No, I do not have any affection for Camilla, Di\uchess of Rothesay (when in Scotland) and Duchess of Cornwall (when in England). I have some sympathy that Charles was not allowed to marry her when he originally may have wanted to, when her lack of virginity rules\d her out in the 1970s...but in marrying Peter parker-Bowles, and having two children (have they EVER been paternity tested???) while being Charles's mistress for over 30 years, and helping to choose Lady Diana Spencer as the well-bred but none-too bright (but always, alas to her chagrin, cunning) brood mare for the 'heir and the spare' from behind the scnenes (a marriage that no matter what Diana, who played the media excellently, said, was never a love match - the marriage saved the Sp.encer family fortune and rejuvenated Althorp, her family estate, and made the Spencers wealthy beyond their dreams again. Diana was supposed to be a vacuous well-bred brood mare...instead she became a media savvy tart.
Camilla does not naturally have the charm necessary to woo the public...a fact the Queen and Prince Philip knew all too well in the 1970s and probably regret worrying about now with ehe Diana Cult damaging the monarchy as it has...but, as Charles and the Palace announced only a week or so agao, when Charles becomes King, Camilla WILL become Queen, the fiction of making her Princess Consort instead of Queen Consort (and therefore not crowned with her husband at Westminster Abbey), is a done deal...they are hoping that the public in Britian will have accepted her by then (facelift, makeover and all).
Charles and camilla will not be popular monarchs...in fact, the Wins\dsors (who shoukd still be the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha-Schleswig-Holsetin-Sonderberg-Augustenberg (Wettin) family, except they changed the dynasty name in 1917 during the height of republican and anti-German feeling during the First World war, and DID NOT change it, as they should have, when Elizabeth (married to Philip, whose dynastic name is not his mother's anlglicised one (Battenberg became Mountbatten in 1917, also - as the 'Greek' royals were imported from Denmark to Greece in 1868, and practice marrying danes more than the current Danish royals do, and have never married Greeks).
The British Royals are looked down upon by almost every aristocratic and titled family in Britain, as they can only date their lineage back tio George, Elector of Hanover, a German, who arrived in 1714 sans wife but with 2 skinny and ugly mistresses, because he was a Protestant and parliament chose him to stop a possible Stuart restoration and because catholics were not allowed to succeed.
Does anyone in Britain love Camilla, let alone the Royals? No, not really...how do you think a scheming airhead like Diana became so popular? She was the most British (and of better lineage) than the Firm she married into. And like it or not, camilla will always be linke to the 'failure' of that sham fairytale and Diana's subsequent death, no matter how many lovers Diana had.
The British are welcome to them...I just hope Charles and Camilla's succession triggers a new debate for a Republic again in Australia...it is bad enough having a foreign Head of State (and his tours here, as Elizabeth's are, are no longer popular). The Austrlian, mary McDonald, who married Frederick of Denmark, is more popular here as a princess than any of the British royals are now!
So no, I do not love camilla...but if her becoming Queen Consort kickstarts getting rid of the British Royals as kings and Queens of Australia...I say bring on the succession as soon as Liz keels over!

If you mean Camilla Parker-Bowles, the former mistress and current wife of Prince Charles, then no.

No more, and no less than any other member of the royal family.
To love her, you would have to know her, and I'm too much of a commoner to move in her circles

What's to love in a woman who left her own mqrriage to go with Prince Charles, and then cheat with him throughout his marriage to someone else?
I just can't see what Charles sees in her.

No, but I don't hate her either.
I'm sure she's looked upon as an outcast by Royalty!
