## Summary

Author Catherine Mayer’s new book claims that King Charles regarded Queen Camilla as “non-negotiable”, suggesting his commitment to her remained central after his marriage to Princess Diana ended. The article frames Camilla’s rise from a controversial figure to Queen as a significant change in public perceptions of the monarchy.

Mayer explores Camilla’s story in “Divide & Rule”, a book about royal wives she considers misunderstood, published around Camilla’s 17 July birthday. Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the book, while the article cites the author’s interpretation rather than an official account.
