Queen Camilla "has not won the nation's hearts", despite undergoing a "PR miracle" with the British public, a public relations expert has claimed.

The Queen was largely blamed by the public for ending the marriage between King Charles and the late Princess Diana, which resulted in divorce in 1996.


The current King and Queen later tied the knot on April 9, 2005, at the Windsor Guildhall.

A PR expert Luana Ribeira spoke exclusively to GB News to explain how Camilla eventually earned acceptance from the British people.

She claimed: "I’m not sure Queen Camilla will ever fully win over the hearts of the people.

"The mere fact there even is a Queen Camilla is a PR miracle of sorts when you consider the vehement feelings the British public had about her during the 1990s."

The founder of Dauntless PR described the Queen as "no-nonsense".

She explained: "Queen Camilla is the kind of straight-talking, no-nonsense person who is never going to make people dewy-eyed at the sound of her name.

"I don’t think she will ever be truly loved by the British public but I think she has earned their grudging respect."

Ribeira suggested ways the Queen could win over the hearts of the British people.

She added: "Queen Camilla’s best course of action is to continue exactly as she is, quietly carrying out her duties as the King’s wife and the champion of many charities and good causes.

"Queen Camilla has proved herself to be a loyal and devoted partner, even during the years she was demonised as Britain’s most hated woman.

"She has shown us that she isn’t going anywhere and she will continue to show up and carry out her duties, regardless of what people may think about her.

"This 'keep calm and carry on' spirit is a crucial part of her redemption arc.

"While it might not have won the nation’s hearts, it has earned their acceptance."
