Camilla paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, praising her for being a 'sole woman' among men when she came to the throne and 'carving out a role' for herself.
In a personal tribute to the late monarch that was broadcast before Britain's national minute of silence on Sunday, Camilla praised Elizabeth for being a"sole woman,""carving out a role" for herself in a male-dominated world upon her accession to the throne in 1952, and said she would always remember her"unforgettable" smile.
"I remember coming from here, Clarence House, to go to Windsor the day I got married, when I probably wasn't firing on all cylinders—quite nervous!" she said in the prerecorded tribute. "There was nothing I could do. I was halfway down in the car before I realized," Camilla said."And [the queen] could see it, and she laughed about it and just said, 'I'm terribly sorry,' and she did have a good sense of humor."
After a well-reported first meeting during an event held at Charles' country home in 2000 between the queen and Camilla, the royal relationship developed, and Charles and Camilla became engaged in February 2005 with the monarch's blessing.
