation

Queen Camilla has transformed her public image from divisive figure to beloved royal. As a steadfast partner to the monarch, she has proven that even the most unlikely of figures can rise above adversity and become a symbol of hope and resilience.

Appearing on Tim Lihoreau’s Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner? podcast, Fern emotionally highlighted Camilla's devotion and dedication to the royal family, revealing that she was once known as “the laziest woman in England.”

The author added: She “really did step up” after the King was diagnosed with cancer in 2024, shouldering a great deal of the burden of public engagements while the monarch was undergoing treatment.

Fern admitted that the current Queen has a very different style from her predecessor: “Camilla doesn't have that sense of history and behaviour that the Queen had.

“I think the old Queen stood by everything she'd learned as a child, and she kept that routine of behaviour.”

“Queen Camilla, on the other hand, has had a proper life, a real life, and quite an exciting and at times controversial time. But I think she's much more easy. She's much more easygoing and informal," Fern said.

Undoubtedly, Queen Camilla's journey to the throne is a testament to her resilience and dedication. Her unwavering determination turns her dreams into reality.

Fern admitted a special affection for Diana, the queen who never was: “She wasn't really properly looked after when she was within the royal family,” Fern said. “Maybe they just don't understand that.

The author went on: "And maybe the advisors around the royal family were also not offering the help that they could have given her.”

Recalling the fateful night in August 1997, when news broke that Diana had died in a car crash in Paris, Fern also blasted Harry over his decision of for stepping down as senior working royal and relocated to the US.

She said: “Diana now would be furious that [Harry and Meghan] dumped everything and gone to America.”
