Queen Consort Camilla has a secret trick that she pulls out to keep her husband King Charles on track at public engagements.
Camilla, 75, is known to tug on King Charles' jacket to let him know when to be quiet when they're out at events together and she thinks he's talking too much.
The tactics have been revealed by their best pal and telly star Gyles Brandreth, who wrote all about how Camilla keeps Charles, 74, in line in his recent book Elizabeth.
He revealed: “When he gets tetchy – because the pen doesn’t work, as it didn’t when he was signing a document at Hillsborough Castle in County Down – she soothes him, putting out a hand and kneading him gently in the small of his back.
“When he is running late or talking too much, she tugs discreetly at the back of his jacket – sometimes quite vigorously.”
Camilla has previously been described to be Charles' strength and stay, just as his mother the Queen referred to her husband Prince Phillip.
Gyles said: “She is fundamental to the architecture of his life.
“She is his good companion and best friend and, now that his children have left home, she is the only person in the entire world with whom he can be completely free and open.
“Camilla is his strength and stay, the ally who knows him better than anyone and, now that he’s King, the only person who can still treat him as an equal."
He continued to tell the readers: “I have watched them at close quarters – at Highgrove, before they were married and since, at Clarence House, at Buckingham Palace.
“He adores her, clearly. In small-talk, he mentions ‘my darling wife’ in almost every sentence.
“She looks at him with a kindly eye, amused and aware of his foibles."
Camilla and Charles reportedly started having their affair in 1986, when they were both married to different people.
This became public in 1992, when the infamous private phone call became released to the public, where Charles talked about being transformed into a pair of her "knickers" or her tampon because Charles said, "I'll just live inside your trousers or something. It would be much easier."
After they both went through divorces and later keeping their relation out of the public eye, the couple got married in April 2005, about 35 years after they first met.
Although Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Phillip, were not in attendance at the ceremony, they came to the reception at Windsor Castle, according to The Sun.
The Queen also wore a white outfit to the reception, mirroring the all white outfit Camilla had worn to Charles' wedding to Diana several years prior.
