Correct, rrAGO.

Charles & Camilla had been young lovers while Lady Diana was still in her pre-teens. She apparently got tired of waiting for her Prince Charming to be ready to wed, and while the Heir to the British Throne continued bacheloring around, Camilla Parker found a suitable second best and became Camilla Parker-Bowles. (Of course she was a 'commoner', may have had other boyfriends besides Charles and was perhaps not considered suitable to become the future Queen of England.)

Even the courtship & marriage to Diana was virtually forced upon Charles, as he had just turned 30, needed to begin producing some heirs of his own, and was pretty much told by his father to grow up and get on with it.

Hence the zero-ing in on the pretty teenager, whose older sister Charles had also dated...at the estate down the road.

Gosh with all this sordid history...one can only imagine what kind of pressure Prince William may be under to find himself a bride. After all, he'll be 30 in just two years...and by that time, his father might very well be King!

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
