Why Princess Diana couldn’t stand Camilla Parker Bowles.
To put it lightly,
Camilla Parker Bowles was a thorn in Princess Diana’s side.
According to the documentary Diana in her Own Words,
Camilla was Charles’s first real love when they met in the early 70s,
but the royal family dismissed her as an ineligible wife of the prince,
who was bound to the tradition of wedding a virgin
with a fabulous pedigree.
Camilla and Charles never stopped seeing each other, though,
even when Diana came into the picture.
A few years into the marriage,
Diana confronted Camilla at a party she attended with Charles.
At some point during the night,
she pulled Camilla aside and said,
I know what’s going on between you and Charles,
and I just want you to know that I want my husband.
Camilla never backed down, though,
and eventually married Prince Charles in 2005,
eight years after Diana’s death.
Camilla is quite literally like Ariana Grande,
a literal homewrecker and bop
