Queen Camilla Described as ‘Fearless’ and ‘Doesn’t Depend’ on King Charles Like He Depends on Her
There was a time when Queen Camilla (formerly known as Camilla Parker Bowles) was the most hated woman in Britain. She was blamed for the breakup of then-Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s marriage, and when Diana died following a car crash in 1997, Camilla was labeled public enemy No.1.
Over the years though, many softened their stance on how they felt about Charles’ second wife. But what she went through was scrutiny some people wouldn’t be able to take. Camilla weathered the storm and now she is the queen. An expert has called her “fearless” and says she is actually King Charles‘ “rock” who the monarch “depends on.”
Expert says Queen Camilla ‘asserts herself with strength and fearlessness’
Darren Stanton is a body language and behavioral expert with a degree in psychology. He previously worked as a police officer and used his expertise to uncover the truth when interviewing hundreds of suspects. He later moved into media and TV as a consultant and has been dubbed the “Human Lie Detector.” Stanton has also analyzed several members of the royal family and observed a change in Camilla since she became queen, revealing that she “asserts herself with strength and fearlessness” during public events.

Speaking on behalf of Betfair Live Casino, Stanton said: “Camilla wants to prove her significance as the queen. She wears these white ethereal, angel-like clothes and she always feels a lot of joy when she’s carrying out her responsibilities as queen. All of her gestures are genuine and demonstrate pure joy and happiness.
He continued: “Since becoming queen, I have not seen many instances of Camilla displaying fake emotions when she’s representing the family — whether that is independently or as a team. If she was putting on a brave face, she would be displaying disingenuous smiles or cleverly distracting herself — which would show us a less confident side of her.
“Instead, Camilla seems to have an abundance of resilience in everything she is faced with as queen. Her gestures are always open and honest, which display genuine feelings when we see her take on her royal duties. She always has her hands by her side, which shows she’s authoritative and confident in her role as queen. Since first being in the public eye, Camilla has always had a very confident and strong demeanor about herself. She asserts herself with strength, compassion, and fearlessness. She’s found her calling in terms of being there for Charles and being queen … Camilla doesn’t need to depend on King Charles to find her inner confidence.”
Camilla is King Charles’ ‘rock’ and he depends on her

Stanton added that while Camilla “doesn’t depend” on King Charles, she is definitely his “rock.”
The expert explained that “Camilla is seen as a very important member of the royal family. She is Charles’ closest confidante, rock, and a great figure for the royals to follow. It’s clear from when she is interacting and being out and about with various members of the royal family, she is highly respected.
“This is demonstrated through the likes of Prince William and Princess Anne reciprocating her body gestures and letting her take the lead from time to time. This tells us they’re feeling comfortable and at ease with her being in control. Camilla shows no signs of nervousness or feeling out of place, and that proves she’s confident to show up whenever duty calls.”
