查尔斯王子:婚礼前夜仍在挂念前女友
In July 1981, the night before his glamorous wedding to Princess Diana, Prince Charles reportedly wept as he was still torn about his feelings for his former girlfriend Camilla Parker-Bowles.
据称,1981年7月,在与戴安娜王妃举行那场世纪婚礼的前夜,查尔斯王子依然挂念前女友卡米拉·帕克·鲍尔斯,为此痛苦不堪,乃至伤心落泪。
According to Prince Charles: The Passions and Paradoxes of an Improbable Life, a new biography of the Prince of Wales by royal writer Sally Bedell Smith, Charles felt pressured into his marriage to Diana -- and he was still torn about his love for the then-married Camilla.
The story of Charles and Camilla is well-documented -- the two dated after being introduced in 1971, beginning a love affair that would make headlines for decades. According to Bedell Smith, Charles liked that Camilla was down-to-earth, loved the countryside and wasn’t interested in fashion. They also shared the same sense of humor and he was drawn to the fact that she "always listened."
It seemed natural that Charles would be attracted to upper-class Camilla -- Lady Annabel Goldsmith tells Bedell Smith that Camilla was "an intensely warm maternal laughing creature, with enormous sex appeal."
Despite having an apparently happy relationship, the two split up when Charles was stationed overseas with the Royal Navy in 1973.
