It’s no secret that Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla Parker Bowles’ extramarital affair shook the crown to its core and put the final nail in the coffin in Princess Diana and Prince Charles’ strained marriage.

They have come through, and I’m very proud and wish them well. My son is home and dry with the woman he loves.”
