Why Prince Charles, Camilla Revisited ‘Cloak And Dagger Antics’ After Diana’s Death

Prince Charles and Camilla were forced to keep their relationship low-key after Princess Diana’s death.

Contrary to the rumors, the death of the Princess of Wales did not immediately provide Prince Charles and Camilla more opportunities to be together physically. In fact, they went back to their old ways when they were still hiding their affair from the world.

While speaking with Daily Mail, royal expert Penny Junor said that Prince Charles and Camilla began seeing each other discreetly after the shocking death of the late royal.

“But now they were back to the cloak-and-dagger antics – and long telephone conversations. It was a few weeks before Charles summoned the courage to face the public, and he knew it would be a long time before his name could be linked to Camilla’s again – the longer still before they could be seen together,” she said.

Junor added that the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall, who were once so close to each other, became so far apart. But despite their struggle, the royal couple managed to make their relationship work.

In fact, it didn’t take the heir to the throne very long to introduce Camilla to his sons, Prince William and Prince Harry. In fact, Prince Charles already started introducing Camilla to her boys two months before Princess Diana was involved in a fatal car crash in Paris. But it was only after her death that Prince Charles’ sons got to spend time with Camilla.

Following their first introduction, Junor said that Prince William and Prince Harry both stayed quiet while their dad explained the situation to them. Prince William also gave his dad the impression that he wasn’t interested to know anything about his then-girlfriend.

But Prince Charles also made it clear that Camilla was a non-negotiable part of his life. And as such, Prince William and Prince Harry were left with no other choice but to accept her.
