The duchess is fed up with being the royal family outsider.
She has stuck it out for more than 12 years as a controversial and highly scrutinised member of the royal family. Through it all, the Duchess of Cornwall has been determined to ignore the haters and uphold her public duties.
But last week cracks began to appear as Camilla gave an unprecedented interview in which she revealed the extent of her struggle with life in the public eye.
Insiders say the pressure on Charles’s wife – who is often blamed for the breakdown of his marriage to Princess Diana in 1996 – has been increasing in the lead-up to the 20th anniversary of Diana’s death.
And we’re told Camilla is so fed up with the increased scorn she now faces, she’s all but ready to quit the palace for good.
“Sometimes you get up in the morning and think you can’t do it, and you just have to,” Camilla said in the revealing chat. “The minute you stop it’s like a balloon, you run out of puff. You sort of collapse in a heap,” she added.
It was a clear indication that all is not well at Clarence House – and sources say it’s just the tip of the iceberg.
