The storied romance and ultimate marriage of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles is hardly the fodder that fairy tales are made of, and despite her right to do so at this time, Camilla has rejected touting her deserved the official title of Princess of Wales.

That, along with other reasons are why Prince Harry and William have grown to accept and appreciate their father’s mistress turned wife. 

Although through a majority of Camilla’s life she was known as the ‘other woman’  True Royalty TV producer Juliet Rice explained to Fox News, “There’s been this historical misconception about Camilla because of the circumstances surrounding Prince Charles’ marriage to Princess Diana,” she said.

“There’s a lot of misconceptions about what really went on there and throughout all that coverage, the ‘80s and beyond, she’s never said a word. We didn’t talk to her about that, but it was nice to see her as a human, a relatively normal human being.”

It is easy to point the finger at Camilla for Charles and the late Princess Diana’s marriage falling apart, however, as Prince Harry reasons in his book  “Harry: The Biography of a Prince, the Duke of Sussex,"

"To be honest, she’s always been very close to me and William. She’s not a wicked stepmother. Look at the position she’s coming into.” He also added: “Don’t feel sorry for me and William, feel sorry for her.”

Camilla has gracefully assumed her position as Duchess of Cornwall. Victoria Arbiter, a royal contributor for CNN told yahoo’s Royal Box that Camilla chose to go as the Duchess of Cornwall rather than Princess of Wales out of respect for Princess Diana.

Following Diana and Charles’ divorce in 1996, public perception of the Duchess of Cornwall was very poor due to her then very public affair with the Prince. Although her image improved when they finally wed in 2005, Camilla nevertheless thought the title ‘Duchess’ would be a better fit for her. 

Camilla has proved she is not trying to take over Diana’s role or fill her shoes, Prince Harry and Prince William also respect how happy Camilla makes their father and how well she gets along with their families. Rice said “William and Harry adore her,” she said. “And her children get on extremely well with William and Harry.”
