Royal Family News – Charles Married Camilla
Prince Charles was sweet on Camilla Parker Bowles but she married another man and he ended marrying the late Princess Diana. These two wild and crazy kids then went and did something we don’t recommend at home: had an affair.
Eventually Camilla divorced and sadly, Diana died in 1997. Charles and Camilla then married each other. Naturally, according to royal author Katie Nicholl, Charles initially wanted his family to accept Camilla especially his grandmother, the Queen Mother.
Royal Family News – Prince Charles Was In For A Surprise
Nicholl said in the documentary Charles & Camilla: King and Queen in Waiting, of Prince Charles and Camilla: “They clicked immediately. There was a chemistry between the two of them and really, I think probably Charles fell in love with Camilla from the moment that he met her. In many ways, she did tick the right boxes for a future consort for the Prince of Wales. It’s fair to say that the senior royals and certainly the important figures in Charles’ life — his mother, his father, and the Queen Mother, who Charles was incredibly close to, he always turned to for advice and would certainly have wanted the seal of approval from — they certainly didn’t think that she was suitable royal bride material.”
Apparently without the Queen Mother’s approval, Charles and Camilla went their separate ways. Royal writer Emily Andrews said, “Camilla did have too much of a colorful past and therefore was too much of a potential embarrassment.” And look at her now.
Queen Elizabeth Likes Camilla Parker Bowles
Camilla is finally queen material as Queen Elizabeth said during her Platinum Jubilee statement: “When, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me; and it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service.”
