Charles always wanted to marry Camilla Shand. Charles 22, met Camilla, 24, and their 18-month friendship turned into a romantic relationship. The couple dated for a long time before eventually marrying their first spouses.

“Lovely for you two to have a fling, but this absolutely cannot end in marriage.”

The Royal Family never considered Camilla a suitable bride for the heir apparent. She was never aristocratic enough to fit in the role of a future queen.
