Moment King Charles fell in love with striking asset when he first met Camilla

They say that good things come to those who wait, and that certainly seems to have been the case for King Charles and Queen Camilla, who celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary on 9 April.

For a couple that many believed would never be able to marry, let alone mark such a significant milestone, it is little short of an astonishing achievement. “For a long time, people like me would have told you there was absolutely no way Charles could marry Camilla, that it was absolutely out of the question and wasn’t going to happen,” royal historian Hugo Vickers tells OK! “But it did happen – and it worked.” In fact, few love stories have endured quite like that of our King and Queen – and few have been beset by so many obstacles.There was an “immediate attraction” when Prince Charles and Camilla Rosemary Shand first crossed paths at a polo match in Windsor Great Park in 1970. “From the moment he met her, he seemed struck by her,” says Hugo. “Obviously, they just clicked and it’s clear that something about her appealed to him very early on.” Despite such early promise, Charles’s burgeoning naval career cut short any prospect of long-term romance and Camilla soon fell into the arms of dashing British Army officer, Andrew Parker Bowles.The couple married in 1973 and had two children, Tom and Laura, while Charles went on to marry Lady Diana Spencer in 1981.

But Camilla was never far from his thoughts and, five years later, he and Mrs Parker Bowles reportedly rekindled their affair.
