Carilla (Carilla Theyra Emele; born 4 August 1952) is Princess of Durland, having succeeded to the throne on 29 August 1972.
Carilla was the first-born child and only daughter of Prince Garmaanas and Princess Theyra. At the time of her birth, she was second in the line of succession, behind her father. On the birth of her brother, Prince Sarnar, in 1955, she was displaced in the line of succession due to cognatic primogeniture. However, with the introduction of absolute primogeniture in 1959, she was returned to second in line ahead of her younger brother. Carilla was educated at the Jora School and studied for periods at the University of Herran.
Following the death of her grandfather Garmaanas I in 1962, Carilla became hereditary princess on the succession of her father. She spent long periods as regent on account of her father's ill health (he suffered from severe asthma). Carilla became princess following her father's death in 1972. She subsequently married commoner Olar Wismar, becoming the first monarch to marry a commoner and the first to marry whilst on the throne. Her daughter, Ingdil, is heir apparent.
Carilla is the longest-reigning monarch in recent Durlish history, having reigned for 51 years as of 2023.
