Although King Charles and Queen Camilla’s love story has endured more scandals than it has, they have still managed to remain a enduring couple 20 years after their wedding.
On April 9th, Charles and Camilla will celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary.
They say that good things come to those who wait, and that certainly seems to have been the case for King Charles and Queen Camilla, who celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary on 9 April. For a couple that many believed would never be able to marry, let alone mark such a significant milestone, it is little short of an astonishing achievement.
According to royal historian Hugo Vickers, “people like me would have told you there was no way Charles could marry Camilla, that it was absolutely impossible and wasn’t going to happen.” However, it did occur and it succeeded.
Continue reading the article.
In fact, few love stories have endured quite like that of our King and Queen – and few have been beset by so many obstacles. There was an “immediate attraction” when Prince Charles and Camilla Rosemary Shand first crossed paths at a polo match in Windsor Great Park in 1970.
Hugo claims that “from the moment he met her, he seemed struck by her.” They obviously clicked, and it’s obvious that something about her immediately appealed to him.
On February 10, 2005, Charles and Camilla made their engagement announcement.
Despite such early promise, Charles’s burgeoning naval career cut short any prospect of long-term romance and Camilla soon fell into the arms of dashing British Army officer, Andrew Parker Bowles. The couple married in 1973 and had two children, Tom and Laura, while Charles went on to marry Lady Diana Spencer in 1981. But Camilla was never far from his thoughts and, five years later, he and Mrs Parker Bowles reportedly rekindled their affair.
Aware of her husband’s adultery, an increasingly unhappy Princess Diana ignited a royal scandal when she exposed his and Camilla’s clandestine relationship in Andrew Morton’s 1992 book, Diana: Her True Story . This lead to their separation and eventual divorce four years later. But for Charles, now 76, and Camilla, 77, worse was to come.
In 1995, Diana’s explosive BBC Panorama interview – in which she memorably revealed “there were three of us in this marriage” – sent their reputations into freefall. Camilla, still smarting from the public humiliation of the “Camillagate” tapes scandal in 1993, became one of the most vilified figures in Britain.
Two years later, when Diana was killed in a Paris car crash, it seemed there would be no way back for her, with even the late Queen Elizabeth said to have branded her “that wicked woman”. But Camilla wasn’t one to be cowed and with grit, patience and a surprising amount of good humour – she managed to turn things around.
According to royal author Katie Nicholl, Camilla Parker Bowles was “quite extraordinary from the beginning.” Being the most vengeful woman in Britain, the public hatred she faced, the intense media scrutiny, and being her, it’s obvious, it wasn’t easy. She continued to live her life, raised her family, and survived. That, in my opinion, gives you an idea of this woman’s strength.
In April 2005, Camilla and Charles tied the knot.
In 1998, a nervous Camilla met Princes William and Harry for the first time, but the Queen was yet to be convinced by her and Charles’s relationship and didn’t attend her son’s 50th birthday celebrations, knowing Camilla would be there.
It was another two years before Camilla was formally introduced to her future mother-in-law, at a birthday luncheon for King Constantine of Greece at Highgrove. Slowly but surely, the Queen’s attitude was thawing and, by the time Charles and Camilla announced their engagement in 2005, the couple finally had her blessing.
Although she didn’t attend the civil ceremony at Windsor Guildhall, the monarch was present at the service of prayer at St George’s Chapel and later gave a warm-hearted and, according to Katie, “unusually sentimental speech” in which she declared she was “very proud” of her son and his new bride.
Camilla had finally gained acceptance, but despite her famously British ‘stiff upper lip’, she has admitted she found the earlier backlash “deeply unpleasant”. It was only the unwavering support of her loved ones – especially King Charles – that helped her weather the storm.
