- A year after Diana's death, Queen Elizabeth will not entertain Charles's longtime soul-mate and mistress, the divorced Camilla Parker-Bowles, refusing to attend his fiftieth birthday party because of her presence. For once public opinion is with the Queen and Camilla is demonized in the press but Charles's spin-doctor Mark Bolland engineers a situation which demonstrates the couple's oneness and they are gradually accepted by the Establishment and, significantly, Charles's sons. By necessity, the Queen starts to unbend and learn to move with the times, attending the couple's wedding reception.—don @ minifie-1
- Within a year of Princess Diana's death, Prince Charles was in a full-time relationship with Camilla Parker-Bowles. They had been lovers in their youth but they both married others, which did not prevent them from having an ongoing affair. There was much speculation in the media but the Queen steadfastly refused to meet her, even refusing to attend Charles' 50th birthday party because Camilla would be there. The Prince and his press secretary set out a campaign to raise Charles' standing in the public opinion polls along with the public's perception of Camilla. With the death of her sister Princess Margaret soon followed by that of the Queen Mother, the Queen relented and eventually Camilla was introduced at a reception. From then on, it seemed the couple, who were married in the Registry office in Windsor, had public acceptability.—garykmcd
