Rarely Seen Photos Of Camilla, The Duchess Of Cornwall

Whatever the reason, Camilla, as we know, married Andrew Parker Bowles. There is speculation that even if she and Charles had wanted to marry in the early '70s, it would have been met with disapproval. The two remained friends throughout the '70s.

In 1979, rumors swirled that the two rekindled their romance. Apparently Prince Charles leaned heavily on Camilla following the assassination of Lord Mountbatten by the IRA. At the same time, Andrew Parker Bowles had several dalliances with women and reportedly approved of Camilla's affair.