Katie describes it as “incredibly challenging” for her. However, she was surrounded by close family and friends who came to her rescue and provided support during difficult times. Without them, she probably wouldn’t have survived, in my opinion. She has always had a strong love for Charles, which, in my opinion, helped her through. When you have a deep love for someone, it acts as a great support and bolsters your resolve.
Camilla received praise for her unwavering support.
In 2015, Charles himself poured praise on the way Camilla dealt with what he described as a “real, real challenge”, telling CNN, “She’s been brilliant in the way she’s tackled these things.” Hugo sees their forthcoming anniversary, which comes just over 12 months after the couple were rocked by King Charles’s cancer diagnosis, as clear evidence that they have “proved the cynics wrong”. He says, “They’re very, very devoted to each other and there’s no question that Charles is a much happier, more relaxed man than he used to be.”
His improved state of mind is undoubtedly related to his mother’s historic gesture, which she made to announce her desire for Camilla to be referred to as the Queen Consort upon Charles’s accession, on the eve of her Platinum Jubilee in 2022. In doing so, she not only showed the world Camilla had her full acceptance, but she also expressed deep gratitude for the couple’s long-lasting union.
Katie says the late Queen played a significant part in Camilla’s remarkable recovery. “Consort” has obviously been eliminated since the Coronation, but of course that word has. She is a member of Charles’s family, and that is always what she wants. There is no denying that our King and his “darling wife,” as he frequently refers to her, are still in love.
According to Katie, “I believe that their is the story of love that lasts forever.” It began as a polo dalliance. The flame of romance lit there, and it never really died. It has overcome a lot of obstacles, faced many challenges, and has since grown stronger and more vibrant.
This journey from scandal to stability is all the more remarkable given that their relationship was once condemned not only by the most senior members of the royal family, but by millions around the world.
You just see two people who are completely in partnership with one another when you look at them as a couple, Katie says. What was initially perceived as an adulterous affair that threatened to break the monarchy has evolved into one of the greatest royal love stories, ironically because they work together because they are a pair.
For a wide range of occasions, vanilla perfumes are always a good choice. A spritz or two of a vanilla fragrance will do the trick, whether you’re getting ready for a date, heading to the office, or even drinking with the girls!
While some may consider vanilla to be too “basic,” it’s important to keep in mind that vanilla fragrances are regarded as an aphrodisiac with a well-known ability to soothe, seduce, and even increase arousal, which is why vanilla scents are currently popular on TikTok.
Over 97K videos have been created using the “vanillaperfume” hashtag on TikTok, with many users sharing their favorite, affordable scents. One TikToker, known as @vanilla_swirlxx, posted a video to the social media site that was praised for her favorite must-have sweet-smelling vanilla perfumes, which received over 500, 000 views.
The beauty editor at Cosmetify agrees, saying, “Vanilla scents are the ultimate sweet companion to help us power through the spring.” She says that vanilla fragrances are “highly versatile,” not just limited to the spring. You can wear it all year long if you pick a fragrance with the appropriate notes.
Finding the right fragrance without breaking the bank can be challenging because there is no denying the recent price increase of perfumes. Thankfully, we’ve done the work and compiled our top five picks to make this spring your sweetest one.
Lush Sticky Dates Body Spray, £28.00
A blend of sandalwood and benzoin resinoid makes this sweet and softly caramelized aroma a must-have springtime scent.
Lush is most famous for having an overwhelmingly pleasant-smelling store, which is what it is known for. You can therefore rely on the beauty brand to produce an unmatched scent. The best-selling Sticky Dates Body Spray is the best affordable option for providing a lasting scent that will garner all the compliments this spring, despite not being a perfume.
