Queen Camilla knew marrying King Charles ‘was not a good idea’

Queen Camilla was afraid ahead of her wedding to King Charles.

The couple, who tied the knot in 2005, years after King Charles first wife Princess Diana passed away, did not believe the public will accept their matrimony.

Writing in book, My Mother and I, royal expert Ingrid Seward shared: “The full implication of what it would mean to be Prince Charles's wife frightened Camilla, and she was strident in her refusal to be sucked into the vortex of royal life."

Seward continued: "She persuaded Charles it would not be a good idea to consider marriage, telling friends the prospect was 'farcical' and that it would never happen as he would always put his duty first."

"Charles desperately wanted Camilla accepted by his family, especially The Queen, and refused to contemplate her hiding away," the expert noted.

"She realized she was a long way from being accepted as [King Charles's] consort, but she had to make the effort for his sake," Seward explained.
