A Look at Prince Charles and Camilla's Relationship Through the Years

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.”

Towards the end of the decade, the duo were spotted again at a polo match two years before Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer.

Two years after the tragic death of Princess Diana (and three years after the Prince's divorce), Charles and Camilla made their public debut as a couple. Here, the duo are pictured outside of the Ritz Hotel in London, where Charles threw Camilla’s sister a 50th birthday party.

Here, the couple greet each other with a kiss at the 2001 National Osteoporosis Society anniversary in London.

Later that year, Charles and Camilla are photographed walking to the Ritz Hotel in London to attend a Christmas party together.

In 2002, Charles and Camilla visited Canisbay Church in Scotland. The smiling couple give off major Meghan Markle and Prince Harry vibes.

The duo laughed as they watched a game of tug of war at the 2004 Mey Games in Scotland.

Okay, cute. The couple—who are known as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay in Scotland—coordinated their outfits for an event at Crathie Kirk, the royal family’s regular church in Scotland.

Check out those grins! The couple burst into laughter at the 2008 Mey Highland Games in Scotland.
