The fourth season of "The Crown" series will focus on Prince Charles' relationship with Diana and Camilla. The famous love triangle has long been commented on as one of the kingdom’s most complicated situations. But were Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, and Lady Diana, friends with each other? Here's what you need to know about their relationship.
Camilla was part of Charles' life when he met Diana.
The reason Diana spent time with Camilla was the fact that Prince Charles kept his ex-girlfriend close. Charles and Camilla began dating each other in the early 1970s, but split up when Charles went to the Navy to attend services in February 1973. Camilla married her ex-boyfriend, Andrew Parker Bowles in July , just a few months after the separation from the prince.
Charles had a close relationship with Camilla, even after she got married. In fact, Charles is the godfather of her son, Tom, according to E! News. So he had a permanent reason to stay in Camilla's life. As a result, when Charles started dating Diana, his friendship with Camilla continued. Basically, it was inevitable that Diana and Camilla would not meet.
Charles hid the real relationship with Camilla.
In The Duchess: Camilla Parker Bowles and the Love Affair That Rocked the Crown, royal expert Penny Junor wrote, "Instead of explaining to Diana at first that Camilla was an early ex-boyfriend, he introduced her as a friend. Junor added, "It never occurred to him to tell her who she was. "He told her after the engagement, admitting that Camilla was one of his girlfriends, but assured Diana that from now on, there would be no other women."
Fotografët kanë kapur momentin e Diana-s dhe Camilla-s.

Diana u takua për herë të parë me princin Charles në vitin 1977, kur Charles po dilte me motrën e saj, Lady Sarah Spencer. Asokohe, Diana ishte 16 dhe Charles 29. Romanca e tyre nisi në verën e vitit 1980. Kur Camilla dhe Diana u fotografuan bashkë në tetor të vitit 1980, Diana njihej si e dashura e princit. Dukej se ato ishin të afërta, por nuk kaloi shumë kohë që prania e Camilla-s të bëhej problem për marrëdhënien e saj me Charles.
Camilla mori pjesë në dasmën e princit Charles dhe Diana-s.

Tradhtia.
People ka raportuar se në bisedën me Morton, Diana zbuloi se Diana ishte konfrontuar me Camilla-n për lidhjen e saj me princ Charles, duke thënë, “Unë isha e tmerruar prej saj”. “I thashë: ‘Unë e di se çfarë po ndodh me ty dhe Charles dhe dua që ta dini. Ajo më tha: ‘Ke gjithçka ke dashur ndonjëherë. Gjithë burrat nëpër botë po dashurohen me ty dhe ke dy fëmijë të bukur, çfarë do më shumë?’.”
Diana gave the famous BBC interview in 1995, where she said: "There were three of us at that wedding, so it was a bit overcrowded."
Camilla and Prince Charles were married in a civil ceremony in April 2005. She has two children, Laura and Tom, from a previous marriage to Andrew Parker Bowles.
