A brief look at how King Charles III and Camila Parker Bowles’ romance blossomed
Charles and Camilla have had a long and loving relationship, which started when they were first introduced in 1970. Despite an instant connection, their relationship wasn’t meant to be at first, and both parties eventually moved on with others. However, years later, they reconnected, although, by that time, Charles was married to Princess Diana.
As the Prince of Wales, he tried to hide his affair with Parker Bowles, but it was eventually revealed to the public. Two years after splitting with Diana, Charles publicly acknowledged his relationship with Camilla, causing a shockwave around the world.
Despite the ups and downs in their relationship, Charles and Camilla have ultimately ended up together and happily in love. So what are the two doing for Valentine’s Day this year?
What is Camilla Parker Bowles doing for Valentine’s Day?
Queen Consort Camilla has a busy schedule on Valentine’s Day, as she will be making a public appearance in the West Midlands. Her first stop is at the Elmhurst Ballet School in Birmingham, where she will help mark the organization’s 100th anniversary. Parker Bowles has been actively involved in the region since her days as the Duchess of Cornwall.
She has been a patron of the Elmhurst Ballet School since 2006 and will be spending Valentine’s Day there to mark the school’s 100th anniversary. She will attend a performance, have a photo session with the students, and unveil a plaque in honor of the occasion.
