Queen Camilla<\/a> is celebrating her 79th birthday<\/a> on Friday, July 17, marking the day with a new portrait and a special gift to the children of the United Kingdom. The Queen, who has long been a champion of literacy charities<\/a>, will be giving books to every sixth year student this Christmas, and along with her impact on reading, she\u2019s been a quiet, grounding support<\/a> for King Charles throughout their marriage.<\/p>\n

Since marrying Charles<\/a> in 2005, Camilla has been a source of steady reassurance for The King, and as she turns 79, body language expert Darren Stanton<\/a> is sharing how their partnership has only strengthened over the past two decades<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking on behalf of Betfair Casino<\/a>, Stanton says that Camilla\u2019s strategy during the couple\u2019s first royal tour to the United States in 2005 helped build the public\u2019s confidence in her\u2014as well as boosting The King.<\/p>\n

Widely regarded as a favorite amongst royal journalists and photographers, The Queen\u2019s warm personality and cheeky sense of humor<\/a> has also helped the public see King Charles<\/a> in a different way.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer willingness to laugh at herself\u2014and the genuine laughter she often triggers from Charles\u2014has given the public rare glimpses of his lighter, more human side<\/a>,\u201d Stanton says.<\/p>\n

Whether it’s pulling pints at a bar or interacting with penguins<\/a> at the London Zoo, The Queen never fails to keep her husband laughing. \u201cThose candid moments, sparked by Camilla\u2019s natural warmth and authenticity, have helped soften Charles\u2019 public persona and allowed people to connect with him on a much more emotional level,\u201d Stanton shares.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Queen Camilla is celebrating her 79th birthday on Friday, July 17, marking the day with a new portrait…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":298811,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[9,24,63,122,124,123],"class_list":["post-298810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=298810"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298810\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/298811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=298810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=298810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=298810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
