Queen Camilla's three-word phrase to King Charles she always uses to 'rally him'
Whenever King Charles grows weary of his royal duties, his wife has a secret way of encouraging him to stick around at an event for just one more photo
The public image of the royal family may appear to be all all glitz and glamour, but thereâs a lot of hard work going on behind the scenes, says royal expert Roya Nikkhah.
Roya, The Timesâs royal editor, says this can be seen when royals such as the Duchess of Edinburgh take extra time to ensure that press photographers have all the angles they need, so events are presented in the best light.
But His Royal Highness King Charles, who has been undertaking public engagements for some 60 years â his first was a student garden party at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in June 1965 â can sometimes get a little tired of all the ceremony.

And that's why the photographers love her," Roya claimed.
Camilla has a gift for cheering up her husband, who is known for his moody bouts of introspection. Royal biographer Penny Junor told Vanity Fair: "She always has a twinkle in her eye and is a terrible giggler, often reducing Charles to fits of giggles too."

According to The Timesâs Tom Quinn: "One member of staff told me that at one point, Camilla hated the idea of being queen and would regularly say to Charles, 'Can't we get away from all this protocol? It's all b******s.'" The Buckingham Palace source claims that His Majesty, known for his distaste for foul language, would gently respond: "You're doing it [becoming queen] for me, darling."
Camilla had no ambitions in that direction, according to Penny Junor.

Junor reveals in her book 'The Duchess: The Untold Story' that Camilla's no-nonsense approach forged a strong connection with Prince Charles, as he then was.
The royal biographer writes: "She treated him like a normal person, as she had when they were together, and if ever he behaved badly, or was selfish or thoughtless, she wasn't afraid to tell him so. She was a proper friend."
