The Queens carriage procession passes through as thousands of excited fans wait to greet her – and Camilla the Duchess of Cornwall

Charles was devastated. He couldn’t
understand why his mother had taken so bitterly against the woman he
loved. Nor could he see that his request to the Queen so soon after
Diana’s death was premature.

These were the days, of course, when
memories of Princess Diana, accompanied by considerable public anger at
the way she was treated, were still fresh in the nation’s mind.

Today, the only mention of the tragic
Princess came four days before the Jubilee weekend from Prince William,
in a touching TV interview recorded not here but in the U.S., where
affection for — and understanding of — Diana remains high.

Here, the woman Diana described as the
‘third person’ in her marriage has not merely been accepted into the
Royal Family. She has clearly turned into its most central figure after
the Queen herself, a vital and trusted lynchpin between the young and
the old.

During the four-day Jubilee weekend,
Camilla has never been without a word: here, to the Duchess of
Cambridge; there, to the Queen; an amusing aside with Prince Philip; a
giggle with the young Princes.

Throughout the spectacle, she has been
the most animated and relaxed figure in the Royal Family, plugged in to
them all. The truth is that she has become — as we first saw as the
Royals grouped with the Queen on board the Spirit of Chartwell on the
Thames on Sunday — an integral element of the so-called ‘Magnificent
Seven’.

These core VIP family figures, in addition to the Queen and Prince Philip, are Charles, Camilla, William, Kate and Harry.

So there was Camilla in the spotlight
while Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and Princess Anne — who has always
been frosty towards her elder brother’s wife — were consigned to the
margins on other boats.

The reason? A new palace policy of a ‘slimmer’ family focusing on the monarchs and her direct heirs.

Harry, too, will probably disappear
from this core group the moment William and Kate have a baby and the
child is old enough to take his or her place in public.

Yesterday, not one of these
‘relegated’ royals was even allowed on the Buckingham Palace balcony
with the Queen when she excitedly took in the RAF Battle of Britain
fly-past salute followed by the Red Arrows. No Anne. No Andrew. No
Edward. Yet a smiling Camilla was there with the other principal royals.

How very different from the Queen’s
Golden Jubilee a decade ago, when Diana had been dead a mere five years
and Camilla was a peripheral presence, shepherded carefully out of the
spotlight.

On that occasion, when there was a
concert in the gardens of Buckingham Palace, and Charles went on stage
to give his thanks and pay tribute to his mother, William and Harry were
with him, but there was no sign of Camilla.

This time, on Monday night after the
concert watched by tens of thousands round the Victoria Memorial and
down the Mall, when the Prince again paid a warm tribute to ‘Mummy’, the
Duchess of Cornwall was not only on stage with him, but standing
alongside the Queen.

For Diana’s friends and millions of supporters, Camilla’s comfortable prominence is bound still to be painful.

What has to be said about the Duchess
of Cornwall, however, is that since marrying the Prince of Wales in a
civil ceremony at Windsor in April 2005, she has made a spirited effort
to win over her detractors and has worked hard embedding herself as the
wife of the heir to the throne.

Charles’s relaxed and jolly manner
during the past few days can also be ascribed to Camilla’s influence.
The raw humour and blue jokes that first attracted him to her at the
start of their epic love affair 40 years ago still make him ‘giggle’.

His confidence and widely praised
speech after Monday night’s concert is not unconnected to her perceived
growing popularity with the people, even though many will never forgive
her for her role in Diana’s tragedy.

‘No one should underestimate how proud
the Prince is of her,’ says a friend. ‘He sees Camilla as a
misunderstood woman who has stuck to her guns. This weekend he has
derived great comfort and pleasure from the fact people have been
applauding Camilla. It’s what he’s always wanted.’

The intervening years, however, have
been difficult for the Queen, who has had to tread a delicate path
between public animosity towards the woman Diana described as the
‘rottweiler’ and her son’s refusal to give up the woman he loved. Under
the circumstances, the Queen really didn’t have much choice, because the
heir to the throne could hardly go on living indefinitely with a woman
who was not his wife.

When they married seven years ago, the
Queen clearly made up her mind to give them her support, hence her
amusing speech at that Windsor Castle wedding breakfast in which the
horse-racing enthusiast Queen welcomed the newlyweds ‘into the winners’
enclosure’.

Brolly good fun! The crowd comes down The Mall to see the Queen appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace
