How long have Charles and Camilla been romantically entwined?
Charles and Camilla first crossed paths in 1970, after which they became friends and dated. But when the prince jumped into navy life, Camilla decided to marry someone else. They became reacquainted in 1986, famously prompting Charles’ then-wife Princess Diana to later complain that there were “three in the marriage.” The pair appeared together for the first time before the cameras in 1999, two years after Diana’s death. Another two years passed before the couple shared their first public kiss. Attending a charity event hosted by Parker-Bowles, Charles seized Camilla’s arm and kissed her on both cheeks as cameras captured the moment.
