King Charles was 'most eligible bachelor in world' and got set up by US President

Life could have very different for King Charles III - as he may have ended up being married to a President's daughter. The new Monarch, who has taken the throne after the death of his beloved mother Queen Elizabeth II, is now happily married to Queen Consort Camilla and had his two sons with his first wife, Princess Diana.

However, he was one of the world's most eligible bachelors when he had an entertaining weekend with Richard Nixon at the White House in 1970 alongside his sister, Princess Anne. "That was quite amusing, I must say," Charles told CNN in 2021. "That was the time when they were trying to marry me off to Tricia Nixon."
