New Delhi:
Queen Camilla’s sister, Annabelle Elliott, admits that despite Camilla being a member of the royal family for 20 years, she “feels impossible” to have her skimp on her sister. The revelation is in a special profile written by royal biographer Robert Hardman Tatlerfor the 20th anniversary of the King and Queen.
In the past, royal traditions required women to tummy the king or queen whenever they first saw it each day. Although this practice has been more relaxed over the years, the royal website says that “there is no mandatory code of conduct when meeting a queen or a member of the royal family.”
He also states that many still choose to follow traditional practices. For men, tradition is a simple bow of the head, and women are expected to give small tummy.
She cannot take herself to Katzie, but Ms Elliot is one of Queen Camilla’s “parties.”
Speaking to Mr. Hardman, she talked about Camilla’s unexpected rise to public life. “I think she actually transitioned beautifully. I mean, I see her from time to time and I really can’t believe it.”
Who is Annabelle Elliott?
Annabelle Elliott (76), Sonia Annabelle Chand, born on February 2, 1949, is Queen Camilla’s younger sister, and a respected British interior designer and bone dealer. She married the late Simon Elliott and her mother, and had three children, including the former Conservative co-chairman Sir Ben Elliott, who was a close friend of the Queen for a long time.
Ms Elliott played an important role in designing several royal properties under the Duke of Cornwall, Charles III, including the real estate of llwynywermod in Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall Inn of Poundbury. In 2023, she served as a woman in attendance during the King’s Corner Ceremony. After Prince William took over last year, she was let go of her duties in the design of the principality.
In 2024, Elliott was the pillar of supporting his younger sister, Camila, 77, through a series of trials. These included her dog loss, an ongoing family health battle and a struggle against pneumonia. Despite these challenges, Ms Elliott’s deep affection for her sister was evident in the BBC documentary Charles III: The Corner Year. In a particularly emotional moment, she recalled crying as she saw Camilla leave towards Westminster Abbey to crown the Queen.
“When I thought I was two years old and was watching [Queen Elizabeth II’s] Mr. Elliott is in the Cor crown on a small black and white TV with this golden coach along with his sister. This does not happen. It was a pretty moment. ”
