King Charles' 'forgotten mistress' who died 'broken-hearted after he chose Camilla'

King Charles' affair with his now-wife, Camilla Parker Bowles had been highly documented for decades and was again highlighted during her transition from mistress to Queen But what isn't really common knowledge was his supposed second mistress, Lady Dale 'Kanga' Tryon, who died just months after his first wife, Princess Diana, in mysterious circumstances.

Lady Dale, who was once described as "the only woman who ever understood Charles", was a socialite in British royal court circles and a successful businesswoman in the fashion world, writes The Mirror.

She was born in Melbourne, Australia, in 1948 to a wealthy middle-class family. Dale then moved to London in 1972, where she met her future husband, Anthony Tryon, 3rd Baron Tryon. Dale became pals with Charles through Anthony, who were close friends during the 1970s and 1980s.
