If there is one talent that Camilla Parker Bowles has, it’s managing to become one of the most controversial figures in the royal family to one of the most low-key – and that’s a good thing, of course. Here are all the things that Camilla managed to accomplish in 2022. It’s safe to assume that it was clearly a good year for her.
In December, the Royal Family took to their official Instagram account to share a photo of the front cover of the magazine with Camilla on it. They captioned it with, “To mark the 100th anniversary of @goodhousekeepinguk, The Queen Consort, The Princess of Wales, The Princess Royal, The Countess of Wessex, The Duchess of Gloucester and Princess Alexandra have all contributed to a special issue highlighting some of the important causes they support.”

In November, Queen Consort Camilla described it as “a pleasure” to re-home Paddington bears with vulnerable children at a nursery after thousands of the toys were left in tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth. Camilla chatted with dozens of youngsters cared for by Barnardo’s charity at Bow day nursery in east London, during a picnic complete with marmalade sandwiches. She was joined by Paddington film cast members Hugh Bonneville and Madeleine Harris, and author Michael Bond’s daughter, Karen Jankel, for whom he wrote the stories.
Camilla also celebrated her 75th birthday in July. The birthday came during a period of change for the monarchy, with the queen consort speaking in the ITV documentary about “exciting new prospects” ahead as her position in the royal family takes on greater prominence.
The duchess is the former royal mistress who will now stand shoulder to shoulder as queen with Charles when he becomes king. Camilla’s public image has been transformed after she was cast as the “third person” in the Prince and Princess of Wales’s marriage, to become a campaigning member of the monarchy prepared to serve the nation.
In June, Camilla admitted she just had to find a way to live with the negative press coverage she suffered from for much of her adult life. Camilla made the rare remarks about her past and the scrutiny she received as she spoke to the magazine, British Vogue.
Camilla said the media attention is “not easy” and added: “I was scrutinized for such a long time that you just have to find a way to live with it. Nobody likes to be looked at all the time and, you know, criticized. But I think in the end, I sort of rise above it and get on with it.”
