Camila pays tribute to Elizabeth II, “the only woman” in a world of men

Sep. 18 () –

England’s queen consort, Camilla, has noted that the late Queen Elizabeth II was “the only woman” in a male-dominated world of prime ministers and presidents.

“It must have been very difficult for her to be the only woman. There have been no women prime ministers or presidents. She was the only one, so she carved her own niche,” Camila said in an interview with the BBC that will be broadcast on Sunday night, before the official minute of silence for the monarch scheduled for 8:00 p.m.

The advance of these statements also reflects Camila’s admiration for Elizabeth II’s smile. “I will always remember her smile”, she has affirmed in a very emotional and personal tone, as well as her “wonderful blue eyes that lit up her whole face when she smiled”.

“I will always remember that smile. That smile is unforgettable (…). It will always be part of our lives. Now I am 75 years old and I cannot remember anyone who is not the queen in her position,” Camila said.

Camila is queen consort and princess of Wales, but her beginnings in public life were difficult, since she was held responsible for the separation of Carlos, now Carlos III, from his first wife, Diana, who also died in a tragic traffic accident in Paris in 1997. Carlos and Camilla married in 2005 and she was finally accepted into the Royal Family with the Queen’s blessing and will be crowned Queen at her husband’s imminent coronation.

Prince Andrew, brother of the new king, Carlos III, has also paid tribute to the queen, referring to his “dear mom, mother and his majesty, three in one.” “It has been an honor and a privilege to serve you. Mother of the Nation, your devotion and personal service to our nation is unique and unmatched. Your people have shown their love and respect in so many ways…and I know you want to honor your respect,” he explained.

“Mommy, I will forever treasure your love for a son, your compassion, your care, your trust. Your knowledge and wisdom are infinite, without borders (…). I will miss your insight, your advice and your humor “, has added.

Now, “when our book of experiences closes, another one opens and I will always have you close to my heart, with my deepest love and gratitude, and I will gladly leave with you as a guide”, Andrés has riveted in a public message.
