Are We Right to Embrace the Future Queen Camilla? Princess Diana Expert Tina Brown Sounds Off – PureWow

Brown also explained the complicated history of Prince Charles when it comes to love. Prince Charles has never really been seen as a tragic romantic figure, but he is because he fell in love with Camilla very early on, she says. He loved her, wanted to marry her, but couldnt even consider that because she was an aristocratic woman, but she wasnt nearly at the sort of level bride that was being considered for him. Plus, she already had sexual experience, unlike what was expected at the timethat Charles should marry a virginwhich is so ridiculously archaic.

As a result, Charles had to look younger and younger to find his bride and, as the story goes, ended up marrying Diana given that none of his contemporaries (he was 32 at the time of his marriage to Diana in 1981) could pass the virgin test. Charles stayed in love with Camilla all that time, she married someone else, but it was a really long time that he stayed emotionally faithful to Camilla. It was complete agony for him to have to marry someone else.

Royal times they are a-changing.
