King Charles' affair with his now-wife, Camilla Parker Bowles, has been common knowledge for decades, and much was previously made of her transition from mistress to Queen.
But far less has been reported about his supposed second mistress, Lady Dale 'Kanga' Tryon, who died just months after his first wife, Princess Diana, in mysterious circumstances.
Once described as "the only woman who ever understood Charles", Dale was a socialite in British royal court circles and a successful businesswoman in the fashion world.
