King Charles’ affair with Camilla during his marriage to Princess Diana is one of the key storylines in the latest season of The Crown, showing how the late Princess found out her husband was being unfaithful and recreating her infamous “three people in her marriage” interview.
Charles and Camilla dated before the now-King met his first wife, however it didn’t work out. They remained close friends but soon rekindled their romance, which didn’t go unnoticed by the heartbroken Diana. She found gifts Charles bought for his mistress in his office and knew they used secret nicknames for each other.
But Diana wasn’t just going to sit back and watch her marriage fail, and once confronted Camilla at a party in what she later described as the “bravest moment of her marriage”.
