This August 28, 1996, at the time when the London court definitively records his divorce from Lady Di, Charles becomes the most hated man in England.
The Brits swear they will never forgive the heir to the throne for causing Diana, the “Princess of Hearts” (or, alternatively, “People's Princess”), so much pain.
Nor will they accept the one that Diana had given the pet name of "Rottweiler", and whom they saw as the husband thief and the wicked stepmother: the so-called Camilla Parker Bowles.
And yet... Twenty-seven years have passed since that day in the summer of 1996;
time has done its work and the cursed couple have managed to restore their image.
With well-rehearsed communication operations, of course, but also with fits of laughter and spontaneous glances,

Married on April 9, 2005, dubbed since by the people, and by Elizabeth II before her death, Charles and Camilla have been spinning perfect love in broad daylight since their first public appearance together in 1999. Consecration: this Saturday, May 6, the couple will be crowned side by side at Westminster Abbey, London.
Charles III will (finally) be crowned king, but above all Camilla will become queen.
She who was initially only to wear the title of “princess consort” when her husband ascended the throne.
The revenge of a long impossible love.
