It’s heartwarming to see King Charles and Queen Camilla reflect on their two-decade-long marriage with such genuine affection, especially given the rollercoaster they’ve been through as a couple. Camilla’s lighthearted take on the secret to their lasting bond—friendship and laughter—feels really relatable. After all, even for royalty, life comes with its busy schedules and challenges, so finding joy in each other’s company and maintaining that sense of camaraderie seems key.

Her analogy of their marriage being like “ships that pass in the night” gives a poignant glimpse into their lives—constantly on the move, perhaps missing each other’s company during the hustle and bustle, but still deeply connected. The fact that they plan to exchange anniversary gifts later and save the celebration for a quieter time speaks to their ability to make space for each other, even amidst their demanding roles.

It’s a lovely reminder that sometimes the most enduring relationships thrive not just on grand gestures, but on the simple, everyday moments shared between two people who respect and understand each other. Their anniversary in Italy may be a bit delayed, but it sounds like they’re making the most of their time together, even if it’s just in the small moments of connection.
