Can Camilla be Queen of hearts to everyone?

Finally, it is here. King and Queen Charles and Camilla. What they always dreamed of. Yet things could have been so different.

Can Camilla be Queen of hearts to everyone?

As Prince Harry sat in the Abbey three rows back what was going through his mind as he watched his mother's nemesis, Camilla, being anointed as our next Queen? Was he thinking the scene would make an excellent chapter opener for his next bombshell book? Perhaps.

In Spare, Harry painted Camilla as the wicked stepmother, a villain who, he claimed, leaked stories to the media.

He even said that he and William had urged their father not to marry her.

While he has seemed to backtrack on some of his claims, saying he has a "huge amount of compassion for her and doesn't see her as "an evil stepmother", his revelations have caused irreparable damage to the family.

It is more than likely that, as Diana's representative on Earth, the Duke of Sussex was wondering what his mother would have made of it all.

After all, if the fairytale marriage had enjoyed the happy ending meant for it, it would have been a glamorous 61-year-old Diana taking her vows by the side of his father, King Charles III.

The story of how Camilla became our Queen began in the room that had been Windsor Castle's nursery, around 5pm on February 6, 1981 when Charles sat Diana down and asked her to marry him.
