1 SHE INHERITED $6 BILLION IN JEWELS
When Queen Elizabeth II died, she left Camilla with the keys to a vault of riches acquired by the royal family, worth at least $6 billion. This includes jewels like the Belgian sapphire necklace (which Elizabeth got as a gift from her dad) and tiara (which the queen bought herself), as well as treasures like the 105.6-carat Koh-i-Noor diamond, which is set in a crown.
2 HER FIRST HUSBAND WAS FORCED TO PROPOSE
Camilla fell in love with Andrew Parker Bowles in the late 1960s and dated him on and off. But in 1973 - while her new pal, Charles, was out of the country on naval duties Andrew's father put a wedding announcement in the paper, revealed royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith: "His hand publicly forced, Andrew proposed to his girlfriend of nearly seven years."
3 SHE'S AFRAID OF FLYING
"The duchess does not like flying, but I think she sometimes has to embrace that fear and get on with it," a spokesperson explained when Camilla once bowed out of a royal tour of Australia in 2018. She reportedly uses EFT which involves repeating a mantra while tapping your finger on your hand and other parts of your body to manage her anxiety during flights.
4 HER GREAT-GREAT-GRANDMOTHER WAS CHARLES' GREAT-GREAT-GRANDFATHER'S MISTRESS
