Royal author Penny Junior claimed that Charles was aware he wasn\u2019t in love with his future wife Diana, but it was already too late for him to call off the wedding.\n
\u201cCharles was not convinced he was doing the right thing in marrying Diana but there was no way out and, bolstered by the hope that things would be different once they were married, he put a brave face on it,\u201d she\u00a0wrote, as reported by the\u00a0Mirror.\n What\u2019s most, Camilla and Diana knew each other and got along, but then things changed.\n \u201cI met [Camilla] very early on. I was introduced to the circle, but I was a threat, I was a very young girl, but I was a threat,\u201d Diana explained in the book\u00a0Diana: In Her Own Words.\n The love affair between Charles and Camilla started in 1986, according to Prince Charles\u2019 authorized biography, as quoted by Town & Country. At the time, Charles was still married to Princess Diana and she eventually became aware that her husband was cheating on her.\n The phone call revealed an intimate and sexual exchange between the couple, which became known as\u00a0Tampongate.\n Despite the mistreatment from the press, the bond between Camilla and Charles prevailed. On April 9, 2005, the couple exchanged vows in a civil ceremony at Windsor Guildhall.\n Later, at the wedding reception, the late Queen Elizabeth offered a toast to the newlyweds. However, she had other plans in mind, as she briefly stepped into another room to catch a horse race.\n \u201cI have two important announcements to make. The first is that Hedgehunter has won the Grand National,\u201d the queen said.\n \u201cThey have overcome Becher\u2019s Brook and The Chair and all kinds of other terrible obstacles. They have come through, and I\u2019m very proud and wish them well. My son is home and dry with the woman he loves,\u201d Queen Elizabeth II continued as she made a comparison with her horses.\n Growing up, Camilla\u2019s parents owned houses in both East Essex and South Kensington and were considered to be part of the elite of that area. Consequently, Camilla and her siblings,\u00a0Annabel\u00a0and Mark, had plenty of things, including ponies.\n Speaking of her childhood, which she remembers as idyllic, Camilla said, \u201cI was one of the very lucky ones, I had the idyllic childhood right in the country, sitting on the South Downs with my brother and my sister and our pets and our ponies. I think it was a very simple childhood.\n \u201cSometimes in the summer, we used to ride to school on our ponies, probably something that\u2019s more Australian than English, but we used to ride and then tie them up and ride back again. It just shows how things have changed because, in those days, there was nothing on the roads. Can you imagine now letting a child ride to school with its satchel on its back? I mean, it wouldn\u2019t happen.\u201d\n As per\u00a0Town & Country,\u00a0Camilla\u2019s parents shopped at the luxurious and famous department store Harrods, and Camilla learned the art of small talk from her mother who came from an aristocratic family.\n \u201cMy mother was absolutely brilliant at making us speak to people,\u201d Camilla told\u00a0Women\u2019s Day. \u201cShe used to have people to dinner; it didn\u2019t matter who it was, old or young, some of them we thought were incredibly boring, but she used to sit at the end of the table and say: \u2018Talk! I don\u2019t care whether you\u2019re talking about your pony or your homework, just talk!\u2019 She was also quite forthright and never minced her words.\u201d\nDiana even confronted\u00a0Camilla once, but nothing changed.\n

Despite mastering this \u201cart,\u201d Camilla has always had problems with giving speeches.\n
