7. When Prince Charles Met Camilla Parker Bowles

In an unexpected coincidence, we recorded this episode only days before Queen Elizabeth II’s passing and Charles becoming the new King of England. But long before Charles became king, and before he met Princess Diana, Charles met Camilla Rosemary Shand. And she captured his heart for the rest of his life. Why didn’t Charles marry Camilla in the first place? Why didn’t he feel for his wife Diana—beautiful and adored by all—as he did for Camilla? In trying to answer those questions, Kel became obsessed with these controversial royals. We hope you enjoy. ♡ Books used: "Prince Charles: The Passions and Paradoxes of an Improbable Life" by Sally Bedell Smith; "Charles and Camilla: Portrait of a Love Affair" by Gyles Brandreth.  Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for ‘fair use’ for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
