Camilla, the Queen Consort plays a huge role in the ‘happiness’ of her husband King Charles, according to a body language expert.

King Charles III, 73, has been married to the Queen Consort, 75, since 2005.

Speaking about Camilla‘s impact on the King, Darren Stanton said King Charles “relies on her to a large extent”.

King Charles relies on Camilla, Queen Consort’s support

Speaking on behalf of Betfair Casino, he stated: “A significant part of Charles‘s life is his relationship with Camilla. I believe when the couple went public with their romance and eventually went on to wed, Charles’ levels of confidence and self reassurance developed greatly.

“While he still makes the odd gesture here and there, he does not use pacifying and self reassurance to the extent or degree that he did in previous decades.

“It’s clear that Camilla has played a fundamental role in King Charles’ happiness and his ability to be comfortable both with himself and in the company of others. He seems a lot more confident and willing to converse and laugh with his family, as well as members of the public.”

Darren added: “We often see the couple attend several events together, but I do still believe Charles relies on Camilla to a large extent. If the two become separated, it’s clear Charles is keen to make sure she is nearby.”
