The Royal Family has been the subject of many scandals, and King Charles has often found himself at the center of tumultuous sagas. For instance, in 1993, The King's extramarital affair with Queen Camilla made the headlines, and the monarch was unable to "shield" his sons—Prince William and Prince Harry—from the drama.
As reported by the Daily Mail, "In January 1993, a six-minute, 1,574-word transcript of the then-Prince of Wales speaking to Camilla four years prior was leaked to the press in a sordid controversy dubbed 'Camillagate.'" The illicitly recorded phone conversation—which was depicted in an episode of Netflix's The Crown—was somewhat explicit, and included Charles allegedly telling Camilla he'd like to be "reincarnated" as her "tampon."
