Camilla, The Duchess of Cornwall (Camilla Parker Bowles)

British royalty, Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall (2005 - present). Camilla was the longtime mistress of Britain's Prince Charles, long before they married in 2005. Their relationship dated back to the early 1970s, before either of them were married.

In 1973, she married Brigadier Andrew Parker Bowles, with whom she had two children. The friendship between the Prince of Wales and the Parker Bowles continued, and Prince Charles was actually designated the godfather of their son, Tom Parker Bowles.

Charles' first wife, Princess Diana, publicly blamed the relationship between her husband and Camilla for the break-up of their marriage. Whether or not the assessment was just, Camilla was vilified as a marriage wrecker in the press, and by the public. In the years since Charles and Di's divorce, many have softened their view of Camilla. Following Princess Diana's death, Charles' popularity has continued to rise, and with it, a growing acceptance of Camilla's place in his life.

Error correction or clarification

* Contrary to numerous reports, Camilla's mother did not die "October 1994." July 14th, 1994, is her true date of death, and is the date reported in most of her obituaries which appeared in many July 15th, 1994 newspapers. So, as you can see, it would have been exceedingly difficult for her to die again, three months later.
