Camilla Parker-Bowles waited 35 years, but still got his way, Charles shines

On September 8, 2022, the sad news stirred the world community. Her Majesty Elizabeth II is gone. No one doubted who would take the throne. Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles have received new honorary status. He became King of Great Britain and she became Queen Consort.



You can talk about Queen Elizabeth II indefinitely. And it will be absolutely deserved. But today's edition. "Site" I want to remind you of the incredible love story of King Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles.

Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles are not as rosy in the royal family as we would like. Perhaps, the Charles-Diana-Camilla love triangle can rightly be considered one of the most famous in the world.

And it all began with the acquaintance of the prince with Camilla, at that time Rosemary Shand, in the early 70s. It seemed like they were just made for each other. They shared common values and hobbies. Charles and Camilla loved riding and polo.



But to Charles’ great regret, Elizabeth II was absolutely not satisfied with Camilla’s candidacy as a bride. According to the official version, the reason was the poor fertility of the woman. However, in fact, the Queen was afraid of scandals, because in society there were many unpleasant rumors about Camille.

The lovers parted ways. Camilla married Andrew Parker-Bowles and had two children, while the Prince of Wales married Diana Spencer. But it soon became clear that this marriage was Charles' biggest mistake.



In his diary, he wrote, “I often feel like I’m in a cage, rushing into it and trying to get out.” For 5 years of living together with Diana, the man has changed a lot. Nothing made him happy or brought him happiness.

A new chapter in Charles and Camilla's relationship, Charles' close friends said he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. To protect him, Emily van Cutsem (a friend of the royal family) asked Camille to call the prince. She knew a woman would be able to pull him off.

As a result, the former lovers resumed communication. Camille often visited Charles with her husband. And then she started coming to him herself. She knew Diana.



GettyImages In my head formed the image of Charles the cheater, who began to cheat on his wife with an ex. But it is still not clear who was the first to betray. After all, Diana also had an affair on the side.

Princess Diana did her best to make Charles a dishonest man and a bad husband. However, in reality, the man resumed communication with Camilla after 5 years of marriage, which he unsuccessfully tried to save.



Moreover, according to Penny Junor, who wrote the biography of the Duchess of Cornwall, in the situation with Camilla and Charles, everything was not so clear. In the beginning, they communicated as friends. There's a lot of evidence of that. At the same time, Diana had an affair with James Hewitt.

Only 35 years after meeting Charles was able to marry Camille Parker-Bowles. It happened on April 9, 2005 in the municipal department of Windsor. The Prince of Wales became the first member of the British royal family to form a civil rather than church union. This was the second marriage for him and his wife.



GettyImages Queen Elizabeth II was not at the wedding. Charles and Camilla are still married. At all social events, they appear together. And even the clothes they choose so that it is combined with each other. Very nice and stylish couple!

The new King of Great Britain looks very happy when he is with his wife. If marriages are made in heaven, this is the case. It's stupid to blame Charles for betraying Diana. And she was not a squirrel, either.



GettyImages Members of the royal family are ordinary people who can make mistakes too. And just like all of us, they are entitled to a second chance. King Charles III made the right choice. I wish him and his wife a long life and great happiness.
