Queen Camilla has a unique legacy within the British monarchy.

"Queen Camilla brings a breath of fresh air," Hardman told GB News.

OK! previously reported the biographer revealed the former Duchess of Cornwall doesn't interfere with Charles' relationship with his grandkids.

"She wouldn't want to be getting into the King's space with his grandchildren," Hardman said in an interview. "She’s not going to push herself. She's still very keen to maintain. She's still got her own family. That’s very important to her, and she appreciates how important it is for him."

"Normally, he's often there on a Thursday and a Friday. Obviously, the Waleses are within walking distance of the castle," Hardman explained. "He's never really had that sort of proximity to the younger family. Now, there's more overlap."

As Charles prepares for his operation, Kate Middleton is on medical leave until the spring as she heals from abdominal surgery. Prince William is expected to take a step back from his duties to care for the Princess of Wales and their three youngsters, and royalists believe Kate's absence will be felt.

"Ever the picture of assurance and health, the Princess of Wales who often waved at the waiting press pack within hours of giving birth, is in hospital," Dr. Tessa Dunlop told an outlet. "The news that Kate has undergone planned abdominal surgery and will remain in the London Clinic for the next couple of weeks has been met with surprise."

"Kate is the Windsor's workhorse and show pony, she is their class act and their everyday stalwart," the commentator continued. "She seamlessly and without complaint occupies a unique role as the common touch Queen-in-waiting."
