The funeral of Sir Angus Ogilvy, husband of Princess Alexandra of Kent, was the final straw for King Charles to face his parents.

Before the royal funeral in 2005, the king was told by his mother that Queen Camilla could not be with her, and the two attended the funeral separately.

The Sun reports that the ruling has left the former Prince of Wales, unfairly seen as weak, “furious” and prompted him to come forward against his parents.

Almost four months later, the two were married, and Camilla embarked on a journey to escape Diana’s shadow.

Despite Queen Elizabeth’s refusal to attend the low-key wedding at Windsor Town Hall, the public was delighted to see their new future king marry the woman he has loved since 1970.

In the 1996 program, Charles and Camilla would be known in court circles as “Operation PB”, beginning their journey to win the hearts of the public.

Camilla was being demonised by the public and the media at the time, while members of the royal family pressured Charles to “let her go”.

After meeting Mark Boland, who described Camilla as “frankly, a sinking ship, under a lot of pressure,” according to The Sun, Charles hired the well-connected director of the Press Complaints Commission to serve as his role. his assistant private secretary.

His role will see him curate a campaign that could improve Camilla’s profile.

By July 1997, months before Diana’s death, the couple were “openly intimate” at a party at Charles Highgrove’s home.

A few weeks later, the couple met then-Prime Minister Tony Blair’s closest ally Peter Mandelson, who told Charles “there’s the impression that you feel sorry for yourself and you’re sullen”.

The comment gave Boland an idea that would eventually lead to the couple’s wedding, but that plan nearly derailed in September of that year when Diana died.

As the public mourns the loss of Diana, Charles and Camilla take their relationship underground as they deal with brutal backlash.

The backlash against Camilla was devastating. Royal life was unbearable for Diana, with the public seeing Charles as the indifferent husband and Camilla as the shrewd mistress.

A photo of the couple was out of the question, and they tried to avoid public outrage.

William met Camilla nine months after his mother’s death. According to The Sun, sources said the queen was so nervous about the 30-minute meeting that she was “shivering like a leaf” and once it was over, she joked: “I really need gin and tonic!”.

The two meet again before Harry joins them.

On January 28, 1999, Charles and Camilla made their first public appearance.

It has since become one of the most memorable group photos in modern royal history. The pair made their debut as they left the Ritz in London after attending Camilla’s sister Annabel Elliott’s 50th birthday party.

While some commentators described the act as an “insult” to Diana, others were glad they were able to open up about their longtime love. By 2003, the couple had begun to gain public support.

The public and PB action has also been a success as William and Harry appear to have embraced their father’s long-standing love.

When the couple finally got married in April 2005, the brothers were overjoyed as they walked out of town hall with their father and new stepmother.

Camilla has been regarded as a senior member of the royal family since the Holy Marriage, and in light of the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth, Charles announced his king title this week as he paid tribute to his “dear” Camilla.

“This has also been a time of change for my family. I count on the loving help of my dear wife Camilla.

“In recognition of her own devoted public service, she has become my queen since we were married 17 years ago.

“I know she will bring to her new role the unwavering dedication to duty that I have so relied on.”
