Prince Charles recently stood up to Prince Harry for a private meeting where they were supposed to work on their broken relationship after his and Meghan Markle‘s explosive interviews.
According to a royal insider, Prince Charles was scheduled to have a conversation with his youngest son during his trip to London for a tribute to his late mother, Princess Diana.
And now the reason why the heir to the throne skipped town and the tête-à-tête has been revealed. It was out of shame of facing Princess Diana’s family.
According to several media outlets, the Duke of Cornwall believed that his presence at the event would raise eyebrows and push some embarrassing past events back in the spotlight.
As Prince Charles is getting ready to take the throne, he is doing all he can not relive some shameful moments of his past.
Charles, Prince of Wales, is particularly troubled by one major scandal that hit his troubled marriage with Princess Diana — the leak of intimate and private tapes during their torrid affair with his current wife.
The heir apparent to the British throne and the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II is said to be deeply ashamed of the messages that were published while he was married to Princess Diana, and his then-mistress, Camilla Parker-Bowles, was married to Andrew Parker Bowles.
The scandal that was dubbed “Camillagate” rocked the British family to the core. The steamy conversations were recorded in 1989, but the bombshell leak took place in 1993, a few weeks after Princess Diana and Prince Charles announced the end of the royal marriage.
Camilla Parker-Bowles told a then-married Prince Charles in one message: “I can’t start the week without you.” Prince Charles replied: “I fill up your tank.”
The lovebirds also confessed to “desperately” needing to be together “all the time” and dropped a few sexual jokes. Prince Charles also told his lady love: “Your great achievement is to love me.”
She replied: “I’d suffer anything for you. That’s love. It’s the strength of love.”
A royal biographer, who is in contact with Prince Charles, Howard Hodgson, revealed the secret tapes still bother him “even today the episode troubles the Prince.”
Hodgson claimed: “He knows that people not sympathetic to him or the monarchy will recall it at the time of his coronation and at all other meaningful moments in his life. He remains deeply ashamed of the embarrassment that he caused his mother, deeply sorry for the pain it caused both his and Camilla’s children.”
Camilla Parker-Bowles, who holds the title the Duchess of Cornwall, did not take the title princess out of respect for Diana.
It has been confirmed that she will not become Queen Consort when her husband becomes king but will instead hold the title of Princess.
There are reports claiming that Prince Charles will fight for her to become Queen.
