As Charles III 準備するs to celebrate the 周年記念日 of his 載冠(式)/即位(式) on May 6, he may 井戸/弁護士席 反映する on what has been a bittersweet first year as King.

Having 用意が出来ている all his life for the solemn 責任/義務 of 後継するing his formidable mother to the 王位, it must have been galling ? to say the least ? to find himself off games with a diagnosis of .

At 正確に the moment when he should have been hitting his stride, he was 軍隊d to 激突する the ブレーキs on. Not 平易な for a man who has always been in something of a hurry to get things done.

Having prepared all his life for the solemn responsibility of succeeding his formidable mother to the throne, it must have been galling for the King to find himself off games with a diagnosis of cancer, writes Sarah Vine

But every cloud has a silver lining. As 本人自身で 失望させるing as the past few months may have been, there has been one hugely 肯定的な 結果 from his illness. And that is how Queen Camilla has shown herself to be worthy, not just of 存在 his Queen (as she has undoubtably always been), but our Queen too.

I first met the Duchess of Cornwall, as she then was, many years ago at a dinner organised by 相互の friends. She and the King were not long married, and she still hadn’t やめる settled into the 役割 as 王室の consort. He, as you might 推定する/予想する, had an 空気/公表する of old-fashioned 形式順守 about him, and was rather stiff and anxious. She was the opposite: warm, mischievous, conspiratorial, occasionally indiscreet. She 即時に made one feel at 緩和する ? and by 拡張 made him seem more relaxed, since it was abundantly (疑いを)晴らす that everything about her delighted him. If you made her laugh, he would chuckle too ? that sort of thing. It was as though she were balm for his soul.

A long time after that, I was 特権d again to dine 個人として with them, this time at Clarence House. The 介入するing years had changed us all 大いに, but the Queen remained the same: warm, welcoming, gossipy, always that naughty twinkle in the 注目する,もくろむ. As for the King, he seemed so much happier, so much more comfortable in his own 肌. I 解任する a happy, informal supper with delicious food and 平易な conversation. In many ways, theirs is one of the 広大な/多数の/重要な love stories of our time, not least because they have 打ち勝つ so many 障害s to be together.

But in people’s minds, the spectre of Princess Diana still ぼんやり現れるs large over their union. And it is 理解できる that Diana’s loyal fans still feel an element of at best ambivalence, at worst 敵意, に向かって the former Mrs Parker Bowles.

It w as for that 推論する/理由, I think, that the King was 決定するd to see his wife 栄冠を与えるd with him. He wants the world to 認める how important she is to him, and to 受託する their 深い かかわり合い to each other, a かかわり合い that has 生き残るd the 実験(する) of time and the opprobrium of many.

It was a grand gesture, and an important one. But I think it’s only now, having seen her step up in his hour of need, that people are truly starting to 高く評価する/(相場などが)上がる her 質s. She will always have her critics. But she has worked hard for many years to earn the nation’s 信用 and forgiveness. This time she truly deserves it.
