Soon after his divorce was finalised, Charles began slowly introducing Camilla into his life at large. Those plans were put on hold, however, after Diana's death in a car accident in 1997. By 1998, things were discreetly back on track, and a spokesperson for the prince confirmed a Guardian report that Camilla had been introduced to Prince William. Prince Harry shares in his 2023 memoir, "Spare," that during this time, he and William both asked their father not to marry Camilla.
In January 1999, Charles and Camilla orchestrated their first public appearance together, leaving a 50th birthday party for Camilla's sister together. Later that year, the BBC reported, Camilla joined Charles and his sons on a vacation in Greece.
