Camilla Parker Bowles will make a great Queen Consort, according to a former Buckingham Palace spokesperson.

The Duchess of York has been by Prince Charles' side and a royal expert thinks that she will be a good partner to the future king once the Prince of Wales takes over the monarchy. Camilla has a certain personality that would make her a great consort to the heir to the throne.

"Camilla has supported her husband, Prince Charles, since their marriage in April 2005 and doing a good job of it ever since. She's a no-nonsense lady and believes that there are things you can change and there are things you can't and those you can't don't waste time trying. As an army wife in her first marriage she became used to dealing with people and their problems. This has helped her enormously in her charitable work and supporting them," Dickie Arbiter told Hello!

The "On Duty with the Queen" author also praised Camilla's attitude towards the public. Arbiter believes that the way Camilla interacts with the people will be useful once Prince Charles becomes the new monarch.

"She's inquisitive so she'll ask probing questions," he said. "She's interested so she'll listen and won't look over shoulders to see if there's someone more important and interesting, and she'll talk because she likes meeting people which makes her a good communicator, at ease talking to people from all walks of life whether a head of state or just chatting on walkabouts. She also has a good sense of fun and humour."

However, according to Richard Palmer, a royal correspondent, Camilla would not make a great Queen Consort. According to him, until this time, the duchess "has not persuaded the British public. She regularly comes near the bottom of royal popularity polls."

Palmer insisted that while monarchy is not a popularity contest, it should represent the best of Britain. Also, some claim that Camilla is not fussed about titles and has doesn't want to be Queen Consort in the first place.

In related news, Camilla and Prince Charles' relationship stood the test of time because she "kind of jollies" the future king. In addition, she knows how to ease the second-in-line to the throne's burden.

"She doesn't let him get too overburdened by the woes of the world," former press secretary Charles Anson said.
