Camilla, Queen Consort, may have been around for decades, but it took years for her to be allowed to marry King Charles III. After the death of Princess Diana, Charles and Camilla had to walk a very careful line. Diana had been dearly beloved by the public and Camilla was seen as the other woman who even the royals couldn’t approve of. Charles and Camilla did forge ahead with their relationship, however, which led to their wedding in 2005. You’d think that a royal wedding would bring the warring factions together, but body language expert Judi James examined the wedding photographs and revealed that everything between Camilla, Queen Elizabeth II, and Prince Philip wasn’t as peachy as it seemed.
“At the poses after their wedding, the queen and Philip stood back and away from the couple on the steps, which prevented any happy family photographs being taken and it looks very much as though [Princess] Anne is equally unwilling to look anything more than frosty here, too,” James told Express, about the tension in the air.
Given that the queen reportedly, per The Daily Mail, told Charles – after having a number of martinis — that she would not condone his adultery nor forgive Camilla for not leaving Charles alone to allow his marriage to recover, the body language makes sense.
