In 1981, Crown Prince Charles and Diana entered the palace of marriage. Charles was of noble birth and possessed the gentlemanly demeanor unique to the British royal family. Diana is beautiful and kind, and she uses her influence to make great contributions to global public welfare. During that time, Charles and Diana were the most envied fairy lovers in the world.
However, after fifteen years of marriage, the two formally divorced in 1996. Later, in 2005, Charles married Camilla, a secret lover he had been with for thirty years. Diana revealed in her autobiography that Camilla was the third person involved in their marriage.

You know, whether it is looks, age, character, Diana is completely better than Camilla, but Charles has always been in love with Camilla. Why is that?
In the general perception, men always like young and beautiful women. Clinton, for example, made mistakes because of young Lewinsky. But Prince Charles is clearly not an ordinary person.
Ever since he was established as heir to the British throne in 1952, Charles remains Crown Prince to this day. Although he has become the holder of multiple embarrassing records, Charles has never complained in public or in the media. There is no doubt that Charles is a very good at forbearance. This is also reflected in his concept of love.
In 1970, 22-year-old Charles met 23-year-old Camilla by chance during a polo match. The two young men and women looked at each other, and it was like dry wood meeting a fire, and the feelings began to heat up continuously. By 1971, however, Charles had temporarily left Camilla for joining the Navy, and the relationship between the two had become more distant. By 1973, Camilla was married to Andrew Pauls, an officer who had pursued her for years.
Andrew had been a friend of Prince Charles. Camilla soon bore him a child after marrying Andrew. Camilla, meanwhile, continues to maintain a close relationship with Charles.

In 1977, Charles met Diana, who was only 16 years old. Diana was the daughter of the Eighth Earl of Seibin. The Scybins are a well-known family with a long history, and after centuries of operation, the Scybins have gradually entered the center of The British circle of power. Powerful figures such as Charles II, the Duke of Devonshire, and the Duke of Albertan all have certain ties to the Scybin family. This means that Charles and Diana's relationship with Diana has a political mission from the beginning.
After several years of contact, Charles successfully proposed to Diana, and the two officially announced their marriage in 1981. At St. Paul's Cathedral in London, Camilla also stood quietly in the crowd as the couple received the blessings of the audience.
After getting married, the two acted very sweetly on various big occasions. Soon, however, some tabloids revealed news that the prince and his wife were living in a disharmonious life.
Their lives are certainly not harmonious. Diana's education level is very limited, and she can't even pass the high school make-up exam. Charles, on the other hand, was a Cambridge graduate, a well-informed royal heir who liked to study history and psychology. Under the huge educational gap, Charles and Diana had few common hobbies.
In their marriage of more than a decade, Camilla has maintained a close relationship with Charles. Charles's depression and pain were often soothed only by Camilla.

Diana didn't like Camilla and guessed about her husband's relationship with her. But because of the face of the British royal family, Diana has not been able to make this matter public. She can only refer to Camilla as a "Rotwell dog" in her autobiography, describing her as a third party in the marriage.
In a television interview in 1994, Charles admitted to maintaining a close relationship with Camilla. This eventually led to the breakdown of the two marriages. In 1995, Camilla divorced her husband, Andrew. The following year, Charles's marriage to Diana also came to an end.
In 1997, Diana died in a traffic accident. Because of her good reputation all over the world, Camilla became a public enemy of the people of the world for a time. In people's opinion, it is precisely because of Camilla's intervention that Diana will unfortunately die due to an accident.
When the storm subsided, Camilla reappeared in the public eye in 1999 as Charles's companion. In 2000, the Queen of England solemnly attended the birthday celebration of King Constantine on the occasion of Camilla. Public opinion believes that this shows that she identifies with Camilla's identity.
In 2005, Charles and Camilla were officially married. But because Camilla was a divorced woman, she would not be able to hold the title of Princess of Wales and would have to receive titles such as Duchess of Cornwall and Countess of Chester. That is, even if Charles ascends the throne in the future, Camilla will still not be able to become queen.
In this complicated emotional entanglement, Charles finally chose to obey his heart and bravely pursue his love. Camilla, on the other hand, eventually married the prince during years of waiting.
Diana doesn't seem to be a loser either, though. Although she was not satisfied with her marriage, she became the most respected "Princess Diana" in the world.
