In 1980, Prince Charles started dating Lady Diana Spencer. He proposes just a year later, and they enjoy a fairy-tale wedding ceremony viewed around the world. But in 1986, Charles reportedly began an affair with Camilla. That affair soon went public, and in 1992, Charles and Diana officially separated. 

Amid the resulting scandalous rumors, Camilla and Andrew announced their divorce. Soon after, Charles and Diana finalized their own divorce. But just a year later, Diana died in a tragic car accident. Charles and  his sons Prince William and Harry mourned, and Charles seemed to temporarily distance himself from Camilla. 

But that distance didn’t last long. Gradually, Charles started to take his relationship with Camilla public. Both of his sons met Camilla, although the Queen initially did not want to socialize with her. It took months before the Queen finally approved. And in 2005, Charles and Camilla tied the knot in a civil ceremony. At that time, Camilla received the title of Her Royal Highness, The Duchess of Cornwall.

Does Camilla Want To Become The Queen To Charles’ King? 

As a result of surviving the scandal, some might assume Camilla would look forward to even further legitimacy by becoming the Queen when Charles becomes King. But a royal family expert quoted by Nicki Swift claims that’s not true. That expert, Penny Junor, believes titles don’t mean anything to Camilla.

And rather than look forward to the title of Queen, Camilla may fear “the prospect of being Queen or Princess Consort” because of the spotlight, explained Junor. “The fuss there will be at the time, the comparisons to Diana, it will be a very difficult time for her,” predicted the royal family expert. “She is a normal woman who, because of her relationship with Charles, has found herself in an abnormal situation.” 

But Junor also believes that Charles will insist on a title change for his wife. “Charles … loves her so much that he would find it difficult to give her a lesser title,” declared Junor. “It would be demeaning.”