This timeless scent combines sweet sandalwood, aromatic vanilla, and 25% softening date syrup. It evokes chocolate and baked goods’ scents thanks to luxurious sandalwood oil and carob resinoid. Customers consistently rave about it because it is indulgent and irresistible. One reviewer said: “10/10. It stays put for days on my clothes. This bottle will last me 6 months without getting tired of it because one spray can go a long way.
For a long-lasting scent, spray generously over the body. Avoid irritation by avoiding the underarms, though. Additionally, it is advised to allow your skin to cool before applying it to your skin to make sure the scent lasts longer.
Vanilla Eau De Toilette from The Body Shop costs £15.00.
This Body Shop scent is fantastic for the environment and deliciously smelling.
This Vanilla Eau de Toilette smells incredibly sweet and is both delicious and beneficial to the environment. The Vegan Society has all approved 93% of the ingredients used to create this sweet scent. Customers claim that “the fragrance is so long-lasting and iconic” and that the natural scent will leave your skin feeling sweet and creamy all day.
Although this Eau de toilette (EDT) perfume has a light to medium fragrance (typically 5 to 15%), it still has a strong, long-lasting scent. Give generous spritz to the neck and pulse points to make it smell unbearably sweet.
KAYALI Vanilla 28 Eau de Parfum, £73.00
This vanilla scent, which the Mirror team adores, is the perfect combination to add to other floral scents.
Kayali’s Vanilla 28 Eau de Parfum is adored by The Mirror team. One of the most coveted scents in fragrance is a harmonious blend of rich vanilla, warm brown sugar, and velvety tonka, making this sweet, delicious, and addictive scent. Whip up your favorite dessert, and think about adding whipped cream. The perfect finishing touch to your spring wardrobe is this scent. You can layer it with other floral scents to give it a more distinctive smell even though it’s an EDT.
Top notes in this enchanting fragrance include a delightful blend of Brazilian tonka and naturally occurring Madagascar vanilla orchid, which work beautifully with the delicate sweetness of Brazilian tonka at its core. You are enveloped in rich and comforting layers by a harmonious blend of brown sugar, amber woods, musk, and patchouli, making it one of Kayali’s most adaptable and alluring fragrances.
Although undoubtedly more expensive than other options, this sweet scent is incredibly versatile and perfect for those who like to experiment with mixing perfumes.
Ariana Grande Vanilla Suede LOVENOTES, £75.00
The huge 150ml bottle of the celebrity perfume is exclusive to the UK.
There are some fragrances that shine despite their celebrity status, despite the fact that many people frequently opt to ignore celebrity perfumes. The UK premiered LOVENOTES by Ariana Grande last year, which is her personal effort to make scent the most universal love language. A little goes a long way, even though the scent is more expensive, at £75, and it comes in a sizable 150ml bottle.
This perfume creates a memorable, delicious, and delicious scent for a sensory experience, giving you an irresistibly beautiful second-skin sensation. The aroma of intimate warmth is first introduced by Italian bergamot, while sandalwood and rice milk give the body a tingling start. Vanilla bean and liquid musk in the base help to enhance this smell, giving it a cocooning sensuality and skin-like allure, and giving you a sweet smell that lasts a lifetime.
Eau de parfum Burberry Goddess for Women, a price of 58.40 dollars.
This Burberry vanilla perfume will have everyone asking, “What perfume are you wearing? ” a luxurious scent without the high price tag.
The Burberry Goddess for Women Eau de Parfum is a luxurious scent without the annoying price tag, which is a personal favorite of mine. This scent is so distinctive that it is truly unmatched by most and will make people wonder, “Where did you get your perfume from?”
A bespoke, aromatic Eau de Parfum with a balance of alluring vanillas, this silky and sensual Burberry Goddess perfume is. This Burberry fragrance’s top note features a subtle intertwinement of woody and vanilla aromas. The juice has a profound sweetness and a mysterious fullness thanks to the vanilla caviar’s hearty note. The base notes have a rich, layered, and instantly memorable scent, enhanced by vibrant and uplifting lavender.

