There have been a lot of rumors and details regarding the relationship between Princess Diana and Camilla Bowles, and about the feeling that the Princess had about Camilla since she was the one that ruined her marriage and made her life painful during her marriage to Prince Charles. The first time Princess Diana mentioned the “love triangle” was in 1995 when she said that she felt crowded in her marriage since there were the three of them.
What Was their Relationship Prior to Divorce?
There has been a book with the title The Duchess: Camilla Parker Bowles and the Love Affair That Rocked the Crown, and it was written by Penny Junor. Here, it is stated that Princess Diana and Camilla Bowles had a pretty friendly and respectful relationship. It needs to be mentioned that Prince Charles and Camilla Bowles had been dating before he met Princess Diana. Camilla married to Andrew Parker Bowles with whom she made frequent parties at Bolehyde Manor. More importantly, Prince Charles and Princess Diana used to go there frequently. It is also an interesting fact that Diana was the one who helped Camilla with her children since she had an experience as a nanny.
Suspicious?
It is said that the first suspicions occurred when Camilla had a conversation with Princess Diana and implied that she would like to see her him alone, and that it was some time after the announcement of the engagement.
Affair?
Princess Diana realized that Prince Charles was unfaithful a bit before the wedding itself when she recognized a piece of jewelry that Camilla wore and it was bought by Prince Charles. She even confronted him and inquired about the bracelet, and that was the moment she realized what had been happening for a long time behind her back.
Bracelet
So, it was the bracelet that revealed the infidelity. It was engraved with the nicknames of Charles and Camilla that they gave to each other – Gladys and Fred, i.e. with the initials. More importantly, Camilla used to wear that bracelet very often during Prince and Princess’ marriage.
Conclusion
The most tragic thing is that Prince Charles saw nothing wrong in his infidelity and implied that all Princes before him had mistresses, so it is normal that he has one. This all culminated in divorce in 1996. One note, 205 saw the marriage of Charles and Camilla when she became Duchess of Cornwall.
