Princess Diana endured a tumultuous separation from then-Prince Charles, who was entangled in an extramarital affair with Mrs. Camilla Parker Bowles at the time.
The dissolution of Princess Diana’s marriage to then-Prince Charles had long been foreseen, a fact the late princess had already intuited.
Recalling a poignant conversation with the Princess of Wales, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond recounted a poignant exchange that ultimately proved prophetic.
Speaking to OK! Magazine, Bond revealed that ahead of her now-famous 1995 interview with Martin Bashir, during which Diana exposed Charles’ affair with Camilla, the princess divulged an unexpected revelation.
Reflecting on Camilla's journey, Bond described it as a remarkable odyssey rooted in a straightforward love story amidst a backdrop of intricate circumstances.
"I vividly remember the day I spent with Diana in her drawing room, where she candidly shared her recognition that Camilla had always been and would continue to be Charles’s true love," Bond disclosed to the publication. "She acknowledged that any marital union Charles might have pursued would never match the depth of his connection with Camilla. What truly struck me was Diana’s portrayal of her romantic rival as ‘loyal, discreet, and deserving of acknowledgment.’”
Bond affirmed that Diana's words had ultimately proven to be remarkably accurate over the years.
In the wake of Princess Diana's passing, Charles and Camilla openly pursued their relationship and eventually exchanged vows in 2005, remaining steadfastly united ever since.
Bond further emphasized the unwavering commitment between Camilla and Charles, particularly highlighting the Queen Consort's steadfast support during the monarch's recent health challenges.
