- The two started dating immediately and were often seen spending time at polo matches and later at Broadlands, the estate belonging to Prince Charles's uncle Lord Mountbatten.
- Even though they seriously dated, Camilla wasn't thought of as marriage material by royal insiders, as she didn't come from an aristocratic background and wasn't a virgin. This prevented her from being seen as a serious contender to become a future queen.
- The pair eventually broke up when Prince Charles was scheduled to leave on the HMS Frigate with the Royal Navy.
- During his time away, Camilla reconnected with her longtime beau Andrew Parker Bowles.
- Andrew and Camilla became engaged in March 1973, while Prince Charles was stationed in the West Indies, and married a year later.
