I think we can all agree that Camilla Parker Bowles’s life within the sphere of the Royal Family has had its ups and downs.
It all began with her infamous affair with Prince Charles, leading to Camilla becoming despised by large chunks of British public. She later married the now-King and was able to recover some measure of popularity. Next year, she’ll officially be made Queen Consort at Charles’ coronation.
Despite the many chaotic moments, Camilla’s family has always stood by her – not least her little-known sister, Annabel Elliot.
Camilla is the elder sister, and over the years, the siblings’ paths have crossed many times within the Royal Family. Camilla and Annabel had their fair share of heated arguments as children, but as siblings do, they’ve managed to ensure their bond was never damaged.
That said, rumor has it that Annabel and Camilla’s husband, Charles, have also been known to clash from time to time.
Just days ago, Annabel Elliot and Camilla were together at an event. We wonder if you think they look as alike as we do …
Camilla, Queen Consort, has become an important figure in the British royal circle over the past decade. When she’s officially crowned at King Charles’ coronation next year, she’ll take on even more responsibilities.
King Charles & Camilla – coronation
The reality is that Camilla’s entrance into the Royal Family was more than just a tad controversial, but we’ll get to that in a moment.
On May 6 next year, Britain will moving into a new royal era. King Charles’s coronation will occur at Westminster Abbey. About 2,000 guests are expected to attend.
According to a press statement, King Charles’ coronation “will reflect the monarch’s role today and look towards the future, while being rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry.”
“The Coronation is a solemn religious service, together with an occasion for celebration and pageantry,” the statement read.
According to the Royal Collection Trust, during the coronation service, the orb is placed in the monarch’s right hand as they are invested with the symbols of sovereignty. It is then placed on the altar before the moment of crowning.
