Since Charles and Camilla got married in 2005, their relationship has gone from strength to strength.
In fact, Camilla has been by her husband's side in recent months following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, as they both adjusted to their new roles as Charles embarked on his early career as monarch.
When he became king, he paid tribute to Camilla in his first stirring speech, recalling how dependent he was on his wife Camilla.
Although the couple celebrated nearly 20 years of marriage, they formed a close bond from the day they met.
royal expert Angela Levin revealed that the couple bonded over their love of the outdoors and felt comfortable together from day one.
"They got on very well, very easily and naturally. They had a lot in common, such as a love of the countryside and horses, and a great sense of humour. They felt they got along very well from the start."
Furthermore, according to Angela, the author of Camilla: From Outcast to Queen, Charles was initially shy around Camilla and she found him funny, which comforted him. "He was very shy and very studious, but she really listened to him," explained Camilla, who said she was the only person he could really talk to.
Charles felt that he was a bit of a letdown to his parents because he enjoyed gardening and art, while his father Prince Philip was dissatisfied that he was not manly enough for playing football and rugby . But Camilla found him funny, and still does.
But considering that Camilla was not born into a noble family, experts added that the queen's status meant that her relationship with Charles was hindered.
Because it would be inappropriate for an heir to the throne to marry someone who was not of noble or royal birth.
This was difficult for Charles.
He obviously wanted to be with Camilla, but he knew his mother wouldn't agree because she was always very responsible and he didn't want to undermine the monarchy.
As much as they liked each other, Camila was forced to spend most of her time at home because of how people viewed her.
