Prince Charles married his longtime girlfriend Camilla in April 2005, culminating their loving and controversial relationship after more than 30 years. Because they were both divorced, which meant an obstacle for the church, a civil ceremony was held first. Only then did the newlyweds receive a church blessing in the chapel at Windsor Castle.

Many expressed the opinion that Camilla broke up the prince’s marriage to his first wife – Lady Diana. She tragically died in a car accident in Paris in 1997, about a year after she divorced Charles. At the prince’s side, however, as the Duchess of Cornwall, she eventually won the favor of the British with her immediacy and sense of humor. The famous romance of the heir to the British throne with the daughter of a war hero allegedly began in 1970 in a royal park. “My great-grandmother was your great-grandfather’s lover, what about you?” Camilla is said to have asked Charles during a game of polo. However, their relationship was then ended by Charles’s military duties. When the prince returned after six months at sea, Camilla was already married to an army officer, Andrew Parker Bowles. However, she continued to remain a close friend of Charles. He went to be the godfather of her son Thomas, she allegedly helped him find a suitable wife – Lady Diana Spencer.

However, after their wedding in 1981, the closeness of Charles and Camilla caused great strain in the union. Their intimate references, such as Charles’s “I’d like to be your tampon” or Diana’s televised statement “there were three of us in that marriage,” were leaked to the public. The public reaction was strong and Camilla had to face expressions of anger even on the street. In 1994, Charles officially admitted adultery in a television interview, and two years later he and Diana divorced. Camilla divorced her first husband in 1995. enlarge Photo: SITA/AP, Chris Jackson Britain No Time To Die World Premiere Members of the British royal family – from left: Duchess Kate of Cambridge, her husband – Prince William, Duchess Camilla of Cornwall and her husband – Prince Charles.

It was her love for horses, dogs, nature, passion for hunting (she used to hunt foxes before this hunting was banned in 2004), gardening, and interest in painting and architecture that united her in Prince Charles.
