Queen Camilla Remembers a Dear Friend: Kevin Burke’s Legacy Lives On
Queen Camilla is in a period of reflection following the recent passing of Kevin Burke.
The former boyfriend and close friend of the Queen passed away in August at the age of 77, as reported by Mirror.
While the specific cause of his death has not been made public, Burke's family has requested donations to a heart health facility in his memory.
The connection between Queen Camilla and Kevin Burke dates back to the mid-1960s, long before she became a royal figure.
They first crossed paths at a party in 1965, when Camilla was still known as Camilla Shand.
Their relationship blossomed during that time, and they reportedly dated for several months, creating memories that would last a lifetime.
Burke later reflected on their time together in the biography, “The Duchess of Cornwall: Camilla's Story and Secrets.”
