Following the release of Spare by Prince Harry, Queen Consort Camilla returned to work for the first time today (January 18).
Camilla was in great spirits as she visited the University of Aberdeen and talked of “precious time” with King Charles in Scotland.
Camilla said: “Coming to this university, and to this city, has always felt a bit like coming home to me.”
In her address to staff and students, she added: “My husband and I are lucky enough to spend precious time each year in Aberdeenshire.”
Camilla’s dignified in the face of Harry swipes
It’s the first outing Camilla has made since Prince Harry unleashed a number of swipes at her in his memoir Spare.
While doing publicity for the book, Harry called Camilla “dangerous” and a “villain”.
Speaking on American show 60 Minutes, he said: “She was the villain, she was the third person in the marriage.
“She needed to rehabilitate her image.
“The need for her to rehabilitate her image… that made her dangerous because of the connections she was forging within the British press.”
Harry also recalled wondering if Camilla would be “like all the wicked stepmothers in the stories”.
He later told Good Morning America that he doesn’t consider her to be a wicked stepmother.
Harry added that he has “a huge amount of compassion for her”.
Putting a brave face on things
Meanwhile, Camilla remained upbeat and some suggested that Harry’s smears have only sealed his fate, not hers.
During her trip to Scotland, she talked of the “great honour” of being made a chancellor of the University of Aberdeen.
The Queen Consort explained that one of her roles was to “defend the university so that ‘raven wolves do not invade the college and its flock’.”
She then joked that she was lucky she hadn’t to take on that particular task just yet.
