The royal family was reportedly unsupportive of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles’ relationship. But at the end of the day, the royal couple fought for each other and they are still happily married today.

In an upcoming episode of “The Crown” Season 3, the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall’s relationship will be revisited. Camilla’s relationship with her ex-husband, Andrew Parker Bowles, will also be featured on the show.

According to Marie Claire, rumors have always been ripe about the royal family trying to break Prince Charles and Camilla’s relationship apart especially since the latter was dubbed as unsuitable for the future King.

In the letter that he wrote to Prince Charles, his uncle Lord Louis Mountbatten made it clear that Camilla wouldn’t have been his choice for his nephew.

“I think it is disturbing for women to have experiences if they have to remain on a pedestal after marriage,” he wrote.

Since Camilla was in a long-term relationship with Andrew, it became evident that she was no longer a virgin. As such, Prince Charles ended up marrying Princess Diana. There are rumors that the heir to the throne was not really in love with his wife. But since the Princess of Wales was a virgin, she was regarded as an ideal partner for the royal.

Meanwhile, royal expert Penny Junor said that after Princess Diana passed away, the royal family once again tried their luck with separating Prince Charles from Camilla.

“When Michael Peat arrived from Buckingham Palace to take up the job with the prince, he came with a clear agenda. His instructions were to sever Charles’ relationship with Mrs. Parker Bowles because it was a mess and was detracting from his work,” Junor said in "The Duchess: The Untold Story."

But once again, the royal family failed in their mission. Prince Charles and Camilla tied the knot in 2005, and they are both waiting for the day when they will become the King and Queen of England.
