Born Camilla Shand, on July 17, 1947, in London, Prince Charles’
companion was educated in London, Switzerland, and France.
“Milla,”
as her friends call her, met Charles in the early 1970s, and their
friendship grew into a romance. Thinking
that the Prince would never marry her, Milla married someone else in 1975
and had two children.
But her friendship with the Prince endured, deepened even, and
Camilla became a constant in his life, even after his wedding in July 1981
to Lady Diana Spencer. After it was revealed that the fairytale marriage
was not without its difficulties, Charles and Diana announced their
separation in December 1992. Camilla, still a trusted member of the
Prince’s inner circle, offered Charles the support and comfort he could
find nowhere else. After
Diana’s death, Prince
Charles began appearing in public with Milla.
Will they ever marry?
For
now, Milla wears an “M” for “MISTRESS.”
