I understand and sympathize with the nominator's rationale (assuming that I'm understanding it correctly), but it is fundamentally flawed. No, she would not be notable if she wasn't Camilla's daughter; by the same token, Julia Lennon|Julia and Alfred Lennon|Alfred wouldn't be notable if it wasn't for John Lennon|their son, Alice Walton|Alice wouldn't be notable if it wasn't for Sam Walton|Sam, Chelsea Clinton|Chelsea wouldn't be notable if it wasn't for Bill Clinton|Bill and Hillary Clinton|Hillary, Martha Washington|Martha wouldn't be notable if not for George Washington|her husband, and the list goes on and on. If it wasn't for her mother no one would know who she is, but as her marriage received international coverage (''Sydney Morning Herald'', ''USA Today'') and the article is extensively sourced, she quite easily passes  (''A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject.''). "This person is only notable because of their family" is, like I said, fundamentally flawed - by that logic, Prince Charles, Abigail Adams, Kevin Federline, Paris Hilton and everyone else who is only where they are because of their family shouldn't have articles
