Prince Charles met a 23-year-old Camilla Shand at a polo match at Windsor Great Park in 1970. “He loved the fact that she smiled with her eyes as well as her mouth, and laughed at the same silly things as he did,” royal biographer Penny Junor recalled in The Duchess: The Untold Story. “In short, he was very taken with her, and after that first meeting he began ringing her up.”