There are differences too, with the Primark shoes featuring an all-silver sole and the Amina Muaddi pair having a mixture of silver and nude. While the more expensive shoes have a leather lining, Primark’s shoes are 100% synthetic.
Primark’s shoes are described as “a pair of heeled mules made from a see-through material”. They’re also available in pink.

Cancer (June 22 – July 23)
The peace and tranquillity you enjoy early on could give way to some turbulence. You aren’t being foolish to wonder whether this might be the calm before the storm. You can face any difficulties with courage or choose to stay in a safe place until they pass.
Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)
Now is a perfect time for a little getaway or to indulge in sports, romance and fun activities with the family. Your carefree spirit is contagious and everyone seems ready to have some fun.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)

Libra (Sept 24 – Oct 23)

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)
Discussions at home will flow smoothly. You’re feeling kind and open-hearted towards others. Whether for fun or learning, you will be in your element, hosting a gathering in your home. A neighbour might mention something you aren’t happy about but don’t let this spoil your day.

Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)
Your mood, wishes and reactions to other people’s suggestions will play a crucial role in everything. There’s nothing wrong with looking to leave behind an unfulfilling job or monotonous responsibilities. It’s a good time too, to revamp your health care routine.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
Your charm and persuasive skills are making you very popular. Take advantage of this by going after what you truly desire. People are more likely to support your ideas as they are drawn in by your enthusiasm. Just be careful not to push them too hard.

The Turks and Caicos Islands are becoming increasingly popular with travellers looking for a lesser-known Caribbean destination, and when you see the glorious stretch of sand in front of Wymara Resort + Villas, you’ll be in no doubt that you’ve found a real gem. Grace Bay Beach, which has unbelievably clear blue sea, was rated by TripAdvisor as the best beach in the world in 2022.
Wymara is a luxurious sanctuary where you can leave all your worries behind you from the moment you walk into the lobby, are handed one of the resort’s signature blue cocktails and catch a glimpse of the breathtaking infinity pool.

At the resort
I stayed in one of Wymara’s One Bedroom Oceanfront Suites, which had an open-plan living room and kitchen, a luxurious bedroom with a stylish en-suite bathroom – and was bigger than my entire Manchester flat.
I’m normally one to live out of my suitcase when on holiday, but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make use of the walk-in wardrobe. Another of my favourite features was the huge bathtub in the bedroom, and the outdoor seating area overlooking the beach was the perfect place to watch the sunrise.
A short drive away were the luxurious Wymara Villas. With one, four, five and six-bedroom residences available, they’re perfect for couples, bigger groups and families. Each has its own private swimming pool, while the Amuse villas have a curved waterslide that delivers you straight into the sea.
Wymara also has a number of luxurious villas ((c) 2022 Gary JamesOwner/Director of Topitech Ltd. ta Provo PicturesAdmin Building, The Yacht ClubTurtle Cove MarinaProvidenciales, Turks &, Caicos Islands+1 649 432 9453gary@provopictures.com)
I usually avoid going in the sea but the water here is shallow enough to stand up in, so it’s great for kids and less confident swimmers.
The Sunset Cove Beach Club has a gym, tennis and pickleball courts, and an open-air games room. My favourite activity was the ‘ pool-lates ‘ class – which was pilates on a floating board. My instructor, Arenthia, made me feel at ease, and I left with a fully stretched- out body and a sense of accomplishment.

The food at Wymara Resort
Wymara Resort has two restaurants, Indigo and Blue Water Bistro. Indigo is one of the top-rated restaurants in Turks and Caicos and it’s easy to see why. I ordered the grilled chicken flavoured with coconut, lemongrass, chilli and coriander, which came with jerk spiced coconut rice. It was my favourite meal of the week – the flavours complemented each other perfectly. And for those with a sweet tooth, I highly recommend Chef Andrew’s homemade ice cream.
After dinner I headed to the Pink Bar for a nightcap. Sitting around a firepit on the beach made me feel like I was on Love Island. The bar offers casual bites, as well as lunch during the day. The conch fritters are a must try.

The spa at Wymara Resort
Wellness plays a big part at Wymara and its spa treatments are second to none. The resort recently launched a collaboration with luxury beauty brand 111Skin, which leaves your skin feeling as soft as a baby’s. Even with my dry complexion, my face felt perfectly hydrated after my incredible facial and the glow lasted for days. My massage was also one of the best I’ve ever had.
Wymara offers private and group sunshine and sunrise yoga sessions, and our morning practice set a tranquil tone for our whole trip. We also enjoyed a healing sound bath at sunset, which was just dreamy.
What do to around the resort
There are lots of beautiful beaches to explore on the islands, where you can snorkel in the clear waters. Mudjin Harbour on the north side of Middle Caicos is also worth a visit. It’s lined with caves and is so tranquil you’ll feel like you’re the only person on the island.

For something a little livelier, we took a boat to floating bar Noah’s Ark, a favourite among celebrities, including Drake. With a fun atmosphere and inflatables, trampolines and swings in the surrounding waters, it was an unforgettable experience.
How much does it cost to stay at Wymara Resort?
Rooms at Wymara Resort + Villas start from £631 per night in low season (April to November). British Airways flies from London to Providenciales via Nassau every Thursday and Sunday during low season, from £590 per person.
