Reflecting on their two decades together, Camilla expressed amazement at how quickly the time had ed. "Twenty years, who could believe it was 20 years? What is the secret? I don't know... well... I suppose it's just sort of friendship, really," she said as per Hello!, emphasizing the importance of mutual respect and companionship.
The role of laughter in their marriage
