In 1981, British aristocrat Diana Spencer married Charles, son of Queen Elizabeth II. She is preparing for the wedding of the century that 750 million people are preparing to watch from their television sets, enough to put pressure on the young woman with a smile as pretty as she is shy. But it’s not just the weight of the British crown that weighs on Lady Di’s heart: her future husband’s relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles has something to cause her torment. A gift that gave him symbolizes the strength of this relationship that he could never give up, as the story goes Vanity Fair.
If her wedding with Prince Charles is preparing fast, Lady Diana can not help but think of another woman who holds a great place in the heart of the one to whom she will say yes. Camilla Parker Bowles had met the son of the Queen of England at a polo match in 1970 but their romance did not last because he had to join the Royal Navy. An abortive love story but which will not disappear over the years, despite her marriage to the officer of the Horse Guards, Andrew Parker Bowles, future father of her two children.
According to Vanity FairPrince Charles telephones his friend Camilla daily, but there is a straw that breaks the camel’s back: “Diana’s jealousy explodes when she discovers, in the office of one of the Prince of Wales’ aides, a gold bracelet with a blue enamel plate engraved with the intertwined G & F initials, like Gladys and Fred, the nicknames that Camilla and Charles gave each other so as not to be spotted.” A discovery that Charles confirms: the precious object is indeed intended for Camilla, but for him means concretely their break-up, like a farewell gift. Her entourage will even see her cry during the wedding rehearsals, but it was therefore not emotion due to stress…
Camilla Parker Bowles divorced in 1995 and finally married the man she fell in love with when she was 23 in 2005. A union which was accepted by the crown which made her the Duchess of Cornwall, less by public opinion which keeps from her the image of the eternal rival of the princess of hearts, tragically deceased exactly twenty years ago. -five years.
