King Charles' affair could cause 'constitutional crisis' at coronation, royal author claims

The coronation of King Charles could cause a "constitutional crisis" because of the fact he is divorced and has previously admitted having an affair while married, a royal author has claimed. Anthony Holden has said that the current coronation oath would need to be changed to account for the fact that the King was unfaithful while married to Princess Diana.

The then Prince of Wales and Diana separated in 1992 - but he was already having an affair with Camilla in 1986, according to a biography endorsed by Charles. In 1994, two years after the separation, Charles himself admitted that he had not been faithful.

Asked if he had remained true to Diana in a documentary about his life, he replied: " Yes, yes… Until it became irretrievably broken down, us both having tried."
