As she celebrates her 77th birthday today, we take a look back at how Queen Camilla felt about meeting Prince William for the first time back in 1998
Queen Camilla was reportedly a bundle of nerves during her first meeting with Prince William , according to royal author Penny Junor.
However, Charles insisted she stay, dismissing her departure as "ridiculous". Instead, he gave William a heads up that Camilla would be there when he got back. After their time together, Camilla's reaction was to quip: "I need a gin and tonic." According to Junor, Camilla was clearly joking, and the introduction to young William went well. He was described as "friendly", and Camilla was happy to move at his pace.
